Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We anticipate an increase in turnover for the financial year ending September 2025. Whilst it will not hit the heights of YE 2020/21, interest in gardening and plants remains strong, we explore new opportunities and products and many customers are not holding significant amounts of excess stock as they were this time last year, so need to replenish their supplies. We are placing orders with our suppliers accordingly and we are optimistic that some momentum will be regained into the coming years and beyond.”
Significant events
- “The unseasonally wet and cool weather through the key sales months, did not allow for the additional orders that typically emerge from more favourable weather years. Growers and other customers were often committed to try to sell what they planned, but less intent on increasing their risk.”
- “continued concerns surrounding the cost of living and external global forces remain at play. Concerns of supply from politically sensitive areas has dictated a more pragmatic strategy to sourcing initial input material. We have continued to deal with the increased difficulties placed upon import and export of live plant material as we enter a new era of the Target Operating Model including Border Control Posts. Financial pressures will be increased from budgetary changes as a new government makes its mark.”
