A family nursery on the edge of the woods. Hardy plants, grown slowly, outdoors.
Everything here spends at least one winter outside before it is sold, so what leaves the nursery already knows cold nights and late frosts. We keep the list short and grow what we can look after properly.
| Group | Examples | Sold as |
|---|---|---|
| Shade perennials | hostas, ferns, astilbe, lungwort, woodland anemones | 2 l pots |
| Sunny borders | catmint, sage, echinacea, daylilies, ornamental grasses | 1–3 l pots |
| Fruit trees | old apple and pear varieties on semi-dwarf rootstock, plums, quince | bare root, Nov–Mar |
| Hedging | hawthorn, hornbeam, field maple, wild rose | bundles of 25 |
Autumn is planting time. Bare-root trees and hedging are lifted to order from November, once the leaves are down; perennials in pots can go in until the ground freezes.
The nursery is open on Saturdays from April to October, 10:00–16:00. Twice each summer we hold an open garden weekend: the display beds, the old orchard and the pond are open to walk around, and there is tea under the lime tree. Dogs on leads are welcome.
