Autumn Bulbs
In stock now we have a wide variety of Taylors Choice
Bulbs; it's time to stock up on your Tulips, Crocus and Iris’s. Highly recommended is the gorgeous peony flowered and beautifully scented Tulip
'Angelique', a delicate soft pink.
We are eagerly awaiting our delivery of Daffodil bulbs from Fentongollan , grown in Cornwall, they should be with us very soon.
Stock up on seeds!
We have just received this season's delivery of flower and vegetable
seeds. We have a great variety and range, growing inspiration for your garden.
It’s time to get out there and dig for victory! Have you got the ground properly prepared? Come along and select your seeds for next years crop and imagine you are already tucking into that great harvest of healthy vegetables. Never mind the credit crunch, this way you can feed yourself and your imagination at the same time!
Open
Ground Season
There are not very many retail nurseries left that
sell stock bare-rooted. It is in fact a concept so alien
to some customers that we have to explain what we actually
mean by it.
Between November and March we offer a
sizable range of trees, both fruiting and ornamental, dug
from the ground and sold bare-rooted, not containerised.
This is a cheaper method of production and these plants
represent excellent value for money. Most of this stock is
too big to send out with our present carriers, though we
hope to get fruit trees in the online shop by November.
For several years we have opened our
tree field for a week in late September so that customers
can select and reserve the trees of their choice. This
year we are extending that to the whole month of
September. Some open ground stock is in the sale too, so
there are bargains to be had here too!
Fruit
Our bare-root fruit will be available from sometime in
mid November. All of our current stock of pot fruit is on
a buy one, get one free offer, to make room for new stock
in a month or so. We have several local apples in pots
available now; soon to be added to the website listing.
Buying by Mail Order.
It's not where it should be, but we've put a bunch of
testimonials from satisfied customers into the Features
section. I'll get it moved to the plant shop in time but
in the meantime, if you have any reservations about buying
from us it may clear up some of your concerns.

Angie Coombs, new Nursery General Manager.
Arthur, one of the
nursery's three cats, is everyone's favourite.
At long last we have managed to get
a
flower on this variety
so I could take its picture. Worth the wait.
Fuchsia 'Daryn John Woods'
Fuchsia 'Shauna
Lindsay'. We keep
on adding new varieties, this one is a real beauty.
Leycesteria 'Golden Lantern'. One of the
best new shrub
varieties of recent
years.
Helenium 'Sahin's Early
Flowerer'.
Easy, reliable, loads
of flowers. What more could you want?
