Trees & Fruit Plants
TREES GROWN THE RIGHT WAY, NOT THE EASY WAY
Our fruit plants, fruit trees and ornamental trees start life at our nursery in the heart of the Cotswolds. Nestled in the stunning Vale of Evesham, our head tree grower Mike oversees the nurturing and development of well over 100 hundred different varieties. Our trees and soft fruit plants are grown outdoors, at their own pace, and from the best quality rootstocks, to give you a tree that will establish quickly and live a long, happy and healthy life in your garden. What you’re receiving from us is a tree grown with more care than you could ever possibly wish for.
Climbing Plants
GROWN BY SPECIALISTS AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR GAME
Our climbing plant nursery in Worcestershire grows the biggest range of climbers in the UK, with the growers regarded as experts in clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle, passion flowers and more. With their advice, we choose the most vigorous and successful varieties every year and never seem to be able to visit them without adding another few exciting new plants to our range! Maybe it’s the organic fertilisers, the biological pest control or just the magic touch, but every climber we’ve ever taken home from this nursery has grown like a sped up film reel…
Perennial Plants
BORN IN HEREFORDSHIRE, BLOOMING IN YOUR GARDEN
Our perennial flowering plants are grown at a specialist nursery nestled in the Herefordshire Hills. The growers have been here for over forty years, and their passion for plants is obvious - they can talk about them all day! They’re always trying out exciting new plant varieties, with only the best and healthiest making the range (we get first pick, obviously!). With an eye on the future, they’re also increasing wildlife habitats at their nursery site, using biological pest control and working towards eliminating the use of peat.
Vegetable Plants
NURTURED IN THE MOST FERTILE SOILS
At our specialist nursery in the Cotswolds, our head vegetable grower, Alice, and her team work year-round on tending to the happiest, healthiest selection of veg plants you could imagine. The range we grow is a mix of trusted favourites, award-winning heirlooms and exciting new F1 varieties. We’ll only ever send you the healthiest plants at the perfect time for planting out. Our growers are experts in their field(s) and we’re proud to champion sustainable practices wherever we can, working towards 100% peat-free plants, watering with collected rainwater and using as much recyclable or compostable packaging as possible.
Pond Plants
A DEEP DIVE INTO SUSTAINABLE GARDENING
Our pond plant growers are world leaders in developing and growing lilies, marginals, oxygenators and more, with an emphasis on sustainable methods and plants that benefit wildlife (the nursery even has resident ducks!). Since 1965 they’ve been at the forefront of pond plant innovation, inventing the aquatic basket, which they’ve been making from recycled plastic for over forty years. With the best range of pond plants in the UK and eight RHS gold medals in the trophy cabinet, it’s safe to say our growers are outstanding in their er, pond.
