The nursery is open to visit Fridays 9-5pm and Saturdays 9-2pm from April 11th to September 27th (and other times by appointment)
As a small independent nursery where we grow and propagate as much as we can, we believe we understand the plants we sell.
On a trip to our nursery we are able to offer you specialist help and advice as part of your visit.
By purchasing from the grower we are able to help you get the right plants for your garden.
We are experienced gardeners, growers and RHS Chelsea gold exhibitors.
We specialise in replanting and renovating borders and gardens for local people in their private gardens, providing our insight and the right plants for the purpose.
If you would like a no obligation consultation please contact us for more details.

Bates Green Garden was designed and planted by the late Carolyn McCutchan over a period of many years from 1968. The tranquil 1.5-acre garden surrounds the farmhouse, which was originally a gamekeepers cottage built circa 1814. The 5.5-acre Wildflower Meadow with its mown paths and seating allows visitors to relax and observe the diversity of flora and fauna within.
