Welcome to Pottertons Nursery
Specialist Nursery for Alpines, Dwarf Bulbs and Woodland Plants
GREETINGS. We are a traditional family run specialist nursery which grows and supplies an extensive selection of Alpines, Dwarf Bulbs and Woodland plants by Mail Order or at the many horticultural shows and lectures we attend throughout the UK & Europe or direct to customers from our nursery located in Lincolnshire, England.
The nursery was opened in 1971 and since then we have conducted our mail order business through a printed, fully descriptive catalogue in paper format, although the relatively recent boom in internet use has resulted in an increasing proportion of orders been taken through this web site. If you live in the UK and require a copy of our catalogue please send 6 x first class stamps with your address to the nursery.
Our 2010 catalogues are included on this site and orders may be made using the secure on-line ordering systems. If you require any advice or assistance please contact the nursery by e-mail and you will receive a prompt reply. We can supply our full range to customers throughout the UK & Europe, but a reduced range to customers elsewhere. See Terms of Business rest of the world under Business info for further details.
The nursery is open to visitors February to the end of October, Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00am till 4.00pm, also open on Bank Holiday Mondays. Between November and January we are only open by confirmed appointment . Our sales area is kept well stocked with an extensive selection and expert, friendly advice or assistance is offered if required during your visit. You may also walk around our extensively planted, landscaped gardens which includes large rockeries, raised walls, troughs, island beds and woodland garden.
