JB  Almost Organic   Plants

 

JB Almost Organic plants is based in the Smithills/Heaton area of Bolton and provides plants raised in my own garden. 

 

No artificial fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides or peat are used in my garden.  So where does the Almost come from.  Well potted up plants are grown on  using a commercial peat free compost,  but it does have added nutrients.  so not quite organic yet

 

As this is my first year of operation I have only a fairly small number of plants available but if successful this year I hope to have a lot more next year

 

I don't have a nursery so if you are interested in any plants please give me a ring or email me.  You can then either come round to look at the selection of plants or if you are local I can bring a selection round to you.
To contact me please ring (evenings and weekends)
