About Norwell Nurseries

Inspirationally planted 1 acre plot shows what can be grown on heavy, unforgiving clay in a frost pocket. It includes shady garden with orchids, woodland gems, especially Trilliums, Erythroniums and Astrantias, Hosta walk, with over 100 hostas from miniatures to giants, cottage garden borders, alpine and scree areas. Large naturalistic pond teeming with wildlife and opulently planted margins and bog gardens. Extensive herbaceous borders and effervescent colour themed beds. Patio ‘bell’ borders drip with Dieramas (Angel’s Fishing rods) in mid summer. Innovative Grassoretum (like an arboretum but for grasses). New borders every year. We are the UK pioneers of growing tricky plants in pure sand, now having over thirty innovative sand beds. These provide all year colour for North American, Mediterranean and alpine plants.
