A Plant Lovers paradise at trade prices
Northsky, my service provider, has managed to completely trash my efficient on line catalogue, so to get a proper one you'll have to e mail us and we'll send one on to you. But to give you a flavour of what we do:-

Eucalyptus, grasses, herbs, flowers, trees, shrubs, ornamentals, living Christmas trees - anything that looks interesting, we will try to grow. If you want plants of better quality, get better service and at a cheaper price, support your local nursery, wherever you are.


Eucalyptus
50 different species, some which only grow to three ft(about a metre) some of which are massive. We know what we grow, and can find a type to suit your garden size, soil, colour preference, background - and if there isn't one, we'll tell you that as well. You'll also find our prices realistic - most of our gum trees start at £3.00 in a 3 litre pot, but if you want hedging, we can probably do you 10 plants @ £20 for a good selection in 2 litre pots. You get a hedge in the first year, without the problems leylandii brings.
Grasses
Apart from Stipa gigantea, which we are still trying to get, we now have all the grasses which we think are worthwhile. Over thirty perennial types, in a wide range of colours, variegation, heads, sizes, there is like to be a suitable grass to suit any location - unless you want to plant on top of the matterhorn or something. Lemon grass has the virtue of being useful as a herb and houseplant, but it's tender and won't survive outdoors in winter
Herbs
Culinary herbs come in a huge range of forms. From lemon grass mentioned before, to Bay trees, via mints, oregano hopleys - flowers suited to a place in the border - Chinese chives, ordinary chives, basil, bush basil - they deserve a garden to themselves. And the fragrance! Mmmm. Just brushing a rosemary or monardella on the way past is enough to perfume the air. And if you are diabetic, replacing sugar with lippia dulcis keeps your palate happy.
Flowers
The backbone of any garden, woodland or other, is the flowers that spring into bloom, often when least expected. Woodland floor flowers have evolved to erupt in Spring, before the leaf canopy forms... trace the rest for yourself. There are plants such as Thalictrum which grow up through shrubs and suddenly produce a magnificent spray of flowers, looking like a flowering shrub, long after the shrub has finished flowering...

A bit of research, a bit of imagination, and the whole world of life is yours to enjoy

Trees (other than Eucalpts)
Despite being "specialists" in eucalypts, we actually offer a wide variety of trees, many more species than we have of Eucalypts. Even conifers are now crawling into double figures.

It is time we put an end to the Myth of "indigenous species" though. Ten thousand years ago, there was a land bridge between here and the continent. It got flooded. The trees moving in could no longer cross. But the temperature kept rising, the rainfall kept dropping, and our "indigenous" species are no longer well suited to our climate. We need new species, like now. We have them
Shrubs
We do hundreds of these - evergreen, stem colour, flowering in spring, summer, autumn, winter, filling spaces, breaking wind, rapid growing, slow, small large medium - Get the message? Shrubs for any occasion, any purpose
Ornamentals
Apart from flowers, many plants have ornamental value because of their shape and form, the colour of foliage, fruit, autumn effects and so on. In our commercial catalogue, we include these with flowers as their place is in the flower garden. many ornamental or architectural plants such as cordyline or miscanthus would be under the specific headings of trees and grass respectively. Variegated sage is, of course, found in the herbs section. So the term ornamental means it's pretty and we haven't stuck it somewhere else, but it might not be flowering.
Living Christmas Trees
We have a separate page on this, but not all our conifers make good Christmas trees - mugo pumilo is a dwarf, Pinus patula, (Mexican weping pine) is incredibly beautiful, a bit tender and not Christmas tree shaped at all.

Exotic Hedging
Why peeps grow privet when there are shrubs like Euc. acaiaformis or Piptanthus nepalensis I do not know. For no more than the cost of these common, boring hedge plants, you can have an exciting hedge from us a lot quicker, without the problems that many other hedges have. Ask for more info.

Rabbit Proof
I goota get this done, but I'm tired, nite all
