The Nursery  

We propagate our own plants from seed or vegetative cuttings and grow on in our polytunnel until we feel they are ready for sale.  We concentrate mainly on plants which fit into the traditional cottage garden. However, we also grow a selection of alpines and shrubs, Fuchsias are also a particular area of interest.  Where possible we prefer to only use and sell our own   grown plants, however conifers are grown for us in Lincolnshire and we often procure large quantities of bedding for Gardening customers.
We employ a young teenager for washing the plant pots and trays, and helping out on the Nursery on Saturdays.  We take our employment of teenagers very seriously and take it as our job to prepare them for work following education.  Whilst they will be sweeping up and doing other menial tasks they are not just cheap labour to us, and we like them to progress and always give them every chance to prove themselves.

How we try to do our bit for the environment

To keep our plastic waste to a minimum we recycle our plant pots and welcome donations of unwanted plastic plant pots. 
We also re-use compost bags as basket liners, and have any spare bags for customers to take free.
