Welcome to Pottertons Nursery
ALL 2017 CATALOGUES ARE NOW ON-LINE
NURSERY OPEN BY APPOINTMENT only from OCTOBER to FEBRUARY
GREETINGS. We welcome visitors to the nursery Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm, from March to September and at other times of the year by appointment only. Our extensive sales area is restocked weekly, offering a huge range of Alpines, Dwarf Bulbs and Woodland plants. We have a beautiful 5 acre garden including a large rockery and pool, raised beds, crevice garden, troughs and woodland garden. Expert advice is freely available. Why not plan a visit soon.
We are a traditional family run specialist nursery which grows and supplies an extensive selection by MAIL ORDER and at the many shows or lectures we attend, throughout UK and Europe or directly from our nursery.
The nursery was opened in 1971 and since then we have conducted our mail order business through our printed, fully descriptive catalogue in paper format, although the relatively recent boom in internet use has resulted in an increasing proportion of orders been taken through this web site. If you live in the UK and require a copy of our catalogue please send 6 x first class stamps with your address to the nursery.
Our current catalogues are included on this site and orders may be made using the secure on-line ordering systems. If you require advice or assistance contact the nursery by e-mail and you will receive a prompt reply. We can supply our full range by mail order to customers throughout the UK and Europe but no longer send outside of the EU.
We are extensively a mail order business but the nursery does have limited opening. From 21 October 2016 we are open by appointment only and from 23 February 2017, Tuesday to Saturday 10.00am to 4.00pm. Pre-booked, confirmed orders may be collected on a visit and friendly advice or assistance is offered.
You may also walk freely around our extensively planted landscaped gardens which includes large rockeries, raised walls, troughs, island beds and woodland garden.
