Botany Bay Nursery

07/11/2026

The nursery is now officially closed for the winter. Without wishing to be confusing, I will still be there every Wednesday (weather permitting) with my fabulous volunteers and also some Saturdays and Sundays, as there’s loads to do to get ready for 2027 to bring you even more beautiful and resilient coastal perennials at sensible prices. So, if the gate is open, we are open. And if anyone is looking for anything in particular or needs any help, just give me a shout as I’m always happy to help!
This year has been tough to say the least and every purchase is hugely appreciated, so thanks to each and every one of you for supporting your local nursery.
See you in 2027!

My job for the day: moving plants from water-filled trays onto the benches for the winter. Plants here are grown outdoors and have to get through whatever the winter throws at them. This results in (sometimes a little windswept, but) the toughest and most resilient plants, that I can almost guarantee will survive when you get them home.
1 bench done…only another 7 to go! 🤣

Due to the stormy weather and wall to wall rain that’s coming, the nursery will be CLOSED tomorrow (Saturday) but will be open on Sunday instead, when hopefully the weather will be back to something more like this photo! Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Also remember that our end of season sale continues and MOST 1, 2 and 3 litre perennials are 3 for £10! We’re almost giving them away (you’re welcome).
Next year, these same plants will be priced at somewhere between £7 and £13 each, depending on the plant. Now is the perfect time for planting, the soil is warm and no need for continual watering!
Open Sunday 10am until 3pm 🌱

Usually by this point in the year, the nursery would be closed. This year, we are still open Wednesdays and Saturdays 10am-4pm. PO33 1XS.
Now is the perfect time for planting - the soil is still warm from summer and plants have time to get established before winter. This means that next Spring, your plants will usually power up and flower earlier and better than if you plant in Spring.
We are also running a HUGE end of season sale, where many perennials in large 2 and 3 litre pots are 3 for £10!!
Spades at the ready! 🌱

I’d massively appreciate it if anyone has the time and inclination to leave the nursery a review on Google. All feedback gratefully received ☺️

Verbena bonariensis £3 per 1L pot, perfect for coastal planting or mixing with ornamental grasses to create that floaty, swaying in the wind feel.
All Hemerocallis/Day Lillies £5 per 3L pot, great for a vibrant pop of mid-summer colour in shades of orange and pink.
Open Saturdays and Wednesdays 10am-4pm, Fakenham Farm, PO33 1XS.

Some corrections to make:

To the person who bought two Potentilla ‘Monarch’s Velvet’ yesterday, I’m afraid you’ve accidentally been given some lovely yellow Geums.

And earlier this year, I definitely sold some Leucanthemum that I thought was Succisella and some Amsonia that I said was Baptisia.

Sorry to all and please feel free to return for a swap or refund!
