Hello,

I run a small gardening club for parents and children at a local children's centre.  We meet fortnightly in the winter months and weekly through the rest of the year.  Due to our success (we had a record 45 in attendance today!) We are expanding our kit. 

I am trying to find one place where I can order as much as possible online.  In the past I have had to schlep to the allotment shed, garden centre, local poundland to pick up supplies.  We are going to be putting together some small raised beds, a mini polytunnel and several large containers for flowers. 

Any recommendations for one company that can offer kit, seeds, potatoes, trees, shrubs etc all under one roof.  I am only paid 2 hours a week and the rest of my time is voluntary so I want to try to minimise as much admin or running around as possible. 

In case you were wondering I have used most of the major suppliers for one thing or another but not all under one roof so any recommendations or aversions would be helpful. 

Thanks.  :)

These do quite a few things but no trees: http://www.garden4less.co.uk/

That might help a bit
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.
