Long post over my Sunday morning coffee 👇

People ask us- what's The Instant Garden Company all about? What makes it unique? What makes it different?
Well- it's hard to answer (mainly because we are really bad at blowing our own trumpets!) because every single thing we do, we put so much thought into, like;
How do we give you just the right amount of information, without it being overwhelming?
How do we make this really simple but still give you the best experience?
How do we choose the right plants and work against availability and seasons to give you a border that flowers for the longest time possible?
So it's probably the details that make us special, and the fact we genuinely care and want to give you the best plants, garden and experience. And we are constantly learning and growing, and that will never stop no matter how long we do this- and we hope that the end product speaks for itself!
At the end of the day, we are just two friends (plus our amazing partners!) giving it a go and trying to build something that we are proud of 🩷. If you haven't checked out our website yet, please do! We painstakingly made the border calculator code by code so need as many people to test it as possible (its on the Border Kits tab) and you can have a sneaky look at our prices 😉 I don't know how they are 50% plus cheaper than other similar companies- they probably shouldn't be 😅😅

Autumn is one of the smartest times to refresh perennial borders — soil still warm, more reliable rain, and plants root quickly before winter. Discover simple steps to revive tired borders and how our Border Configurator helps you plan the perfect mix for lasting structure and colour.

How's your grass looking? 🌱
We couldn't help snap these pictures last weekend at Rutland Flower Show.
Because everyone had been watering their plants and given the grass a little shade, anywhere a plant exhibit had been, lush green grass started growing!
We aren't serious grass lovers (much rather have a garden full of plants or clover) but hopefully this gives you some hope that your grass will grow!

On every leaf, tiny dew drops glisten like diamonds, while heavy, fragrant petals bow gently in gratitude. To breathe in the garden today is to witness a silent celebration: the first few drops of rain on our plants, in a while. And the world feels wonderfully alive.

Apologies...

We have been very quiet on social media lately! One of us is injured and one of us has been having a roarsome, sandy, thrilling time, filled with crazy golf, swimming and happy smiles all round!

Oh yes, just a flower show to get ready for now with child in tow and a man down 😅 🌼🌾

Clare started the morning *very* early with a trip to Newark Business Club, bringing along a great selection and example of our plants with a plan.

We provide many drought resistant plants in our borders, but new plants still need a bit of water until they are established. Have you perfected watering one handed whilst drinking your morning cuppa too?
