Plant Nursery 2019
Thank you for taking the time to look at my plant list.
All plants are seed raised or divisions and cuttings from the garden
I try to be as accurate with descriptions and naming as possible, but feel free to contact me with corrections or if you wish for more details.
All plants are grown in peat free compost and are from £4 to £15 depending on size and how difficult they are to propagate.
