The bluebells are out! We strolled through the woods earlier in the week and enjoyed a delightful carpet of blue under the emerging tree foliage. They should be out now until around the last week in April - we'll keep you posted. Please wear sturdy footwear, keep dogs on a short close lead and stay on the path, to protect the bluebells and leave the wildlife that lives there undisturbed. Thank you. 

The garden, nursery and tea room are now fully open for the 2026 season. Our normal opening hours are 10-5 Wed to Sat - click here for full details.

Our online shop is open all year round, with a superb range of plants, seeds and our own gift range. We usually despatch online orders on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to ensure they arrive by the weekend. You can also place click and and collect orders for plants and for Melcort's exceptional peat-free compost.

Looking for ideas for your own garden for next year? Our website selection filters to help you choose by colour, height, soil type and aspect, from our huge range of hardy perennial plants, grown here at the nursery, peat-free and pesticide free.
