Raffle and plant sales table
The Nursery was set up on a small holding in the North Pennines purchased by my parents in the early 1970s and is now run by my wife and myself. After leaving school I decided to give my father some help for one year before I was going to go off to university but having become involved with the plants and the setting up of the Nursery I decided to stay and make this my career – a very extended “Gap Year”. We are the highest Alpine Plant Nursery in the UK (at just over 1000 feet above sea level) and have been trading here in the North Pennines for over 40 years now.
