From beginnings in garden design, Formality has evolved into a leading retailer of garden related merchandise. While initially concentrating on garden design projects it quickly became apparent that there was little to offer the discerning gardener once they set about "furnishing" their garden.

We decided to explore what potential there might be in establishing a haven for the visionary gardener. We are now established as a garden furniture specialist with extensive ranges from the UK, Belgium and France, and acknowledged as a premier supplier of topiary and architectural specimen plants. We have extended our range of planters to include copper, lead, teak, terrazzo and zinc . Our gift range changes with every season and we are committed to continue sourcing new and varied products throughout the world.

We pride ourselves on reflecting national and international trends in design. We believe by displaying our products in a garden setting and interior showroom, our clients may visualise just how their garden might be "furnished".
