Sourcing pots at the Royal Botanic Gardens

Posted by Locally Sourced on August 3, 2011 at 7:17pm

FINISHING TOUCHES TO A GARDEN or outside space often involves using pots and containers planted-up with annuals, shrubs or topiary. There are so many options available from classic lead, faux lead, terracotta, fibreglass, stone, hazel and willow... that it can seem confusing. Choosing a pot or planter that complements your garden is key to creating a sense of harmony. Used selectively, we think this range of crackle-glazed terracotta pots and planters - spotted on a recent visit to the Garden Shop at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew (2.5 miles from Barnes) - would work well in most settings.

"Thanks William, yes a bit like being a retained fire fighter I suppose. Monthly payments for a 12 month contract, knowing that worst case scenario only 6 months or so might require visits. Which could be very few and far between, or more numerous…"

"Hi Richard, thank you for your reply. I've not approached either of these companies as yet, would you suggest Outco and Nurture are good companies to contact, and do you have any experience with either?"

"Hi Billy, that's a really good idea, even if the contracts are a mix of 'subsciption' and ad-hoc, it at least covers the expense in a worst case scenario. "

"Hi Tim i wear basic disposable ear plugs with either model if using for any extended period... not so much the volume per se, but it takes the edge off that irritating metallic sound... I think these are being sold for below cost, but heart warming…"

"My 130T arrived and was tested today.   It certainly runs fast...the high motor noise is slightly irritating compared to the rumble of the 130R though.  I've got used to working without ear defenders.    Planet tool owe you a finders fee."

"Thanks for the heads up on that Billybop. Just bought one of the HSA 130T's. Went for the 24" T variant. £152 is ridiculously good value, and it was delivered the very next day for free too. Amazing value. "

Richard Stone replied to William Baker's discussion Winter Services
"I would think approaching some of the national FM companies that outsource this type of work would be a good water to dip your toe in the water, as it were.  Outco and Nuture might be a good place to start.  "
