30 Years of Supplying Quality Plants

Welcome to Plants Direct Garden Centre, Hertfordshire

Plants Direct is a family run Garden Centre in Hertfordshire supplying the public with quality plants grown in our nurseries, including high quality roses and our award-winning hanging baskets; all at very reasonable prices.


We specialise in bedding and patio plants, herbaceous perennials, herbs, climbers, shrubs, alpines, and fruit. We also stock trees, conifers, heathers, and larger specimen plants sourced from around the country.

Our garden centre is situated between Radlett and Watford with a customer base in Hertfordshire and North London. We produce the majority of our plants in our nurseries, ensuring our plants are sustainably sourced. Other plants not from the nurseries are carefully sourced and selected from our associate nurseries.


Wherever possible, Plants Direct Garden Centre uses reduced peat compost and minimises chemical pesticide and fertiliser input, utilising organic fertilisers such as Maxicrop and natural pest control.


We are a member of the Horticultural Trade Association (HTA).

We sell and accept National Garden Gift Cards.

Summer 2026

After a very mixed weather start to the year (Jan-Feb torrential rain, Mar-April dry and cold, May scorching hot and June wet and windy) below are jobs to be done in the garden:

  • Regular watering in the cooler parts of the day, aiming the water to the soil not the foliage
  • Routine feeding of plants with liquid feed or slow release granules
  • Dead head flowers as they die off to encourage new bud growth
  • Stake tall plants to protect from wind damage
  • Mulch around plants with manure or bark to retain moisture
  • Keep weeds under control by strimming or hoeing or if stubborn weeds use a weed killer
  • Reseed bald patches in your lawn but keep well watered during germination and establishment
