Who are we?

We are a family owned and run business based in the flat Lincolnshire Fens. I’m Liz and I manage the day to day running of Hetty’s as well as our already well established on line store SocksFox selling European socks and underwear. SocksFox started trading over 10 years ago, we now have a wealth of experience, fantastic staff and excellent customer loyalty.

With having a Dutch father, growing and horticulture has always been a part of my upbringing. Being part of a family who own and run a successful wholesale herb and plant nursery locally, I couldn’t help but see the opportunity to merge the success of our two businesses and create Hetty’s.

I have always loved food and drink and the freshness of home grown products and know that I am not alone in this. So making herbs more accessible, especially the more unique varieties we can offer is an added bonus. In addition to this my interest for wildlife means that we can help make easier to bring lots of bee and insect friendly plants to people’s patios and gardens. I am also keen to make sure we give something back and we will be donating part of every sale from Hetty’s to the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, click here to read more about Hetty’s Charity of the Year.
