What Are British Grown Plants?

British grown plants are as it sounds, they’re plants grown here in Britain. This means they aren’t travelling hundreds or thousands of miles to get to us. Choosing British grown plants supports local horticulture and reduces environmental impact through the minimised transportation distances. British growers, like Plants4Presents, adhere to high standards of sustainability and environmental stewardship, contributing to the overall quality and health of their plants.

The Benefits of British Grown Plants

Supporting British horticulture is akin to supporting British farming—it's essential. Not only do British nurseries produce plants of unparalleled quality, but they are also at the forefront globally in transitioning away from peat usage.

Moreover, by sourcing locally, we minimise 'plant miles', ensuring a sustainable approach that benefits everyone involved. It's a win-win situation all around.

Our British Grown Plants

We offer a huge range of indoor and outdoor British grown plants from our own nursery in Sussex. Our cooler climate means that plants are more often slow-grown, giving them time to develop strong root systems which makes for a sturdier plant that will thrive for many years to come.

We've also been working with many of our partner nurseries for over 15 years now and all our clematis, roses, poinsettias and now many of our houseplants all come from great British growers.

Indoor British Grown Plants

Our British grown houseplants are grown to thrive in indoor environments, bringing the beauty of nature into your home. From retro-style cheese plants to the easy-to-care-for rubber plant, our indoor collection offers something for everyone.

Outdoor British Grown Plants

For a thriving garden, why not include the climbing black eyed Susan to liven up your fences or classic roses for a patio staple? Our outdoor British grown plants help you create a stunning garden whilst supporting local nurseries and ensuring sustainable gardening practices.

Peat-Free British Grown Plants

Peat-free British plants are becoming more and more popular as we’re starting to understand the effects of extracting peat from peatlands. Peat stores huge amounts of CO2 that, when drained or damaged, releases the gas into the atmosphere which exacerbates climate change. At Plants4Presents, we’re continuing to improve our carbon footprint by offering peat-free British grown plants.
