Oakedge Nursery

Yvonne has always been fascinated by plant propagation so when our friend Paul Hutchinson (from Belshazzar’s Feast & Hoover the Dog) offered us his 45’ x 15’ polytunnel quite a number of years ago, we couldn’t resist. The first year was brilliant with fantastic vegetables and salad crops. We were then introduced to vegetable plug plant production and that is when we started our Mail Order business which was highly recommended by Gardening Which? magazine. We grew a huge range of vegetable plants but with the increase in postal charges we decided to call it a day. However, we still grow the varieties but sell them at local Farmer’s Markets.

We decided to create a Cottager’s Nursery, growing many of the plants that you would have seen in a cottage garden eg Vegetables, Salads, Herbs, Fruit Bushes and Trees together with Cottage Garden Perennials.
We have demonstration raised beds with examples of plants available for sale. All plants are grown from seed under cover with peat free or reduced peat compost. We use organic compost where possible.
Plug plants are propagated under cover. All trays are hand sown and free of sprays.
