WILTSHIRE GARDEN CENTRES

Wiltshire is based principally on a chalk soil which is poor in nutrients. Plants grown in and for Wiltshire garden centres therefore concentrate on varieties which enjoy those conditions.

Many herbs do very well on a chalk soil including lavender, bay trees, and fennel. Chalk is also poor at retaining water, which makes it very suitable for these herbs. Other plants which do well are rudbeckias, cornflowers, poppies and lisianthus.
