Loughview Garden Centre in Northern Ireland have introduced their own nursery with the aim of ensuring maximum plant quality for customers.
Over many years Loughview have had a reputation for having only top quality plants to offer their customers.
The centre has been working hard to extend the range of plants they produce ourselves from their own nursery. This year they will be producing nearly 90% of their own bedding plants, all their own herbs and vegetables and the majority of shrubs and cottage garden plants.
"We pay great attention to the quality of material we have on offer to our customers," said garden centre manager Paul Mallon.
"Having our own facilities to grow the vast majority of it ensures that little or no deterioration to the plants happens when they leave our premises, allowing us to keep a close eye on quality.
"Plants can literally leave our nursery one minute, move onto our shop floor and purchased that afternoon and planted by another happy customer."
Loughview Garden Centre is situated on the Shores of Lough Neagh, near Lurgan.
