"There must have been a good transit van’s worth of plants taken and they aren’t small either – some are four foot high, meaning that someone must have seen something.
"We believe they had gone through the glass doors connecting the patio to the Chantry Centre.
"We contacted Manuela as soon as we knew to help us get the word out."
Landlady Jodie Marie added: "It is frustrating as you try to make something look really nice for everybody and spend all this money to make the pub look better and people just come and take things.
"It is not one or two, it is around 10."
The pub contacted the Advertiser through Attitude of Gratitude campaigner, Manuela Wahnon, who wanted to help raise awareness of the incident.
