At East Ruston Old Vicarage we pride ourselves in the quality of our containers both large and small. Visitors to the garden often remark on how healthy and vigorous they are. Some of our biggest Brugmansias will have in excess of 250 flowers on each of them in late summer. This is thanks to our continual application of the naturally based liquid plant food ‘PlantGrow’. Produced here in Norfolk, the results volumes and are here to be seen, we also use this fabulous product for the pot plants that adorn the Orangery, never before have we had such an amazing amount of growth and colour.

“Never before have we had such an amazing amount of growth and colour.”

PlantGrow also make a soil conditioning mulch that we apply in early spring, this promotes strong, healthy growth, improves the quality of the soil and limits that amount of weed growth. We use PlantGrow mulch at various times of the year in large quantities. In short, we would not wish to be without PlantGrow for it makes our garden better than it has ever been.
