They say the best things come in small packages. Our family run garden centre located in the Yorkshire Dales town of Settle is no exception. Founded in spring 2012 by the Lay family, our little 'pocket' garden centre sells beautiful plants, pots, gifts and all sorts of other gardening related wares the discerning gardener might need.
We also have a caf / coffee shop with great coffee. The genus salvia is one of the widest in the plant family with over 900 species worldwide, and one species or another is native across almost two thirds of the planet, including here in the UK. Salvia are also known as sages, with common sage, Salvia officinalis, being probably the best well known species through culinary uses, albeit many people wouldn't know it as a salvia at all.
