Barhi Garden - Nurseries and Other Suppliers
Nurseries
The plants at Barhi have come from a wide range of nurseries. I tend to avoid garden centers and search out nurseries that actually grow the plants themselves.
This way, not only do I get expert advice on the requirements of an individual plant, but also I am supporting local growers, reduce plant miles and have some wonderful days out meeting amazing plantsmen and women.
The RHS Plant Finder and Nursery Finder are invaluable resources when looking for nurseries. However, they do not list every nursery, sometimes just driving past and popping in can still be a great way to find that special plant.
Some of our current favourite nurseries are:
- Apple Court, Lymington. Tel - 01590 642130
