Pick of the Independent Nurseries

Stillingfleet Lodge Nursery just south of York is a place that those in the  know  will make a large detour to visit. The garden that surrounds the 18th century farmhouse features superb cottage garden planting and there are also long herbaceous borders, a wildflower walk and a natural pond.  With so much to inspire it will be hard to resist picking up something for your own garden from the nursery which specialises in unusual perennials.  Take note though that they only accept cash or cheques – no credit cards.
