The family to help you bloom all year long

Another late night shopping!!!

Some of you may remember, that when we did our annual pilgrimage to a trade show in January, we hinted at the citrus trees we had available, well now we have dropped the hammer and pulled them into stock! Just look at the size and quality of those that are growing!!! Available in 2 sizes, I’m sure that you will agree when I say that home grown never tasted, smelled or looked as good, now do I make a Gin or 2, or do I have something sweeter with a cheesecake?!!!

As the days are getting longer and the weather is trying its best to get better, there is no doubt that your garden is growing and showing life (as it should be now!). With that in mind, look at these beauties as they are just starting to flower and a great addition to any garden!

It’s non stop this morning, I feel like I’ve been chasing my tail!!! Not only have we had some fresh pot and pack Pansy, Primula and Viola delivered, we have also got our first crop of veg and strawberry plants. Nothing beats home grown!!!

Fresher than morning dew in the middle of spring, these Photinia, Goldcrest and Heathers will add colour and that finishing touch to your beds, borders or even pots!

Don’t forget, Mother’s Day tomorrow guys!!!

Meet the new security team leader at HQ!!!

Boss Man’s done something special here! An alternative to Buxus, here at HQ, we have sourced something a little bit different, Ilex Crenata to be precise! These grow just the same as Buxus, nice glossy leaves, tight in growth and evergreen, the bonus is that they grow faster! We have them in both the green and the golden gem variety, now the only thing that you have to decide is where and how many do you need!!!

Despite the weather we have had recently, we still strive to bring you the best! These LIVING Willow are another example! But what a lot of people don’t know or is common knowledge, is that each one is hand woven!

Not a rain cloud in sight… hopefully I can put the waders away today!!!

Over the years we have done many deliveries to customers, whether it be to their homes or places of work. Every so often, one property will always stand out, it may be for the location, products delivered or just simply they were nice people to work with! On this occasion however, Chris and Alison fell into all of the above! Last year, HQ supplied them with a combination of LARGE Bay standards, Buxus hedging and Hydrangea Annabelle. The brief was to give their entrance walkway that wow factor, and judging by the pictures that Alison has provided, I think we have achieved!!! If you have any similar requirements, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!!!

It’s time for a well deserved lunch after displaying all the new stock that is fresh in this morning!

It seems that with the cost of living increases that we are all facing, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but here at Chana Store HQ, we love to give back to all our customers old and new! Yet again, we have managed to secure pot Primrose, 1l Narcis and 20 pack bedding at the same prices they were 5 years ago! That’s only 60p for the Primrose, £2.00 for the Narcis and £3.50 for the 20 pack bedding!!! Even we don’t know how we have managed to do it, but we have, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OFFER, you will kick yourself 🤣🤣🎉

I didn’t get chance to post this last night, but we have something special for you, keep your eyes peeled for when we open out!

The first of our NEW RANGE of pots has arrived!!! You would be mad to miss out as some of the range has some one off discounts which may never be seen again, don’t be the last one without that perfect pot!!!

To continue the encyclopaedic buy in!, we have even something for the Topiary lovers out there! Alongside our HUGE RANGE of the Buxus, Ilex, Taxus and Bay Laural, we have these beauties for you to salivate over!!!

Let the games BEGIN!!! More new products delivered this week, get them before they go!!!

What am I going to do… even the stafff want carrying now🤣🤣🤣

And these!!!

Continuing with our huge buy in, we have gone Magnolia MAD (and I don’t mean the paint shade!), feast your eyes on these!

Now that all the bad weather is (hopefully!) behind us, let’s concentrate on now and the future! We still haven’t finished our photo spam of all the new catalogue of stock we bought in, but here is a some of the latest additions this morning!

Dear all, due to the uncertainty in today’s weather, will it or won’t it snow, we have taken the hard decision to remain closed just in case we do suffer the severe snow that has been predicted. Hopefully we will be open tomorrow as normal! See you soon as we have lots of fresh stock in that you won’t want to miss! The Chana Store Team!

Despite the weather being worse than stubbing your toe on the corner of the bed!, we still want to give you that ultimate choice when visiting Chana Store! Boss Man and his dedicated team have been busy sourcing the very best and today is a BIG FIRST for Chana Store! As well as our huge range of Buxus topiary, we now have in stock David Austin Roses. All in 6l pots and in a range of varieties, the Best just got Better!!!

Day 2, part 2!!!

Day 2 of photo spamming, with a lot more to come!

Part 2 of today’s instalment!

I hate to say this, but what you are about to see over the next coming days may (or will most definitely!) have a direct impact on: 1, Your well being, 2, The aesthetics of your outdoor space, AND 3, Your finances (4, Hopefully not your relationship with your partner!!!) We have been promising for a few days now that you will get the chance to see what our 2024 range looks like, well here is the first (of many!), instalment of what you can expect!

This will be the first post of many, you may get excited or you may get bored, but one thing is for certain, you will want to make sure that you have at least one plant from our HUGE BUY IN, in your garden!!!

Yesterday was one of those days where it would have been easier to shower outside!!!, but it did give us chance to do another nursery visit, and again we came back with some goodies! Some of you may remember that we were able to source and sell 20pack Pansy and Viola for £3.50 per pack last year, well, don’t ask how but we have managed to do it again, we have held the price for this year, BUT, once they go, THATS IT!!!

Fresh in this morning and with enough colour to melt away even the darkest of days!!!

Another one just in, I will warn you all though, be prepared for the ultimate photo spam when it comes to showcasing, we have A LOT of new and exciting products to go through!!!

We often get asked if we can source larger plants for hedging, this is just an example which is going out to the customer in the morning, they have just been delivered too!!! Prunus Rotundifolia at 8ft tall nice and bushy!!! Please call with your requirements!!!

Even though we were not open today, it was still a working day, we took the opportunity to do a nursery visit to collect some trees, overall a very productive day!

Dear all, due to the severe wind conditions today, we will be closed, Boss Man and myself have been out from early and it hasn’t changed, for everyone’s safety, please accept our sincere apologies, but hopefully we will be open tomorrow as normal! The Chana Store Team

The first of our deliveries from the BIG BUY IN we did on Monday has arrived! We have been busy pricing up today and hopefully have everything out on display by the end of the weekend, but here’s just a little teaser!

Dear all, apologies for the inconvenience but we will be closed today but open as normal tomorrow due to the frosty conditions, just for everyone’s safety, Boss Man has made the decision just for everyone’s safety. Apologies again The Chana Store Team

Even more photos!!!

More photos!

Some of you may have seen or read that we were closed yesterday, but it was for a good cause! We had a trade event where we can fore mostly see what is new in the plant world!, but most importantly place our first major order for the coming season!!! Here’s just a little teaser as to what you can expect to see within the coming weeks!more photos will follow!

I said we would have more coming!!! Delivery no 2!

The deliveries have started, here’s a sneak peek!!!

Hopefully we have all gotten over the festivities of Christmas with as little damage as possible, it’s now time to start thinking and planning for the growing season and those jobs which you promised that you would start in the new year! For those of you that are planning on that new hedge, now is the time to start , with bare root, rootball and potted hedging all available, please get in touch with your requirements (we can even supply a finished hedge if you’re budget allows!). If you need a site visit, we can arrange that too! Get in touch now!!!

WE ARE OPEN 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 We trust that you have had an excellent break spending time with loved ones over the Christmas period, but now it’s time to power through the last of the hangovers, bin that last bit of turkey that keeps hanging around and dust off your garden gear, because it’s a new year which means fresh plants!!!!! We have some treats coming so keep your eyes peeled as the first of our fresh stock deliveries is landing very soon (Tuesday!). Now all you have to do is get yourself here (after Tuesday!!!).

Before all the lines get jammed, food gets eaten, drinks get drunk and fireworks get lit, from Boss Man, Boss Lady and the whole team here at Chana Store HQ, we would like to thank you and wish you ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🥳 Let’s make 2024 a better, more memorable year!

Dear All!, You may have noticed that we have been closed recently but DON’T WORRY! Everything is ok, due to the nature of the Christmas season we have had, we have sold out sooner than expected, and for this reason, we have decided that we are taking our Christmas break sooner! We would like to also take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you, all the team and our second to none supplier network for your continued help and support during this last year, without all of you, we couldn’t do what we do! So, from Boss Man, Boss Lady and the whole team here at Chana Store HQ, we would like to wish you all, a Happy Christmas! Let’s bring in the New Year with a bang, surrounded with our loved ones, and let’s make it a year that puts all the others to shame!!! Love to all and see you soon, Chana Store HQ

Come on guys!!!! Don’t be that one person who misses out, we only have a few trees, wreaths and mistletoe bunches left, you will kick yourself if you don’t get in soon!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

This is a Public Service Announcement from Boss Man’s apprentices!, they want to warn you that these are the last few remaining Trees and Wreaths, we will NOT be buying any more in. Please, please don’t leave it too late as they have already started going this morning, it will be another 345 days before they come back in stock!!!

WARNING !!! These wreaths have just arrived but are already going out, don’t leave it too long, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED 🤣

Boss Man in his element, ordering for the new season, keep your eyes peeled for the new arrivals!!!

My wreath lady hates us here at Chana Store HQ, not only had she delivered to me on Saturday morning, but in the afternoon I was pestering her again for another delivery! She made us wait as she had to make more, but they are here this morning!, she has even treated us to some fresh designs! Get them while you can, as I have a feeling she may strangle me soon!!!

Christmas is that time of year where anything can happen, dreams can come true, you get that much wanted family time or if you’re single, you finally get with that person you have been making magic eyes with for that last 6 months!!! Either way, we can help!, fresh in this morning we have living mistletoe, all ready trimmed into bunches so all you have to do is to decide where to hang it!!! We also have these cute table decorations, there to give any house that something extra when the whole family is together!!!

It’s cold, but Boss Mans little helpers have been out working hard this morning!!!

Boss Mans been busy this morning with his little helpers!!!

Pinch, Punch, it’s the 1st of Christmas Month!!! It’s official, now is the time to get all your Christmas decorations, presents and food ready, and what better way to start than to have the perfect Tree and Wreath!!! Boss Man’s got you covered so that’s one less stress, now all you have to do is decide which one you want and (in our household case!) who’s doing the washing up on Christmas Day!!! Here are some prices for you! Wreath Selection Fruit and Bauble £25.00 Frosted berry £20.00 Medium Holly £15.00 Small Holly £10.00 With the trees, work on label colour, the different colour just signifies the height difference! Grey, 7-8ft £65.00 Red, 6-7ft £50.00 Orange, 5-6ft £40.00 Green, 4-5ft £30.00 Pink, 3-4ft £25.00 Fraser Fir £50.00 If you need any more help, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!!!!

🔥🔥🔥HOT FROM THE WEAVING TABLE🔥🔥🔥 Just in, our fresh batch of Christmas Wreaths, take note of the new frosted berry design, as history will show if you procrastinate for too long, you WILL miss out!!!

With all the important decisions that a you have to make at this time of year, one which will always be at the top of the list is making sure that you have the best tree for your space (or presents depending on how you look at it!!!). This is why here at Chana Store we pride ourselves in the the fact that we will open EVERY TREE individually and MAKE SURE that the tree you choose is the one you have. Many places won’t do this, so it begs the question, what are you actually buying and how good a shape is it??? And the best bit, we WILL re-net the tree so that you can take it away easily (Boss Man still thinks that he’s the best at doing this, but we all know that I am!!!), you don’t want to damage that perfect tree do you?!!!

Fresh in this morning!!!

What’s the best accompaniment to the perfect tree…? The perfect wreath and we have you covered there too!!!

It’s that time of year again and this year, I have to admit, we have the best we have ever had! No festive season would be complete without the best tree, and here we have them, and the best bit, most of them come blocked so you won’t have that worry of making sure it fits in the stand and is it secure!!! All our Christmas Trees are premium grade Nordman Spruce, their needle retention is brilliant and we can honestly say, the vast majority of our trees are grown here in Yorkshire! The only thing left for you to do is to rearrange your room to make space for the perfect tree!!!

Yes we have to admit that it is slightly doom and gloom when we look out our windows today, but DON’T let that stop you from adding that splash of sunshine with these vibrant colours, guaranteed to put that smile back on your face!!!

For all those big jobs that you have been putting back, now is the time! Rootball and bare root is now readily available, take advantage as you will save buying this way but be warned, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP ONCE YOU SEE OUR QUALITY!!!

Dear all, apologies but due to the weather warning, and everybody’s safety, we will be closed today, and closed tomorrow due to family commitments but open from Wednesday as normal. Apologies again for any inconvenience this may cause, but your safety is our priority! Regards The Chana Store Team

Happy Diwali everyone!!! Wishing you all the best in this special day, The Chana Store team!

A start to the day like this is all the wake up you need to tell you that, today will be a good day…!

A lot of you have been delaying because of the weather, but fear no more!!! This weekend looks to be good, so what better way to spend it than in your garden, RIPPING OUT THE OLD AND PLANTING WITH THE NEW!!! Fresh Pansy, Trailing Pansy and Bellis Daisy all in stock now but you know we always have a few more surprises for you!!!

Dear all, Apologies (but not many!!!), we will be closed this weekend due to the kids half term, but open again from Monday as normal. They have had to keep themselves amused for the last three days (and if you are a parent of young kids, you know that equates to them nearly killing each other and we as the parents nearly pulling out all our hair!!!), so for today and tomorrow we will be referee/keeping them busy!!! See you soon The Chana Store team!

“If your happy and you know it buy some plants, If your happy and you know it buy some plants, If your happy and you know it, and you really want to show it, If your happy and you know it buy some plants!!!

I’m just going to leave these here for you to salivate over !

Despite this HORRIFIC weather, here at HQ, we still like to make sure that we have the freshest quality and today is DEFINITELY NO EXCEPTION!!! Fresh in this morning we managed to secure these Super Value Hanging Chelsea Pots (I still have to attach the hangers!!!), to add that splash of colour, and the best bit… THEY ARE ONLY £5.00 each, but beware, once they go, we can not get anymore. Don’t worry if you miss them though, just look at the mixed wicker baskets, available in 2 sizes and they would definitely look pride of place once hung! But, WE HAVE MORE!, Pack Wall Flower, Viola and Pansy all looking brilliant and for the first time since we can’t remember, Single Pot Silver Leaf, don’t be the last one here or you will miss out!!!

For all the down side that’s associated with this time of year, you have to agree that it too brings out some stunning colours in your garden, like this weeping Acer Palmatum for example, I think you would agree that the deep orange is just on another level!!!

With winter on its way, we all deserve that little bit of colour to make us feel happy!!!

Dear all, Apologies but we will be closed today and open again tomorrow as normal as Boss Man decided that we all need a family day! (I think he was too comfortable in bed!!!). Apologies again for the inconvenience but see you soon!!!

This is just a job which we delivered earlier in the week, the client wanted to make a BIG statement and we sourced the best Cone Bay Laural without the budget going too crazy!!! You have to agree, they look stunning outside the property! (despite the fact that Adam looks like he has just escaped from Armley Prison!!!) If you want that something special for your next garden project, please get in touch!

It’s moments like this that make all the hard work and dedication from the team’s efforts worthwhile. Thank you Nina & partner!

Boss Man’s been busy with his snips again! Fresh in are these STUNNING topiary Bay, fresh from the growers in Belgium, you will be pushed to find quality as good! But the goodies don’t stop there, we have more to come so keep an eye out, you won’t be disappointed!!!

It’s MONDAY MADNESS time, and today we have a little treat! THIS TROLLEY ONLY, ALL PACK PANSYFREE! That’s right, you are not dreaming, once they have gone that’s it, so don’t be the one that misses out!!!

Fresh, fresh, FRESH!!! There is nothing better than new stock delivery day (well there is but I can’t say on here!!!), and today was that day! All you need now is to finish that cuppa and get the gardening gear on, and obviously come across before they all sell out!!!

I honestly thought that we were heading into spring and not winter this morning when I saw this Standard Magnolia sending out a flower!!! (I even checked my calendar!!!) But either way, you have to agree that the colour is just stunning! Possible the next best purchase that you will have to make!!!

It’s been a busy old morning today but we’ll worth the efforts that everyone had put in! Not only did our Bay tree delivery arrive but so did out fresh range of Light Weight Terracotta Pots in these stunning finishes! If you want that modern, contemporary but classy finish, look no further!

We have gone Camellia CRAZY here at Chana Store HQ, and to be totally honest… these are the best we have ever had, your garden is missing out if you don’t have one!!!

Boss Man has done it again!!! We have managed to secure more of the special offer 6pack Pansy and Viola at the AMAZING price of £1.50 per pack, but if it’s anything like yesterday, DO NOT leave it too late, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!!! (The grasses look good too!!!)

This is too good to be true, so much so that even Dynamo, one of the greatest magicians in the world couldn’t magic this offer out of his top hat!!! We have gone back to our old days pricing, for those of you that will remember, our bedding packs used to be £1.50 each. WELL!, we have managed it again, BUT, we can’t promise how long it will last! ALL 6PACK PANSY AND VIOLA ARE £1.50 EACH WHILST STOCKS LAST! Once they have gone, so will the offer price, SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, get in quickly!!! Don’t forget the fresh winter hanging baskets too!!!

QUICK! The suns out which only means one thing, get in the garden to start that autumn planting, and with all the stock so far out from our huge buy in last week, you won’t be able to help yourself but to rethink how you have planned your garden!!! Prior warning!, you won’t be able to help yourself but to buy, buy, BUY!!!

Sometimes plant just won’t do, (yes I know what I have just said!!!) but when thinking of that perfect addition or possibly even that gift for someone special, these stone ornaments may just cut the mustard!!! Made from concrete, and weatherproof for all conditions, these hand painted pieces are just that finishing touch!

Despite the SHOCKING WEATHER today, we think these little gems will help brighten your day!, again just a teaser from our successful trip to the trade show, you cannot but agree that they would look great in you garden or planter at home! Louie, despite his best effort to shadow the Skimmia Majic Merlot, couldn’t stray you away from the stunning variegation on the foliage, but then the bonus is when the berries turn that deep merlot red, the perfect shade for such a delicate shrub! Then I think the Hydrangeas speak for themselves, rich colours and bushy well balanced plants, for this time of year, the BEST WE HAVE EVER SEEN!!!

Just a teaser for you but I had to give this Cortaderia it’s own spotlight! Commonly known as Pampass Grass, we are all used to seeing them at 8ft tall with vast quantities of white feathered plumes, and given the space, they can take over, but this variety is different. This is the Selloana Tiny Pampa, and as the name would suggest, it stays compact, so if you want the look without the invasive characteristics, this is the perfect plant, ideal in planters too. ( And don’t worry, the stigma that was attached in the 60’s and 70’s isn’t associated anymore!!!)

Delivery no2!!! All I’m going to say is that you are all in for a TREAT!!! Keep a close eye on the social’s as Boss Man will be displaying in more detail what has arrived!

ITS STARTED!!! You may remember, last week the Boss Man and myself went on a plant finding expedition, and with no obstacles in our path , we came up TOP TRUMPS!!! Today, saw the first our new stock arriving, keep an eye out as we have some stunning specimens coming!!!

The Boss Man looks in his element this morning whilst getting these planters ready, he even did some extra!!!

There’s more!!!

So, it may have a been a fair distance and the early wake-up alarm was welcomed with swearing and hammer in hand, but it was definitely worth it, let’s just say that we have some treats coming in store for you all! Here is just a minor teaser!!!

Dear all, we will be closed today but open tomorrow as normal but for good reason, we have taken the day to go plant buying so keep an eye out as we have some stunning specimens and varieties coming, you need to keep it locked here!!!

Credit where credit’s due, and today no one is more deserving than these two grafters, they really put the effort in to help stock up, well done Louie and Miles! Now back to business!, and we have some treats for you!

Even on his birthday, Boss Man is working and let’s be honest, on a day like today, it was that little bit easier!!! Fresh in hence the late finish, you will be chomping at the bit until opening tomorrow so that you can have first dibs on these beauties! But more to the point, yes it is the Boss Man’s birthday today, 21 (for the 47th time!), today, he’ll be celebrating with a whiskey or 3 tonight! Let’s just get everything tidied away first!!!

With autumn soon approaching, now is the time to start planning your next batch of colour and we have you covered so don’t worry!!! But as always, fresh plants need fresh compost, still available at the amazing offer of 3 bags for £12.00! DON’T LEAVE IT TOO LATE OR YOU WILL MISS OUT!

Dear all, some of you may have noticed, but we will be closed today and tomorrow, open again on Thursday due to a close family bereavement, apologies again. The Chana Store Team

Just look at these Buxus…!

It’s the bank holiday weekend and the weather looks good, NOW is the best time to get those last few jobs done that you just never get time to do, and FINALLY WE HAVE HAD OUR DELIVERY OF POTS!!!
