What would you like to grow?
Every plant is nurtured from seed or cutting right here in our back garden nursery.
Our family
A back-garden nursery, grown together.
What started as a few seed trays on the kitchen windowsill became a greenhouse, then a polytunnel, then a proper little nursery. The children help with sowing, labelling and watering — they're getting very good at telling a sweet pea seedling from a weed.
- Grown from seed in peat-free compost
- Hardened off properly before they leave us
- Honest advice — we tell you when a batch isn't right

Beginner gardening
All beginner guides →Honest advice from a small family nursery
No jargon, no upsell. Just the things we wish we'd known when we started.
Start with what you'll eat
A pot of mint, a tomato plant, a basil. Small wins build confidence.
Water in the morning
Plants drink up before the heat, and slugs are less interested in dry leaves.
Don't fuss over the soil
Peat-free multipurpose is fine for most things. Save the special compost for the special plants.
Local collection
Come and meet your plants at the garden gate.
A small family-run nursery serving Bristol, Mangotsfield, Downend, Emersons Green, Kingswood and the wider South Gloucestershire area. Collection by friendly arrangement — just message us and we'll set aside what you need. Local delivery coming this summer.

Kind words from down the road
We're a tiny nursery — every review means a lot.
"Loveliest sweet peas I've grown. Properly hardened off and arrived in great nick."
"I'm a complete beginner. They talked me through everything — felt like buying from a friend."
"Our garden has never looked happier. The cottage perennials have settled in beautifully."
