Plant Nursery

All of our plants are grown here on site. They are either propagated from seed, grown from cuttings or split from existing established plants. They are hardy Northern plants!

We specialize in perennials, herbs and shrubs; basically all those plants that you can pop in your garden and let them do their own thing , and they come back year after year. We try and grow those that are just a bit different to your everyday blossom (although we do grow those as well).

Seasonally, at the turn of the year our nursery benches groan under the weight of bulbs such as snowdrops, daffodils, alliums and crocuses. From spring onward we will have a range of vegetable seedlings for sale, as well as one or two of the better annuals (companion plants in particular). Later in the year we have the cyclamens and hyacinths on show.

Our volunteers and clients grow and tend to the plants as part of their course work, which means that we can keep our costs down at very competitive levels.

All the plants that we have on our nursery beds have been sown, grown, split, grafted, propagated or taken as cuttings by either our highly qualified horticultural staff or our day care service users and volunteers. We do not use any chemicals on site, just a lot of love, care and attention.

The stock on the nursery beds is constantly changing as things sell and others get large enough to come out of the tunnels, so if we don't have something out this week we may have a different plant next week that will take your eye.
