​​​IMPORTANT NEWS...........
​
​PERFECT PERENNIALS WILL BE CLOSED FOR 2026
​
​The nursery and I will be taking a break next year.
Over the 21 years the nursery has grown, the customer base has grown,
the number of plants produced each year has grown
as has the number of varieties, and the hedging has certainly grown.!!
The last few years I have really struggled to keep on top of everything
and fighting the constantly changing weather has been draining.​
​​
Our projected final day will be 30th September 2025.
​
I want to thank every one of you for supporting my little business over
the last 21 years, you have enabled me to make my dream come true.
​
I hope to see you soon, Darren.​​​​​

Layout:
When I set out the nursery in 2004 I knew I had to be clever with the layout. Being in a very exposed site and fairly high, wind is a big problem so i came up with the idea of low "box" hedging to protect the plants from the worst of the weather. Not wanting the problem of box blight I used Lonicera Nitida instead. I hope you will agree it makes for a very interesting visit as it takes a good walk to see all of our plants!

The Wildlife:
I'm passionate about plants and nature, and do my best to encourage wildlife into the nursery and beyond. The nursery is always filled with bees, butterflies and birds, Blackbirds and Robins and Blue Tits chatter to me all day, Buzzards float by overhead and long tailed tits pay a fleeting visit. The local woodpeckers will often visit our nut feeder. Even the dreaded Sparrowhawk will dive through the nursery occasionally. Hedgehogs can often be found by torchlight eating the slugs and snails (no poisonous slug pellets are used here). Ladybirds are often moved onto Lupins to eat the greenfly and we have a bumblebee hive so that the bees can take advantage of the flowers on site,​​​
