We are a small retail nursery, based in the Midlands specialising in rare & unusual herbaceous perennials, ornamental grasses, ferns and bamboos.
Plant Heritage have confirmed that we are now officially National Collection Holders for two of our favourite plant families: Aster novae-angliae (full status) and Sanguisorba (provisional status). Hooray!
Come and see over 50 varieties of Michaelmas daisies in our display garden during Aster Week in September. In all shades of pink, lavender, purple and mauve, they're an essential feature for the garden in late summer. Most varieties are available to buy in the nursery.
Visitors often use our garden like a reference book, as all of our plants are clearly labeled.
If you make a note of the plants you like which are not yet available in the nursery, we can send you a reminder next year along with our popular newsletter.
Despite the Big Freeze before Christmas, we've had time to develop the top end of the garden, with changes to the layout and planting and, as always, lots of exciting new plants have been added throughout the garden!
We're happy to arrange visits for garden clubs and societies, which includes an introductory chat and an informal Q&A about the plants. Light refreshments can be provided if required. Russell's stunning Quarry Garden is also well worth a visit, especially in late spring, with a dazzling display of azaleas and rhododendrons.
Contact Di Cockcroft for more details.
Our 2012 catalogue will be available shortly...
Brian is well known for his enthusiastic talks on a variety of subjects, which he can customise for individual garden clubs or societies.
Many of the descriptions in our catalogue include advice about the ideal position for a plant. If you need further advice, please ask at the nursery. He can also offer a design consultancy service if required.
Unfortunately we don't offer mail order. But we can take orders to plant fairs if they are closer to you than the nursery. Check out the list of venues on our Events Page.
If you are visiting the nursery for a particular plant, it is advisable to contact us beforehand to avoid disappointment, especially later in the season.
You can find directions to the nursery here.
