About

A traditional family run nursery with plants cared for from seeds, cuttings or plugs on site. We’ve been doing this for over sixty years and we hope it shows. We’re no plant supermarket and we haven’t got a coffee shop but we’ll never try to sell you what you don’t need at the wrong time of year.

We grow as much as we can on-site in the space available and what we can’t we diligently source from East Anglia, striving to reduce our carbon footprint and support local growers. While there are a few plants that are challenging to source locally, we ensure that these plants are obtained from a trusted local wholesaler.
