Visit us during our main growing season from March – October.
We are currently closed for the Winter season, but if you’d like to visit please get in touch and we will be happy to arrange.
Our nursery grows a wonderful range of Herbaceous perennials, Ornamental grasses, and Wildflowers, ready to buy direct from our nursery plant centre. Our range blends perfectly to help create wildlife friendly and naturalistic planting areas in any outdoor space. Plants that will be reliable, long lived and low maintenance.
Wildflowers are sold in 9cm and 1 litre pots depending on variety.
Perennials and Grasses are sold in 1 litre and 2 litre pots depending on variety. Our stock lists can be found on the home page.
Planting wildflowers and perennials is one of the best ways to attract pollinators into your garden, providing a rich source of pollen and nectar from Spring to Autumn and helping to increase biodiversity.

The nursery is located on the Somerset- Dorset border, just 8 miles from the historic market town of Sherborne and 4 miles from Wincanton.
The Hauser and Wirth gardens, The Newt and Stourhead National Trust are all within a 20 minutes drive, so an ideal opportunity to combine a whole day out in the area.
