Jubilee weekend is underway! Here at Riverside we’re open across the whole weekend: our bunting is up, the garden centre is fully stocked with gorgeous spring and summer plants and we’re ready to welcome the gardeners and ‘garden dabblers’ of the Bristol area through our gates!

Join the Sunflower Extravaganza!

This bank holiday weekend we are kicking off our Riverside Sunflower Extravaganza! Come and find our sunflower planting station where you can learn about the life cycle of a sunflower and plant a seed to join in our free sunflower growing competition.

Take your pot home, and as your sunflower grows share your photos on Facebook or Instagram, tagging them with #sunflowerpower_riverside. There will be prizes for our favourites!

Feeling rosy

Riverside's roses are in and popping with blooms right now! We have loads of tried and tested favourites, as well as some newcomers for 2022. 

Roses can be enjoyed in gardens of all sizes and can play many different roles in the garden. You might be looking for a rose simply to tickle your nostrils with its delicious scent, or perhaps you have a wall or archway that you’d like to cover, or you want to add some more summer colour to a border.

Even in smaller spaces, roses have much to offer. Patio roses and some of the smaller bush roses are perfect for pots - just make sure the pot is large enough and deep enough for the variety you’ve chosen, as roses are deep rooted and are hungry, thirsty plants. 

We know that the sheer variety of roses on offer can sometimes be overwhelming but don’t let that stop you. Please ask us for any advice you need on selecting and caring for the perfect rose for you! 

Jubilant bedding for the Jubilee


We are happy to report that our bedding plant department continues to burst with colour this week. If you come down to see us you’ll find our excellent selection of basket and pot bedding and multipacks of popular favourites such as Marigolds and Cosmos. Our displays are also bursting with bold New Guinea Impatiens, Begonias, Geraniums and Osterosperumum, as well as romantic swathes of Nemesia and Argyranthemums.

And if you’re looking to create a red, white and blue display to mark the Jubilee we will be happy to give you some ideas!

The season for Salvias

Salvias are a wonderful group of plants, giving loads of flowers to delight the eye and entice the bees and butterflies. As we move towards summer, the number of different types and varieties on offer at Riverside is going up and up! Here are just a few to whet your appetite…

Salvia ‘Hot Lips’: This is one of the most popular Salvias we sell, adored for its bright red and white flowers all through the summer. The foliage gives off a blackcurrant aroma. 

Salvia nemerosa: Varieties bred from this species include the beautiful ‘Caradonna’ and the ‘Sensation’ series. These have a profusion of upright flower spikes in late spring and summer, and with deadheading may continue flowering into autumn. 

Salvia 'Amistad': Another Riverside customer favourite, this variety is noted for its long flowering season and deep purple flowers which adorn its dark stems.

Salvia guaranitica ‘Black and Bloom’: A tall, dramatic plant perfect for the back of a border, it has intense blue flowers that contrast against its black stems and deep green leaves.

And we also of course have Common Sage (Salvia officinalis) in our herb section. You may know it best for its culinary uses but when it flowers its relationship to its cousins above becomes apparent!

Happy to help.

If you have any questions at all then please feel free to contact us, we'd love to hear from you!
