Nursery Plant Group

Co-ordinator:  Caroline Dabrus

Gerry has always volunteered in the nursery.  He loves to chat with visitors and give their dogs treats. Here he poses in his ‘tea room’ apron.

Behind every great garden is a good nursery! The Nursery uses cuttings and plant division as well as seeds sourced from their native habitat and private gardens to provide Government House garden stock. Plants are also sold to the public in the summer. Proceeds support the gardens.
Primulas and blue poppies are of special interest to the Nursery which raises a range of deer-resistant plants suited for woodland gardens.
