This is the Aladdin's cave of gardening where many of the necessities are found. You will find propagators and seed trays, sophisticated irrigation systems and watering cans, preservative timber treatments and colour wood stains - in essence everything needed to get on with active gardening. Then there is the wealth of useful gardening bits and pieces, the items kept in the shed that you never know when you will run out of. The list is too diverse to mention, but all of them help make gardening so much easier.

If you prefer to plan and contemplate your garden development, there is a particularly fine selection of books, both illustrative and technical, to assist you.
