Always dreamt of that picture-perfect, English country manor box hedge with dense lush green foliage tightly clipped into the perfect topiaried shape? Perhaps used to separate your rose garden from the bowling green?

With the innovation of our premium instant buxus hedge you can have your dream hedge in a matter of days. Skip the years of clipping, training, feeding, watering...waiting.. for the box to slowly grow. Our experts in Belgium produce the finest buxus money can buy.

    Mycorrhizal Fungi and Your Plant

    This quick video will give you a better understanding of what Mycorrhizal Fungi is and how it can help your plant. This remarkable symbiotic relationship will work wonders for your garden.

    How Does It Work?

    Once joined with the plant this fungi will travel through the soil creating a truly massive root system. This 'hybrid' root system is highly efficient at finding nutrients from places where a plant's root cannot travel, releasing soil bound chemicals, including those from our trusted fertilisers, and transporting these back to its partner, a beneficial relationship that will persist throughout the life of the plant. A healthy plant with an established root system in a functional soil needs less intervention, chemical or physical.
