The story behind the local company - Plants from Zion Q: So, what is the story behind of Plants from Zion? Plants from Zion is a small family business based in Ashley . My name is Ofer El-Hashahar and I was born and bred in Israel and married a lovely English woman. We moved from Israel to the UK, with our little girls, to live where my wife Fiona had been brought up. On a personal note: Setting up Plants from Zion was quite a challenge. I started out by importing the Strimmer Resistant and Green Enviro Lawn Edgings. Being a designer myself, I got the itch and decided to design more products. It was a risky business, as I had to invest my own funds into the business. While I was a rather successful landscaper and garden designer in Israel, switching over to importing and designing gardening products is not easy! I had my professional know-how to rely on, as well as my academic credentials in landscaping, yet had to deal with language issues (be prepared for my Israeli accent on the phone!). Although 200 units of the enviro raised beds and the lots of the garden edgings were sold this year-and all customers were happy. Currently any help will be great. Offering our quality, affordable products - Products such as our raised beds, or the blooming window cone - a new product that can be used instead of a hanging basket or a window box , the strimmer resist lawn edging that is great if you use sheers or a trimmer. Also quality outdoor lighting. A ll these products are exclusive to us at the moment and hopefully will get later on to the garden centres. on the website a lot of information if needed and also we are happy to assist on the phone Free samples and free delivery only to the customers around us.
