THE NURSERY
The nursery (est.1985) specialises in Herbs and Herbaceous Perennials.
The plants for sale can all be seen growing in the garden which
acts as a stock bed for the Nursery. We have some exciting new
varieties of Iris, Lavenders and Geraniums this year.
We offer a personal service to visitors being available to help with advice and plant selection.

Mulberry Trees
The mulberry tree, known as Morus nigra (Black) or Morus alba Pendula (Weeping) is a fruit tree ideal for large or small gardens. Both trees make beautiful specimen plants which are easily trained. The mulberry tree produces delicious fruit that turn dark red when ripe; the fruits resemble raspberries, but have a more wholesome flavour and, as soon as they’re ripe, the berries fall from the tree. Mulberry leaves are also fed to silkworms. The tree grows well in almost any soil, and likes full sun or light shade; it can also tolerate coastal situations.
Interestingly, mulberries seem to have a unique defence against fungi, although this hasn’t been fully researched. They don’t appear to succumb to fungal diseases when mature, and mushrooms won’t grow close to them.
Black Standard Morus nigra £22.00 in 5-10 litre pots
Weeping Morus alba Pendula £22.00 |
