Simon and Dawn are retiring after 32 years of living lavender…..and we’re retiring the nursery too!

A big thank you to the many customers who’ve supported us over the years.

It’s been quite an experience creating and running this bijou artisan nursery

and an amazing journey from the little 8′ x 10′ greenhouse in the back garden.

We’re thankful to have been blessed with a great working life in a beautiful part of the English countryside.

There is still a little stock available to order online only, but we’re not propagating anymore, so once it’s gone, it’s gone!

The e-commerce bit of the website will be disabled by March at the latest, although the website will remain live to view.

The UK’s benchmark lavender nursery.

All our lavender and rosemary cultivars are propagated from cuttings on the nursery using our own stock plants.

This means we can guarantee they are true to type.

All our lavender plants and rosemary plants are grown to culinary herb standards.

Welcome to our web site where you can shop online for culinary grade lavender plants and rosemary plants and lavender gifts. We grow and stock a superb range of lavender plants and rosemary plants selected from our vast collection for their culinary, medicinal and decorative use, which is complemented with a great range of goodies. Treat yourself, loved ones or friends to plants, gifts or a voucher. We hope you‘ll agree that this is the definitive guide to buying these wonderful plants for their flowers, their flavour and the wildlife they attract. If after browsing you‘re still unsure which lavenders or rosemaries are best for your purpose, contact us, we‘d be happy to help. We‘ve many other lavenders and rosemaries on the nursery, including some specimens in larger pots. So visit us online or at our nursery in Kent….and one of the many local pubs for a splendid meal!
