9 January 2008 We drank champagne today - ten years to the day that we arrived in Norfolk to set up our nursery. More important than the nursery providing us with a living, we are still completely in love with the project. If you have a dream - pursue it.

Mid-November 2007: We are starting our annual winter task of updating our database - welcome work when it’s cold and grey and outside.  The database allows us to keep order over the wide variety of plants we sell - more than 6,000 species and varieties since we started nine years ago - as well as print labels, maintain this website and, importantly, allow us to return our data to the RHS for inclusion in each succesive edition of the Plant Finder.

Although we have only just started keying in new data and removing redundant records we thought it might interesting to put in here a brief taster of just some of the herbaceous perennials we will be stocking during 2008.  We haven’t had the time to put any more information into the system so at the moment it’s a bit bald - detailed descriptions will follow in due course.

If any of these take your fancy why not drop us a line and we can reserve plants for you for collection or mail order next year?
