Plant Finder: in Kiosks / Websites
Barton Grange
Plant Area Kiosks
Add a “Plant Team Assistant” to your Plant Area!
Now, both customers and staff can quickly find the plants you stock that match customer needs.
The ‘Plant Finder’ Touchscreen Kiosk lets them find plants that you sell, whether by name, or by browsing groups, or by any criteria – colours, soil, shady conditions etc.
Photos, full descriptions and care info are provided for 17,000+ UK plants.
Give your Plant Area the perfect “Plant Team Assistant” – from £600/year per store + setup
Plus, we can include Care Product recommendations for your preferred brands for almost every plant.
“We were a little sceptical about having a kiosk to begin with, but soon realised that it was a real gem to have in our plant area. It’s full of useful general gardening information as well as a very handy option to direct customers to when all of the plant team are busy with other customers.
“The Plant Finder is also a very useful tool to have on the website. Joy of Plants have successfully matched our brand guidelines to seamlessly make it part of our website. It can be very handy to direct customers to when they call in with a plant query.”
Louise Smith, Senior Communications Manager, Perrywood
(Perrywood won the Garden Centre Association’s Best Customer Service Award, in January 2025. At Joy of Plants, we flatter ourselves that having info on all your plants, to help answer your customers’ questions, and guide them to plants they’ll like, might be one small part of that. ☺ And Perrywood do know what they’re doing: they also won “Destination Garden Centre of the Year”.)
“We’ve so far found many benefits of using the Plant Finder on our website. For example, when a customer phones in with a plant-related question, we talk through how to find and use the Plant Finder, highlighting the way each plant is explained in terms of care, features and placement. We also go through how the customer can use the various search functions to find the right plant for them and the space they wish to fill.
“And, if our plant experts are not on hand to answer specific plant questions in store, our other staff members can use the Plant Finder Kiosk to help with customer questions or queries. Our landscaping and design team also use it to design plant schemes for clients’ gardens too, so it has many uses across departments.”
Nick Haydon, Fakenham Garden Centre
