The site

There are lots of pictures on our blog pages too!

Barlow Nurseries site before we arrived

Before

We have transformed a semi-derelict field into a nursery; as you can see from the photo here, when we moved in we inherited little more than Ragwort (although in fact, the photo is misleading – there was also a healthy selection of brambles, nettles, bindweed, and a wide selection of more or less rusty bits of fence, barbed wire, and ageing farm equipment).

Thankfully, the weeds have now gone, and we have replaced them with a selection of polytunnels, sales and standing out areas for our plants.

Sales area

The first sales area we had -
dwarfed these days by other areas on the site!

Shade tunnel

The shade tunnel

Not just for shade loving plants, this very useful structure helps many of our plants withstand the heat of high summer.

The multi-span

used mostly for propagated
stock prior to final potting.

The front tunnel

Our first “big” tunnel, here shown in early spring with the first batch of (recently planted) hanging baskets, and newly-potted herbaceous plants lined out on the floor.

Trees

We have many hundreds of trees in stock, ranging from modest ornamentals for small gardens to huge forest trees for country estates!
