Seasons Greetings from We are a new ‘true’ virtual garden centre featuring all the usual products and plants an ordinary store and nursery stocks, as well as some more unusual ones. Like all garden centres we are big on everything related to Christmas and the festive season too. Behind Potter & Rest is a team of talented award-winning horticultural and Christmas experts. I’m Peter Burks, the immediate past Chairman of the Garden Centre Association, and I have been running garden centres at directorial and managerial level for more than 30 years. I have a degree in horticulture from the University of Bath and provide all the gardening advice for the site. Our aim is to be the largest true garden centre online with free expert advice available to gardeners via telephone and social media backed by a five-year plant guarantee. We have a ‘no quibble’ guarantee on all products and if anyone is not happy they will get their money back. There is an emphasis on British grown plants and products wherever possible. And if anyone is too busy to shop themselves, we provide an online personal shopper service too. You can find us at www.potterandrest.co.uk. Our Christmas stock will be uploaded in October but is available now for the media. Thank you for browsing through our Christmas 2014 look book. Best wishes for the festive season and beyond!
Featured on the front cover is a selection of baubles and decorations from our 2014 range.
O Christmas tree
The modern lyrics for the tune ‘O Tannenbaum’ were written in 1824 and don’t refer to a Christmas tree but to the evergreen fir’s qualities as a symbol of constancy and faithfulness. With quality our constant, we stock a comprehensive range of real and faux Christmas trees of all styles and sizes. Our artificial trees are so realistic you might even fool your friends, they come in various sizes from 5ft. Prices from £149.99
To crown your tree we stock a variety of tree toppers from angels to stars,
prices from £4.99.
