Quality, Locally Grown Annuals

Locally Grown, Locally Owned, Locally Lovely

"Locally Grown" means better plants for many reasons. It takes energy and time for plants to adapt to their environment, which means that if a plant is started in a similar environment as its final destination, it spends less energy acclimating to new environmental variables. In the end, less energy spent on adapting means more energy spent on growing, flowering, and reproducing, leading to a bigger, better plant. It is also true that the closer a plant is grown to its end destination, the less distance it has to be shipped, and the less time it has to spend outside natural daylight. Since plants require daylight to survive, it makes sense that a shorter travel distance means a better plant. At Hart's Greenhouse we grow 99% of our own annuals at our growing facility located in Canterbury, less than 10 miles from our furthest retail location, our Norwich store. Hart's Greenhouse is also a locally owned family business that cares about the quality of product and service our customers receive. For that reason, owners and managers hand-select only the most beautiful of the plants we grow to be sent to our retail locations to ensure a high quality plant at peak season.
