The nursery is based around an acre of gardens containing over 2,500 different plants many rare and unusual. The gardens are open without charge (except on a few National Garden Scheme or Red Cross Open Days when there is a small charge) and we encourage visitors to enjoy the gardens and perhaps bring their own refreshments and have them on the patio.
Our gardens are open for charity on the following occasions in 2008; refreshments will also be available:
