This is our small scale personal nursery where we grow common and unusual plants using various propagation methods i.e. growing seedlings from seed, tubers or cuttings. The aim is to build a steady supply of plants for our own use and to encourage others to get started with their own gardens. This way we can provide a wide variety of plants often not available in local garden centers.
Please note that new pictures will be added to all galleries on an ongoing basis, so please check back every once in a while.
