Planters is Changing!

A Greener Future for Planters

At Planters, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you! After months of planning and preparation, we’re getting ready to bring our vision of inspiring gardening to life with a brand-new nursery and plant centre. Our goal? Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting to explore the joys of growing, we’re here to help you create something beautiful.

A Fresh Start with Deep Roots

Late last year, Merriments, a beloved name locally, sadly closed their doors. But their legacy lives on! Not only have we given their stock plants and nursery equipment a second home, but we’ve also been fortunate enough to welcome some of Merriments’ expert staff into our team. With their extensive knowledge of growing plants suited to soil and weather conditions in East Sussex, we’re confident that our new nursery will thrive.

What Does This Mean for You?

By focusing on locally cultivated plants, we can offer you healthier, hardier plants that are perfectly adapted to the Weald’s soil and climate. We will be growing all our plants in peat-free media and avoiding the use of chemicals and pesticides by using biological controls instead.

We’re passionate about inspiring you to create outdoor spaces that look beautiful and contribute to a healthier environment. Whether you have a sprawling garden or a small balcony, we want to help you introduce plants that attract pollinators, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity.

Supporting Local, Supporting Sustainability

We believe that gardening should support not just nature but also the community. That’s why we’re bringing together the best of Sussex and the surrounding areas, offering products from local makers and producers who share our commitment to environmental responsibility. Over time, you’ll find a growing selection of eco-friendly gardening essentials in our store, helping you and us be kinder to the planet.

And that’s not all; we’re also redesigning our indoor retail space! From high-quality seeds and plants to essential tools, we want to make it even easier to find everything you need for your gardening projects.

We can’t wait to embark on this journey with you. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out, Planters will provide the knowledge, plants, and tools you need to create a thriving, nature-friendly outdoor space. Stay tuned for more updates and sneak previews as we bring our vision to life!
