Well hopefully you have all survived the winter and are now gearing up ready to start another wonderful year of gardening. We have been busy growing lots of Perennials and started planting our basket and container plants last week. We are now open Mon - Sat 10am - 4pm and once April is here we will be open 7 days a week, so lots of opportunities to stock up on plants for your garden or patio.
Delivery Service Ending
NEWS - DELIVERY IS ENDING
As our community starts its return to some form of new normal post pandemic, so are we. This means that as of 2nd April 2022 our delivery service will finish as we return to business as usual at the nursery.
Even though our delivery service is ending the great news is we are now open 7 days a week 10am - 4pm so please come down and see us - we have so many new products to show you!
Our website will still have information regarding our plants and garden accessories and we’ll be posting some tips and tricks along the way. And we will of cause be keeping our social media platforms up to date.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our amazing customers - both new and existing for your support over the last 2 years and we look forward to seeing you all down at the nursery.
If you are elderly or in a vulnerable category and unable to visit please get in touch with us and we may still be able to deliver if you are local to Knutsford.

We are now open 7 days Monday - Sunday 10am - 4pm Until the end of June.
We are now in full swing, planting all your lovely basket and container plants, Surfinia, Diascia, Verbena and Bacopa just to name a few. We have already planted several batches of Perennials like Lupins, Delphiniums and Digitalis etc. To be able to view our full range of plants, we highly recommend that you visit us at the nursery, especially now that were open 7 Days..
We look forward to meeting you.
Online Stock
We thought we’d give a little update on our stock availability on our online shop.
Our online shop is only a small selection of what we actually have available at our nursery. We pride ourselves on providing a little variety and choice on our online shop for those who may be unable to reach us at the nursery.
However, for those wanting vast variety and the ability to choose their own mixes from our full selection of perennials, basket and container plants and bedding we would always recommend popping over to our nursery for a visit. You’ll get the opportunity to meet one of the team here at T&S and browse at your leisure.
We grow in batches so our stock often fluctuates throughout the season so be sure to visit us at different times to get different choice.
If you have any queries please feel free to get in touch.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
What a rollercoaster 2020 turned out to be! We would like to send out a heart felt thank you to all of our amazing customers (new and existing) for their support throughout the seasons last year. We really could not have got through the year without you all and to see how much our plants brought a little bit of cheer through those tough times really does mean the absolute world to us.
So after a much needed break, we are back, ready to do it all over again. We’re in the process of updating our online shop with our stock details so keep an eye out. We have some really exciting new additions this year which we are certain you’re going to love. Watch this space!
Wishing you all good health and happiness throughout 2021.

Temporary Road Closure - Sudlow Lane
Dear customers,
You may have noticed the road closure press about Sudlow lane entrance off Northwich Road. This road closure was due from the 5th October and to open March 2021. The road is still actually open with no closure signs displayed yet so access is still fine and we don’t know yet when the closure will happen.
We are working with Redrow Homes, Chandos Civils and Cheshire East Highways to ensure this proposed closure does not neglect the needs and critical requirements of our local business and we will keep our customers up to date with our progress.
Once the road is closed the diversion route to take to our nursery is off Pinfold Lane, via Plumley Moor Road. This can be accessed from either the A556 or B5081 (highway diversion signs will be in place). Our nursery is sign posted T&S Riley.
We also have our delivery service which will remain in operation.
Thank you again for your support.

Autumn Season is Here!
It’s a new season here at T&S and we’ve been busy over the last month preparing for one of our favourite times of year - the Autumn! This season offers stunning, natural beauty where the trees slowly start to turn the most beautiful array of colours and the weather has that little nip in the air during the evenings but we usually get lucky with a bit of warm weather during the days of September, and dry days during October before the frosts return in early November.
Now is the perfect time to plan your winter garden and get those plants in now in warm soil to get them nice and established. This will give you every opportunity to keep those flowers going long in to Spring next year.
An example of what we have available now on our online shop and over at our Nursery:
Pansies
Trailing pansies (in the next week)
Violas
Cyclamen
Wallflowers
Ivies
Dianthus
Polyanthus
Adjuga
Thyme
Lamium
And a great selection of pre-made winter hanging baskets!
Come on down or shop online here:
STOCK UPDATE
As we gear up for the next stage of the summer season, our summer basket and container plants are now largely sold out and have been removed from our online shop - but rest assured all will be returning next year. Non Stop and Illumination Begonias, Geraniums and 6-pack Bedding are still available to purchase whilst stocks last.
We also have a large selection of ready made hanging baskets and containers up for sale for those who still want to add instant colour to gardens.
We are now also heading into the summer perennial season, with a vast selection of perennials on offer that will give a lovely mix of height, colour, scent, density and ground cover that will come back year on year. The majority of our add on items such as compost, moss, canes, feed, insecticides etc are still available in our deals and add on shop.
If you have any queries regarding stock and any surplus stock availability please feel free to get in touch here:
