Updates
October 2024
Tall late flowering perennials have become a bit of an obsession and this year`s display at Barnack has not disappointed. Some re-positioning will take place this Autumn as it has all got a bit too cramped and some plants have suffered as a result but still very pleased with the overall effect.

GARDEN DEVELOPMENT
One of the benefits of working in an environment through the seasons is that you acquire an understanding of the spirit of the garden. The more time spent carrying out important basic tasks allows you to experience the rhythms and idiosyncrasies that combine to create unique conditions in every space. Observing the natural elements and how they affect the growing conditions over a prolonged period enables us to make assessments and recommendations for developments to improve; individual or group positional planting, quality and variety of plant stock, planting plans and border design set within the context of the overall aesthetic.
Our customers trust us to innovate using our creativity and knowledge to realise the agreed vision for their garden.
PLANT SALES
One of life`s great pleasures is gathering seed and taking cuttings then nurturing that new growth into a flourishing plant. We aim to propagate and offer a small number of interesting perennials in a wide selection of varieties. Locally grown and initially offered exclusively to our customers before beginning sales to the public in Spring 2025.Proceeds will go towards renovation costs for the Stamford Signal Box.
