About The Nursery

Formerly a suburban commercial nursery, this is now a large organic garden with a mix of fruit, vegetable and ornamental plantings. A wide range of vegetables are grown in beds and in traditional rows. There are several greenhouses including a 20m long structure used for tomatoes, peppers, aubergines etc. Fruit is a speciality with over 100 apples and pears, some as trained trees others as larger forms, plus soft fruit in a large fruit cage. Ornamental plantings focus on wildlife friendly plants with a small woodland garden and borders in an informal style, plus areas of flowers for cutting. The Nursery welcomes group visits and can provide tastings of produce such as tomatoes at appropriate times.
