Welcome to our 2010/11 catalogue 

We are a traditionally run specialist Alpine nursery, that has been established some 18 years and over that time we have built up a wide range of unusual alpines. We propagate and grow all our own plants so are able to give you sound advice on all of the varieties available. Because of the way we grow our plants not all will be available at the same time - some of the newer varieties will not be available until later in the year, so if ordering by mail order then please give substitutes.

  Over the years we have won many Gold medals, many of them RHS medals, with our displays of Alpine Troughs. We are also regular exhibitors at the Chelsea Flower Show.

  As well as the RHS Events this year we will be holding other workshops throughout the year. Please see RHS events and Nursery Workshops.

  When you visit the nursery you will discover many Alpine gardens, trough display gardens as well grass and herbaceous beds. We still have many new beds under construction. We also have areas where visitors can bring picnics and enjoy the peace of the gardens.

My planted boxes have their uses.

We hope you will call in to the nursery where you are welcome to browse and see what we have for yourself. The nursery will be open more often this year  (please see opening times in the catalogue). Also we will be opening one Saturday each month to make it easier for those who are working to visit. (See opening hours)

If you prefer a traditional copy of the catalogue then please email using the contact page and we will post one to you.

We are always happy to give information or advice so please ring me if you think I can help. Meanwhile thanks to all of you for your support and we look forward to seeing you in 2010
