In the 1990s I used to visit Bradley's herb nursery in Wylam regularly. It was owned by the Potters and it was a magical place to visit, and not just for buying things.
After 20 years of not having my own garden (rented or places I knew would be temporary homes) I am now in a position to grow my dream garden.
I have a blank canvas of lawn to create a cottage garden.
I have searched for a place like Bradley's but everything is either a garden centre or online
So, does anyone know of nurseries which stock herbs, perennials, unusual (aka unpopular) plants in Wiltshire or Hampshire? Ones that are preferably open now.
When I lived in Basingstoke there were a couple of nice garden centres (one on the Reading Road and one near the crematorium) but I was hoping Wiltshire would have a better choice. Garden centres all stock the same stuff, usually annuals, Roses and common shrubs. Herbs are always mint and parsley.
Any hidden gems out there?
TIA
