Alpine Bowl Packages

 Whether you have seen our Alpine Bowls on Gardeners World Live, at a show like RHS Chelsea or on one of our Nursery events. You will instantly know of a perfect place for them within your garden.

Our aim is to make each bowl package tailor designed for your home. Our most popular designs are based on our more lush planting as you can see from Image 1. Although our classic alpine garden as seen in Image 2 made a comeback in 2018 and was very popular indeed.

 With each bowl you can select from three types of rock slate, yorkstone or sandstone (Image 2,3&4). Each one can then be top dressed with either slate chippings, fine gravel or alpine grit. Once you have made your selection we would ask you to please let us know the intended location at point of purchase. This is so we can select the plants suited for your area and aspect i.e shady/morning sun etc. If you have preferences on your plants or just a colour theme or dislikes you can let us know and we will add this into your selection.
