Landcare Catalogue for 2014-15
The catalogue has prices shown with VAT inclusive at time of going to press. Our website will have changes in stock and prices regularly updated throughout the year. We will use the website to bring you up to date stock of rootball and specimen plants as they arrive in the nursery. Ask about our horticultural trade accounts.
About Landcare
Landcare is an independent traditional nursery occupying an 8 acre site growing and caring for plants. We sell to the General Public, Landscapers and Garden Designers. We aim to provide healthy high quality plants, which we source from a number of growers or from our own field and nursery stock.
We supply a wide range of trees and shrubs in containers, root balls or as bare root according to the season. We specialise in quality plants for hedging and trees up to 4m in height.
We have a selection of herbaceous perennials, conifers, climbers and wildflowers. We are always making additions to our range of container grown plants. If you cannot see the plant you want in this catalogue, please ask as it may be available from our regular suppliers.
