This is a brilliant nursery with a superb range of varieties. Far more than you get in even the best garden centres, selling older, traditional, varieties as well as the latest releases. I have bought fruit trees in the past and been delighted with the results. This time I wanted a few raspberries, to fill in gaps in the row and I chose Malling Promise, an old sort from the 1960/70s. Normally I would go for bare rooted plants, but because I would be away I asked if they were available in pots, which they were. Replies to my queries were prompt and the plants arrived in excellent condition a few days later. What more can one ask.
I am retired now but for many years I was the director of the HDRA, now called Garden Organic, which was then Britain's foremost authority on organic gardening. Chris Bowers supplied many of the fruit trees and bushes grown at our national demonstration centre and I thoroughly recommend them. This nursery is a real gem!
