Will and Louise Friend in the Nursery at East Northdown Farm

Here at Botany plants we specialise in the production of plants for garden designers and those who love gardening. We are a small, friendly, family run business that owns two plant nurseries; one located in Margate, Kent (Kent plant nursery map) and the other at Mucklestone near Market Drayton on the border of Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire {Staffordshire Plant Nursery Map). At our Kent plant nursery we specialise in coping with the problems of growing plants in chalky, coastal conditions and are always happy to give advice and select plants for a particular situation. Our second plant nursery at Mucklestone in Shropshire specialises in Woodland and Meadow plants. i.e. those plants better suited to the cooler, wetter, more acidic conditions prevalent in the north and west of Britain.

Our aim is to make it easy for busy garden designers and enthusiastic gardeners to source good quality, healthy plants to use in their creations. To this end you can choose your plants from our online plant list that is available in PDF or Excel format. To find more click ordering plants from botanyplants.co.uk

Visits to East Northdown Farm Plant Nursery

Posted by William Friend on September 25, 2006

THERE'S something different about the plant nursery at East Northdown Farm. For a start there are no massed pots of tender plants hot off a lorry from Holland here. Instead there are more resilient plants propagated from stock that has been proven to suit chalk soil, low rainfall and drying north easterly winds - conditions they face in the farm's garden, a mere salty breeze from Margate, Kent.
