Why buy from us?
Rowlinson Garden Products are a trade supplier, and don't sell direct to the public. As this potting shed / store has gained a lot of attention at the show, Rowlinson Garden Products have been kind enough to let us sell their products to the public in order to raise money to help fund Simply Gardening For Schools (a not for profit, community interest organisation.)
Buying from us will help us to continue to design and build gardens that will inspire childrens futures, help them to learn the joy of gardening, understand their environment, and develop in so many ways.
Remember - Every shed builds another raised bed!

The Showgarden build at the NEC
The build is underway, this is where the six months of careful planning all come together to create the end result we all envisaged. Everything has to happen on time, without fail, from equipment delivery to the building of the shed, benches, raised beds, the fencing, everything has to be painted, installed and ready for the crowning glory of the garden, the plants, and finaly the bright yellow shade sail.
