Crocus launched to the UK market in 2000 as the founders saw a gap in the market. Their aim was not just to have one of the widest ranges of plants possible, they also wanted to be known as the garden center that offers great advice week after week. Through hard work and dedication, the business has steadily grown and is now recognized as being able to offer the biggest selection of plants in the UK. It is worth noting that the company has always grown plants for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and they have won at least 25 gold medals for their efforts building gardens and planting their home-grown plants.
Despite the name, Crocus doesn’t sell just one type of plant. You’ll find an extensive array of plants on their stock list. The plant selection is accompanied by an impressive collection of bulbs although the business doesn’t sell seeds. But, if you are looking for perennials, herbs, climbers; shrubs, or grasses, amongst others, you are sure to find something you like. Alongside this, they have an excellent collection of outdoor living products, including furniture, garden ornaments, lighting, and even firepits. In short, anything you could need to enjoy and make your garden look beautiful.
Crocus has one garden center which is located at Dorney Court near Eton. Because it is sat in the grounds of the Dorney Court Estate is offers much more than just your typical garden center. You can enjoy a walk around the gardens before or after you see the impressive array of plants for sale. The site has friendly and helpful staff to ensure you find what you are looking for. It also offers a charming café that allows you to grab a coffee and a cake and take a moment to consider which plants you intend to buy. It’s more than a trip to a garden center, it’s an experience and worthwhile if you are in the area.
