Seeds & Propagation – Poplar Nurseries – Garden Centre – Marks Tey, Colchester, Essex

Growing from seed is now more popular than ever. Firstly, because it is fun to watch the little seeds slowly emerge from the soil and, with some nurturing, watch them mature into full grown plants.

We have a large range to choose from and offer a selection from Thomson & Morgan. This includes their “Urban Garden” Collection and “Duchy Originals”. We also stock Suttons and Kings Seeds.

Propagation

To help grow your seeds successfully we stock a selection of propagators, heated and unheated. We have several different size seed and gravel trays and various pricking out pots and grow tubes. And any other accessories you may need from Greenhouse heaters and soil thermometers to labels and marker pens.
