As Sacha seems to have moved to Facebook and Twitter I repost this from Hill
House Nursery's Facebook page.....


"Well, a long and interesting discussion here has led us to the idea of
compiling an online list of all the small, independent nurseries in UK. NB
this does not include any chains - 'independent' is the keyword for this.
Ben Cox and Matthew Currie have generously offered their time and expertise
to start exploring the idea and how to go about the technical side of it.
BUT we need absolutely everyone to come in on this and so we need help from
all over the country.

This means every one of us is a representative for our own area or for areas
where you have holidayed and know independent nurseries exist. We need you
to write in, giving the name and location of the nursery and if possible, a
contact email or address. Ask the nurseries you go to, to spread the word
among their nursery owning friends and get them to contact us. Costs are
unknown at present but will be tiny, if any, as this is not a commercial
venture. It's being done to help small, independent nurseries and their
potential customers. There is currently no such source of information even
remotely as comprehensive as this will be.

This is going to take a while to compile and get flying, so please don't
expect an instant result! Please start by emailing any nurseries you know of
(not just your personal favourites) to me at
and encourage your friends, local gardening group, WI etc. to do the same
with Online Nursery Guide in the subject heading.
."

Whilst it is intended as a list of those you can visit, there is hope that
others that sell at shows and association meetings will be included provided
it is the main source of income, please exclude those who do it as a hobby,
perhaps prop a few Pels in their greenhouse, as this is meant to be a
professional list.
