About

The nursery has been established for over 30 years.
I have been growing plants here since 2005: its a way of life, not just a place of work for us.
Steve joined in 2013 which coincided with a deterioration in my health.
We have soldiered on but the lack of input has taken its toll on the nursery.
I am finally getting back to full health and we are starting to make inroads into improving the nursery.
Covid 19 has been a testing time for us all, but we are, finally, re-opening on the 13th May! First steps on the road to "normality"!!!!!
Having an auto-immune disease I am significantly concerned at the danger posed to us all, in re-opening;
I would, therefore, kindly ask all our loyal customers to help us to maintain a one-way system, with social distancing, around the nursery.
Personally, I can't think of a better way to earn a living (winters and coronavirus not withstanding).
We are passionate about our plants and we are looking forward to seeing you all, again, once this vile virus has gone!
Take care and be safe,
Lynn and Steve. Owners
