Nursery
Our Nursery covers a site of over 2.5 acres, where we produce 80% of the plants sold on the Garden Centre

1.5 acres are heated covered areas including Polly tunnels and glasshouses where we grow the tender bedding & basket plants.

Temperature and light levels are all controlled by hand and even though we have a potting machine every plant is manually handled & checked on a regular basis to ensure conditions are perfect.  Although time consuming we feel the quality of the finished product warrants the extra work.

The other acre is dedicated to the production of hardy nursery stock including a wide range of trees, shrubs, conifers & perennials, 60% of which are under automatic watering although all of the plants are still watered & fed by hand as well.

Most of the bedding plants are grown in packs of either 4,6,9 or 12 and are available from mid – May onwards.  For gardeners who like to start early and grow there own bedding & basket plants, we grow a wide range of Fuchsias, Geraniums and mixed basket plants in small pots available from the first week in February and also a comprehensive range of seedlings from mid –March onwards.

In the glass houses, hanging above benches we grow our fantastic hanging pots overflowing with colorful Fuchsias, Geraniums and Surfinia Petunia.  100’s of mixed baskets are grown to order, started in early February and collected in early June.

Nottingham is a regular winner of the Britain in Bloom completion, which makes us proud to say that some of the plants on display are grown by ourselves.  We regularly supply the County Council  with both hardy shrubs and trees as well as bedding plants to help the yearly quest to be voted the prettiest place in Britain.
