Visiting Us
We welcome visitors to the nursery during the growing season. Our open times are detailed below and we will be available to help you at these times. If you are unable to visit during these hours, please feel free to contact us and we can arrange to be available at a time that suits you. Lots of people do this and we welcome pre-arranged visits out of hours. Please note, the garden and wildflower meadow are only open on National Garden Scheme Open Days, although there is the option to arrange a private visit through the NGS 'by arrangement 'scheme.
