We now stock a wide range of native wild flower plants for your garden. Our plants are grown from seed or by division from our nursery or we buy plug plants and pot on from a reputable source, they are not taken from the wild. Many wild plants when given space will thrive in your flower border, especially plants such as Red Campion.
