Our aim is to supply you with a choice of the finest quality plants from more than 3000 varieties of herbaceous perennials, trees and shrubs that will thrive in your garden. We offer a larger range of plants and trees (specimen sizes) than you’d generally find at garden centres. Our selection includes:
Seasonal and Special Occasions
If you are looking for the best seasonal and special occasion flowers and shrubs of the highest quality you need look no further than Downside Nurseries. Whether you want to plant up a completely new garden, a border, or container for your patio, we’ll have just the right plants for you.
And if your scheme is ‘large’ and you’ll need hundreds of plants, please let us know ahead. If you need cutting material please let us know by the previous September, and seed-raised material by January at the latest.
Bringing You The Latest Varieties
Here at Downside, we regularly trial new varieties, testing for garden performance and disease resistance. Sometimes you can find a new variety of plant here well before it becomes generally available!
Supplying Garden Landscapers
Professional landscapers are invited to register with us for a trade discount card.
We are happy to support landscapers with quality plants for show gardens and trade stands at national events, eg Chelsea, Hampton Court and Malvern. Many of the varieties featured at Chelsea and other national shows are seasonably available at Downside Nurseries. You may like to visit our Local Landscapers page.
