January in our shop: lots in bloom and looking good!

There isn't a lot of colour about in January, but there are still plenty of things to bring life to the garden. Here is a selection of plants, pots and other items in our shop, all taken in eary January 2013.

Festuca glauca grass and white Cyclamen in a black 'Artstone' bowl planter: an excellent combination.

Spring is only around the corner: a peaceful couple of hours was spent arranging a full stand of Suffolk Herbs organic vegetable and herb seeds. There is plenty to look forward to.

Our new Biohort storage shed: this is the best garden storage shed we have ever seen: discreet, secure, well-designed, compact and stylish.

'Artstone' window box planted with variegated ivy, Gaultheria and red Cyclamen.

One of several paintings by artist Maggie O'Dwyer - this one of ivy leaves and berries. Many of her paintings and prints are based on botanical themes, and her 'Botanical Alphabet' prints are very popular.

Birch robin nesting box for larger birds such as blackbirds and robins.

We love this stylish indoor or outdoor thermometer: our shop is a balmy 11ºC indoors!

But we also love these ones..... can't decide which colour we prefer though!

This tall black flower pot /  planter is very stylish and elegant. 'Artstone' make pots from a plastic / stone resin that has a natural finish and is lightweight,characterful and durable.

Hanging planter made by 'Artstone' which has a discreet plug, meaning that in can be used inddors or outdoors.

Omphalodes verna: winter Forget-me-mot living up to its name: in full bloom in early January.
