We are open to visitors on an appointment only basis . You are very welcome. Just contact us with day and time to suit you. (After 10a.m. please) Please check our website for full details.

We are a working nursery, not a garden centre, so please don't expect rows of priced plants.We do have some very unusual plants in small numbers that you may be able to prise away from Tony.

Transform your garden into a tranquil, lush oasis with our stunning collection of outdoor ferns! Say goodbye to tricky, shady spots and hello to effortless elegance. Our hardy outdoor ferns are the ultimate solution for adding texture, structure, and year-round interest to your garden, no matter the conditions.

🌿 Why choose our outdoor ferns?

● Shade-loving superstars: They thrive in those hard-to-fill, low-light areas where other plants struggle, creating a beautiful, naturalistic feel.

● Low maintenance, high impact: Ferns are surprisingly tough, resilient, and virtually pest-free. Plant them, and watch them flourish with minimal fuss.

● A variety of looks: From the feathery fronds of the elegant Dryopteris Affinis to the architectural, evergreen beauty of the Hart's Tongue Fern, we have a fern for every style and space.

● Ancient and timeless: These are some of the oldest plants on Earth, bringing a sense of history and timeless beauty to your garden design.

Whether you're creating a woodland-style border, softening a rocky bank, or simply adding a touch of green to a shady patio, our ferns are the perfect choice. Ready to find your new garden favourite? You are welcome to make an appointment
