Plants & Garden

A century of seasons.

Our nursery has an old-world feel because we like to take our lead from nature and do things the traditional way.

The Frame Yard

The Frame Yard at Holden Clough is home to the original growing beds that date back to 1927, when the nursery was first established. Stroll among the beds and you’ll find thousands of home-grown plants grouped by the conditions and style of garden they suit best, making it easy to find the right plant for the right place.

The Growing Field

Our plants live outside all year round whatever the weather — you won’t find any polytunnels in our growing fields. This means hardiness is bred into our plants, so unlike those you can buy elsewhere, they won’t go into shock when you take them home.

Down by the Beck

Holden Beck trickles through our land, creating a peaceful corner to stop for a moment and breathe. Draw inspiration for your garden from our calming English meadow style planting, and observe the wildlife going about its business.

The Potting Shed

Pick up a new spade, a ball of string or a packet of seeds in The Potting Shed. Our friendly team members are on hand to help you choose tools and equipment that make working in your garden so much easier.
