Royal Approval for Lancashire Gardening Company
Lancashire based Greenhouse Sensation have received the royal seal of
approval for their gardening products just weeks after securing distribution in
Europe and winning a product award.
The Greenhouse Sensation team exhibited at The Edible Garden Show on
28th – 30th March and their stand was chosen for a visit
by Camilla Parker-Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall. Camilla said that she wanted to
buy one of the company’s self-watering Chilligrow chilli planters for her son, food writer
and restaurant critic Tom Parker-Bowles because he loves chillies but forgets
to water them.
Greenhouse Sensation’s Chilligrow keeps chillies perfectly fed and
watered for several days at a time without ever sitting the roots in water, so
when Tom returns from trips reviewing restaurants his chillies won’t be wilting
with thirst.
The Royal meeting came after an exciting few weeks for Greenhouse
Sensation as they also secured distribution with retailers in Denmark and
Germany, and gardening magazine ‘Grow Your Own’ named the company’s Nutrigrowthe best feed for veg plants.
Greenhouse Sensation is a small company with big ambitions. Revenue
has grown by almost 50% over the past 12months. The company has a larger Facebook community than any of its competitors
and is renowned in the gardening community for its outstanding levels of
service. A quick look at the 1,500+ reviews on Greenhouse Sensation’s website
and Facebook page shows that this is a company that generates a passionate
loyalty amongst its customers.
Commercial Director Emma Lowther –Wright said that the secret behind
the growth is a team committed to delighting customers with superb quality
products and friendly, knowledgeable service. She explained: “Our aim to
delight customers informs everything we do from developing product concepts and
designing website pages to selecting the right courier.”
The company designs and makes its planters, propagators and irrigation
kits in Skelmersdale and also sells a wider range of gardening equipment and gifts
on its website. It has become one of the most popular websites for people
searching for gardening gifts.
