Plant Nursery
Retail plant nursery providing all your garden requirements
from exotic house plants to trees, shrubs and pots all

The nursery has been here for over 40 years and was started
when Tom was given 1000 rose bushes for his 12th birthday;
from then the nursery has developed to grow almost everything
a gardener would wish for. This is not a regular Garden
Centre but a family-run business and a very special place.

A Note from Tom:
I was brought up on the Farm (Pot House Mill Farm) and
was thus engaged in its many activities from an early
age. Although my father’s main interest was in farming,
he encouraged my wish to develop the horticultural and
rose growing aspects of the business. When I was twelve
years old he bought me 1000 rose bushes and with his help
and guidance in cultivation and propagation I had increased
my stock to 50000 within a few years. In the time that
followed I was very much a rose specialist and very enthusiastically
involved in producing new varieties and exhibiting at
all the major shows and won many awards.
As I took over the task of running the farm I expanded
the nursery, increasing enormously the range of plants,
trees, and shrubs under cultivation. I now grow almost
everything a gardener would need. Building work was necessary,
not only to accommodate the expanding volume of products
and ever increasing number of customers, but also enhance
the natural beauty of the site.
Today the farming and nursery activities run side by
side and compliment each other. I am proud to say that
owing to the hard work and efforts of my family the birth
of Pot House Hamlet has been possible, which is now a
very productive place, and there is still plenty of potential
for more interesting developments in the future. I am
very lucky to have my wife, my three daughters and my
son working around me on site at Pot House Hamlet. I look
forward to you visiting soon.
