Hambrooks on Houseplants
Houseplants have come into and gone out of fashion many times over the years, and the plants we choose to grow has changed too. Here is our general guide to choosing the right plant for you.
Hambrooks support local Search & Rescue Team
The team at Hambrooks are delighted to support the life-saving work of HM Coastguard by donating two large planters to their base at Solent Airport Daedalus. The planters will provide some welcome cheer to greet everyone arriving at the building.
Open to a charity request
Hambrooks were pleased to help out local charity, Open Sight, with a very special gardening-related request.
A career in the landscape
Sam studied Uniformed Public services at college, with a view to joining the Police when he left. However, at just 18, he was told he’d need more life experience before he would be considered. Looking around for ways to get that experience, he found an apprenticeship at Hambrooks, a horticulture and landscaping business. In the ten years since then, Sam has realised that perhaps this was what he was meant to do all along. He tells us his story.

Our colleague Sam went to learn more about wildflower turf and how it’s great for people, for gardens and for wildlife.
