Why Choose Plants4Presents?

For over 20 years, we’ve been helping people mark life’s most important moments with living, long lasting gifts. Our plants are grown with care in our Sussex nursery and carefully packaged to arrive fresh, healthy, and gift-ready.

When it comes to a 40th birthday, we know how important it is to find a present that feels purposeful. That's why at our Sussex nursey, we are committed working with the natural environment rather than against it. The nursery is heated by a biomass boiler and our plants are watered with water sourced from our rainwater harvesting system. We use no nasty chemicals or pesticides, and our gifts are always wrapped and packed in fully recyclable materials.
