We’re so excited, here at Haskins, to be the first garden centre in the UK to offer a complete First Editions range – an exclusive collection of shrubs meticulously bred for maximum impact, with unrivalled beauty, that deliver confidence, exceptional garden performance & truly “envy-worthy” results.

 

Here are the highlights from our feature in HortWeek and Local Gardener.

 

What is First Editions?

Designed for the British climate, our range of First Editions features over 25 shrubs, promising a stunning and successful garden with their adaptability and unique characteristics. Each variety is carefully bred with unique features that provide year-round interest, ensuring your garden looks captivating in every season.    

These versatile shrubs provide the structural backbone for gardens of all styles, from formal designs to relaxed, natural settings. First Editions shrubs serve many purposes, including creating elegant hedges, providing effective ground cover, and showcasing ornamental features like colourful flowers, vibrant foliage, and eye-catching branches or berries. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these plants also play a vital role in providing shelter and food for wildlife.
