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.

Each eco friendly garden includes a selection of plants from the nursery to help encourage wildlife, be low maintenance and have year-round interest.
