Although generally not the most costly part of a landscape project, plants are a significant investment in your outdoor living space or commercial development. For larger projects, the quantities required simply add up and for smaller gardens it is always worth to consider incorporating one or two special feature plants of a mature size for that instant look.
Which ever your case might be, it is not a good idea to pop down the local nursery to see what they might have. Retail nurseries cater to a different market, they carry a bit of everything as well as stock that looks good in the current season, the so called ‘impulse buys’. There is also that nebulous term ‘landscape quality’ which refers to plants of inferior quality.
To purchase plants for your professionally designed landscape project is an entirely different matter. GARDEN EXPRESSIONS has many years of experience in the horticultural industry and will only purchase your plants from specialist wholesale growers. Plants for a project are often sourced from 7 or 8 specialists. We buy directly so we can offer you the BEST QUALITY at the BEST PRICES. Should a particular species not be available we can make suitable substitutions with your design in mind or take advantage of stock that might be looking fantastic at the time.

FIND THAT UNUSUAL PLANT. TOPIARY ON STEROIDS! A VISIT TO A NURSERY IN PROVENCE.
On my recent trip to France, I had the opportunity to visit a nursery in Provence. As the photos show, some amazing feature plants can be bought ‘off the shelf’ and at surprisingly low prices. I would love to get my hands on some of these specimens! The skill that has gone into shaping these plants is impressive. Producing plants for a vast and demanding market in Europe is a highly skilled profession which requires qualified labour.
There are some exceptionally good nurseries in Australia, but it is still not easy to access more unusual stock such as shown in these photos. Through our network of suppliers, GARDEN EXPRESSIONS can help you to find that special plant!
