Being hands on in the garden can be very rewarding . Whether its through watering or planting seeds in the flowerbed, our customers enjoy being part of its growth. With over half a century of horticultural expertise. Hozelock understand the rewards of gardening and have developed the range to help gardeners to get the most from their involvement in it. We combine a knowledge and passion for gardening with a pride in craftsmanship to develop gardening solutions that help gardens flourish and come to life. Every product is crafted to work time after time, so that our customers can care for their gardens in the best possible way. As a result , Hozelock is one of Britain's favourite gardening suppliers. From our early days, our drive has always been to develop technically perfect, visibly striking products that are part of a system. Our first product was the worlds first plastic hose connector - the Hoze-Lock.

The Hozelock Group supplies products under two brands : Hozelock - our retail Gardening brand, and Tricoflex - our B2B industrial Hose brand.
