Hello People!
In these very early (and cold) days of the year, I thought I would take a little time to give some idea of the scale and direction of my plans for the nursery this year. With that in mind, here's a list of what I will be growing (or should I say trying to grow - if only it were that simple!) in the coming months.
When I started last year, there was a limited palette of plants available for sale because while I have been an enthusiastic amateur grower for may years, the spread of Covid-19 and subsequent decision to 'pack in the day job' came along as fast as one another.
This year will be very different, with huge expansion of the range of plants for sale - still all grown by myself. I feel it's worth repeating that I don't buy plants from wholesalers in order to sell them on, with the exception of garden design commissions. There's no smoke and mirrors, this is very much a cottage industry; the difference being I don't grow 'cottage garden' plants!
So, please browse the list, bear in mind that it is a declaration of intent rather than a list of currently available plants, and do please get in touch if you feel there is something here worthy of remark; I enjoy chatting about plants.
With Best Wishes for the year,
David
