If you are hoping to get your garden looking its best throughout the winter months, a Shropshire plant nursery could help, as it is gearing up for a huge end-of-season sale.
Boningale Nurseries on Holyhead Road, Albrighton, normally caters only to trade customers, but once a year, stages a massive end-of-season sale, when it sells off a huge range of shrubs, perennials and trees to members of the public.
Half of the profits from the sale on Saturday, September 10, are to be donated to the Mary Stevens Hospice in Stourbridge – which staff at the nursery chose to support.
The hospice provides specialist palliative care to people in Dudley, as well as residents from South Staffordshire, Wyre Forest, Hereford and Worcester and Sandwell.
Frank Sandford, sales director for Boningale, said staff are gearing up for a busy day after hundreds of people attended last year’s sale.
“This year’s event will be even bigger, as we have an even greater range on offer, including a number of our larger specimens, such as trees and big shrubs, which would normally only be available to our commercial customers,” he explained.
“As well as the plants, we will have lots of our staff on hand, including Andi Way, our designer and landscaping expert from Boningale Garden Creations, who will be able to advise customers on all gardening issues, from care of their plants to creating features in your garden.
“Prices are really reasonable – many perennials and shrubs will be £2.50, and trees and larger stock from £10, so there will be some fantastic bargains on offer.
“Half of the profits will be donated to the Mary Stevens Hospice in Stourbridge, which is an added incentive for all of us to make this a big success and sell as much stock as possible.”
Janet Jones, head of fundraising at the hospice, said: “We are most grateful for the support from Boningale during the last two years.
“They have raised much needed funds for Mary Stevens Hospice in a variety of ways, including entering a team in our popular Santa Jog last Christmas.
“I am sure the plant sale will be a great success and an ideal opportunity for garden lovers to grab a bargain.”
The sale takes place on September 10, from 8.30am until 4pm.
