Introduction

August 2008 - It's almost a year since our Website went live and we have been amazed by the response we have received. Due to the amazing response we are working really hard taking scented geranium cuttings and growing on to increase our Parent Stock in readiness for next Spring. Our present stock of over 40 different cultivars currently stands at well in excess of 2000 and the number is increasing on a weekly basis. We are currently trialling several scented geraniums that we are hoping to introduce into our 2009 Catalogue and we'll write an article when we are happy with their performance.

www.scentedgeraniums.co.uk. is the internet division of Hill Foot Plants Nursery. We are a small privately owned nursery and we are based near Dungiven in Northern Ireland, UK. We grow lots of different types of plants here including perennials, shrubs and roses and we are gradually adding different categories to our website, as we shall offer some different plants via post. As far as possible we do grow organically and for our personal use we do grow most of our own vegetables and herbs. Shortly we shall be offering organic seed for sale and many will be old fashioned Heirloom varieties that a lot of passionate gardeners across the World are helping to save from extinction.

It's a busy time of the year for us right now and we shall try and post some regular articles. If there's any aspect of scented geraniums that you'd like to read more about please let us know and we'll try and cover it.

Regards to all and thank you for your support.
