finding our next hq!
originally a derelict barn, complete with four-acre field, it was love at first sight

barn conversion complete and our new (and current) hq was ready to move into

our company name and brand evolves over the years along with our extensive horticultural expertise and understanding

expertise which passes from one generation to the next

first company rebrand to i want plants and i want trees

i want trees (IWT) was a specialist division of i want plants creating instant gardens for private clients using 8m tall trees and hedges

We owe a lot of our large-scale plant handling knowledge to IWT and we still implement IWT methodology within our major live projects today

the i want plants team continues to grow - we may not all be related but our love for all things green always connects us

there's another bold pink company rebrand as we merge i want plants and i want trees together to form one simple and memorable company name and logo, i want plants

our HYVERT Living Wall System is launched
