Our Nursery

Our Nursery is on one site situated on the outskirts of Blofield village, near Norwich. The site consists of 4.2 hectares, with hedging on its boundaries. There are three main areas of glass, a propagation house, and various stock areas, some are covered another is planted up in a wooded area. The conservation wood was planted in 1986 on an area to the east of the site.

 

There is an outside stock area and a tunnel housing the Camellia stock plants, the wood has also been planted up with stock plants, thus making us self sufficient. We are still doing trials on some new Camellia varieties, for which we have the sole rights of. 

 

The plants are delivered by nursery transport on Danish trolleys across Europe.
