Beautiful spring gardens begin in autumn.
At Hove Gardens, we're offering a dedicated spring bulb planting service throughout November, helping homeowners across Brighton, Hove and the surrounding areas create beautiful displays of spring colour.
We've carefully selected a collection of tulips, narcissus, alliums and fritillaries, chosen for their exceptional colours, distinctive forms and ability to complement a wide range of garden styles.

Whether you'd like to brighten a small courtyard, introduce colour into established borders or create generous naturalistic displays, we can help you bring your garden to life.
