We grow a wide variety of culinary and ornamental herbs together with herbaceous perennials and alpines.

Most of the plants grown are suitable for sunny, free draining sites. Stock plants can be seen growing naturally and in containers.

Plants are for sale in 9 cm pots which are ideal for planting direct in the spring and summer months or growing on in containers. Prices vary between £1.25 and £2.75. Some cultivars are also offered in larger, one litre pots incorporating long lasting fertiliser. These cost between £2.25 and £3.75.

The nursery is surrounded by wildlife: full use is made of introduced and naturally occurring predators for pest control.

We are situated in a small valley leading to the beautiful Dyffryn Meifod where the Banwy and Vyrnwy rivers meet. Although 600 ft high, it is south facing and sheltered from the north and east. Surrounded by forest and farmland it is reached by a quiet road from Guilsfield to Meifod.

Meifod, the 'halfway dwelling' is a large community geographically and one with a long history. The village, once having a blacksmith, wheelwright, butcher, tailor, draper and three inns is now served by a post office, pub, two garages and a thriving school.

It is situated in a wide valley carrying the Afon Efyrnwy, the River Vyrnwy, flowing from south west to north east. The valley supports fertile farm land and is overlooked by Broniarth Hill, Dyffryn Hill and Allt y Main at 365 m.

Nearby Mathrafal is said to be the ancient seat of the Princes of Powys. Welshpool is 7 miles distant; there can be found the terraced gardens of Powys Castle and the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway offering a leisurely ride across the hills of Montgomeryshire. Slightly further afield are Lake Vyrnwy, eleven miles in circumference, supplying water to Liverpool, 70 miles distant, and the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth, demonstrating practical solutions to the environmental problems of the day.
