Christmas 2016 Look Book
A Christmas to remember… Like all garden centres, we are big on the festivities and we’re delighted to present to you our Christmas 2016 decorating trends. Behind Potter & Rest is a team of talented award-winning horticultural and Christmas experts including Peter Burks, a past Chairman of the national Garden Centre Association. He has been running garden centres at a directorial and managerial level for more than 30 years. Peter has a degree in horticulture from the University of Bath and provides all the gardening expertise for the site. Our aim is to be the largest true garden centre online with free expert advice available to gardeners via telephone, email and social media, backed by a five-year hardy plant guarantee. We have a ‘no quibble’ policy on all products and if you are not happy you will simply get your money back. There is an emphasis on British grown plants and products wherever possible. We also offer a free ‘search and find’ service for anyone looking for a plant or product they can’t find elsewhere. And if you’re too busy to shop for yourself, we provide an online personal shopper service too. You can find us at www.potterandrest.co.uk. Our Christmas stock goes online from October 10, 2016. Thank you.

The scent of Christmas
The items featured on this page are from our 2016 range.
We take great pride in stocking only the best cut and potted trees. Each is hand pruned and individually assessed by our experts to ensure it meets our exacting standards. Once again this season, a good selection of top quality, real, British-grown Christmas trees will be available from us. The Norway Spruce is the traditional tree of choice as it provides a distinctive festive scent to any home but the Nordman, Noble and Fraser Firs are the ultimate in Christmas trees. Their luxury, proportioned looks and feel make them second to none. They also have little needle drop. Nordman Fir trees bear lush green foliage and strong branches, well suited to heavier decorations. Needle drop is minimal and they can be fairly broad, so you need plenty of space to show them off to maximum effect. Blue Spruce are similar to the Norway Spruce with the bonus of being a fantastic bright silvery blue colour. They have a slightly better needle retention than their green equivalent. Want to get all the best advice on how to select and care for your real Christmas tree this year? Why not get in touch with us and you will receive free tips. Our gurus can give handy hints on how to improve air circulation, preventing the tree from overheating in the middle and avoiding needle loss. We also offer a variety of decorations and lights to create the perfect look.
Celebrate a contemporary Christmas with modern folk art, paper crafts and vibrant colours with a touch of the outdoors for good measure. Think good cheer and kitsch. Be bold, bright and daring.
