Please click here for latest ordering information. We are having to implement an hourly limit in order numbers due to demand. We are short staffed, so the phone is not being answered as quickly as normal. We are despatching your orders as fast as possible, however there may be a delay of up to two weeks. UK orders only no exports.

Please note once despatched, your delivery may take 1-3 days due to the high volume with the couriers. Your plants will be fine during this time.

Full plant information & availability is shown online.

The nursery is now open to the public between 10am and 4pm. Please follow instructions on site, card payments only, no cash. Click and collect is also available.

Medicinal Plants

Medicinal Plants

Plants with medicinal or healing properties originate from many different continents. Some medicinal plants have been known about for centuries while others have only been discovered as having medicinal properties by modern medicine or herbal treatments and may be better known as herbs or fruiting trees. Other medicinal plants play an important role in the search for cures for serious diseases.
Our full plant list can be found by using the a-z on the right hand menu or using the keyword search top right, if you need something specific.
