In 1996 Harriet Scott established her own company and named her new venture RK Alliston after her late grandfather, an artist whose garden in the South of France was a great source of inspiration.
Keen to create a garden design showroom where she could interact with clients, she set up shop in a small unit on the New King's Road in Parsons Green, London.
In addition to the garden design service Harriet offered customers a small range of interesting and attractive garden accessories and gifts that she had sourced.The showroom was an instant success and far exceeded Harriet's expectations.
The collection of products available in the store proved to be such a hit that Harriet set about extending the range - even commissioning own brand goods. Increasing demand for goods to be sent by mail order persuaded Harriet to produce the first RK Alliston mail order catalogue in the autumn of 1999.
Since then, both sides of the business have thrived. In October 2002 R.K. Alliston opened the second shop in Bath, Somerset which also stocks an extensive range of garden accessories, plants, tools and stylish gifts for garden lovers.
The mail order business continues to go from strength to strength. There are seven catalogues to date. Each produced by an in-house team with Harriet acting as Creative Director. Customers are able to purchase products by traditional mail order catalogue or directly from the online shop.
