Shop Local: Spruce up your home and garden for spring

Want to spruce up your home and garden this spring? Our local independents are here to help. . .

Small & Green
Described as “a green oasis offering a warm welcome to every plant lover,” you’ll find Small and Green down Cambridge’s famous Mill Road. Say the team: “We stock a variety of easy-care houseplants, some rare ones, plus a range of interesting pots and planters, some of which are handmade. We also make terrariums and offer workshops where you can come along and learn how to make your own - book via our website or buy a gift voucher to redeem against a date of your choice. We have a range of beautiful cards, books and tools, too, all with a houseplant-y theme.” Among Small and Green’s best-sellers is Pilea peperomioides (from £11), grown at a nursery near Royston in peat-free compost and presented in a jute pot (from £8.50).
