The best thing about meeting other gardeners of all ages and walks of life is seeing the passion on their faces and the enthusiasm in their voices when talking about the plants they love, and we all have such different tastes and often strong opinions when it comes to what we like and dislike.

At Langthorns plantery we genuinely have a real love and passion for plants, and wanted to share with you, some of our personal favourites.
