All plants are grown to Allensmore’s exacting quality standards and crops are regularly inspected by them throughout the growing and dispatch processes.

To meet the increased demand for their Italian collections, Allensmore are extending their external holding areas at their Madley, Herefordshire site, including installing a new docking bay to more efficiently load and unload trucks, and have refurbished their 1 acre indoor holding and order assembly facilities.

Commenting on their new ranges, Allensmore MD, Mark Taylor, said: “Consumers still require structural and decorative plants for their gardens and we are able to fulfil this demand with our Italian Specimen Plant collections."

Their Italian plant collections are supplied with free large inspiring correx boards and matching labels, all designed by their marketing expert Rick McKeever, their Showpiece Shrubs make a spectacular display in any garden centre.

Due to high demand, Allensmore have decided to extend their customer open days until the end of March. This is an opportunity for retailers to visit their nurseries, view their ranges for themselves and even select the exact plants they want. Customers can book the day and time for a visit to suit them by contacting their sales office or their local Allensmore Sales Manager.
