Things are hotting up over at Draw UK’s busy design hub. Retailers across the garden centre sector can select from 24 original hand drawn designs which have been added to its growing range of Compost Heap greetings cards. This means retailers have over 150 designs from which to compile their offering to customers, with more to come every month in what is a very busy creative period for Draw UK.
The range of humorous designs is based on Draw UK’s Compost Heap characters, which appear on each of its premium greetings cards, in addition to a broad selection of stationery and giftware. For retailers this means there is something to delight every customer. From running runner beans to golfing bears, gin-drinking bees to gardening hedgehogs, owls who like to party to rabbits riding bikes; Draw UK continues to pull in the puns using eye-catching characters inspired by nature with the aim of raising a smile and bringing a little light relief to everyone’s day.
The Compost Heap range is designed in the UK. Every character is carefully considered and drawn, by hand, before being printed locally using vegetable inks on recycled board. The greetings cards, along with all items in the Compost Heap range, are carefully packed by hand and shipped to garden centre customers across the UK and beyond.
With seamless ordering, including barcoding, an online portal for retailers and in-depth sales support, the Compost Heap characters can be delivered into store within a week of ordering and always with next day delivery. Draw UK also offers a range of bespoke point of sale materials and has a wealth of expertise when it comes to merchandising for the most impactful product display to entice customers in the store.
Will Wingfield Digby, Managing Director of Draw UK comments: “The Compost Heap really is growing. 2025 sees our biggest range to date. For over 20 years the business has continued to create fresh new designs that position our greeting cards and giftware at the cutting edge of the industry.
