Mid year already, where does the time go?

We get so many lovely comments about the nursery and gardens and our fabulous Quercus team. If you are still looking for a reason to visit, here are some reviews customers have left on line about Quercus

If you haven't left a review and would like to, please do on Facebook and Google. Thank you from us all here at Quercus x 

The agave won but it is re-potted and in its new home in my new greenhouse, home at last.

Thursday is tidying and restocking the sales area day and it is bursting with so many fabulous plants. Whether you are looking for shade plants, trees, shrubs, wildflowers, grasses, climbers, seasonal interest, herbs or alpines you are sure to find a special plant to take home. you can also buy from the stock beds where you will find our perennials.

Also in the sales area you will find out door pots, both ceramic and those made from recycled ocean plastic. In the wee shop indoor pots, garden gifts, decorative garden items, string lines, string, cards and so much more and of course peat free compost.

We have 3 reduced bronze pots left, so be quick if you want one. Some rhodos still reduced to £10 and heathers are now half price!

If you cant find what you are looking for please ask one of the team for help.

Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm.

See you soon

Blues and purples in the nursery garden this week. There is so much flowering and looking good, its hard to keep up with it all

As mentioned earlier in the year, we are discontinuing our Primula auriculas this year. They have been selling well and we have a few of the following varieties left. We won't be propagating any more once these have gone.

Primula auricula 'Lemon Sorbet'

Primula auricula 'Kusum Krishna'

Primula auricula 'Sunray'

Primula auricula 'Joy'

Primula auticula 'Calander Park'

Primula auricula 'Osborne Green'

I'm just going to upload a whole lot of fabulousness from the nursery gardens in this post, I've taken so many photos over the past week or two because there's so much looking wonderful.

So here is a round up of June in the gardens. Enjoy

The colour on these californian poppies is amazing! I didn't even plant it, its appearing in the sweet pea trough in the scented garden. A glorious colour and a gift from nature, what's not to love

I better get last weeks round up done before we start another week tomorrow lol.

This week sees the end of June and half way through our 2025 season, hard to believe I know! The weather continues to be varied but warm, hot some days, with rain occasionally too which is great for the plants.

The end is in sight for the annual stockbed tidy as Isabel and I work on the last stock bed, from either end, getting closer and closer. We’ve potted so many plants too to fill up the stock beds, with plenty more potting to go.

Fiona and Erin continue to pot up seedlings and cuttings, and once finished we will all be on to this year propagation, creating plants for next year.

Isabel and I lifted the canopies on some of the trees in the woodland garden which were over hanging the paths and we’ve tied in and pruned the laburnum arch on the bottom terrace.

We had a visit from the Roberton Garden club on Wednesday and I’ve been planting out the last of the annuals and hopefully the hare won’t eat the kale! I am going back through the alpines propagating more to keep stock up, our alpines are very popular.

We are delighted that Isabel will now be with us 3 days a week and Fiona will be in two days instead of just Saturdays. This will mean we can power through all the work quicker and get some of the jobs done that keep falling to the bottom of the list and it will take the pressure off me a wee bit (hopefully) though I’ll always find something to be stressed about lol and we will always (mostly) have two of us in the nursery every day we are open so we can help customers with all their plant purchases and advice.

Lunch at Abbotsford after a hospital appointment this afternoon

From the front garden - I've been working on this painting for the last week. Its been lovely to be able to sit down and do a wee bit paining in the evenings again 

Can you guess the flowers? I wont be offended if not
