If you find yourself in deepest Kent (UK) this summer, maybe visiting the wonderful gardens at Sissinghurst, you could do far worse than follow the path to Hawkhurst and check out this charming nursery in a walled garden, complete with Victorian greenhouses.
At The Walled Nursery they are passionate about their plants, but they do enjoy a garden with a little whimsy. Which is why you'll find a wonderful selection of vintage garden tools for sale; bunting hung between the green houses and plants housed in the most unusual places!
I find that buying plants in a place like this, is way more inspirational than in a traditional garden centre. I return home my mind filled with visions of rambling roses and rampant raspberries, all fired up to rework my own garden.
If you want to find out more about this wonderful nursery, or find out where they are showing their plants during the summer, you can also check out their facebook page
Over the next few days I shall be in sunny Provence, so the blog will be picture rich and light on words for a few days.
Thank you for reading me, you are the best!

I love everything about this place. It has characters galore and as you've said "inspirational". Not only beautiful plants, but a person can find lots of ideas to vamp up the garden. Enjoy sunny Provence! xo
ReplyDeleteI prefer to purchase plants from greenhouses. The plants are much healthier and the variety much larger. I also love strolling in and out of them and find it to be a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon. I love the bunting! :)
ReplyDeleteWe love beautiful Kent and, of course, the white garden at Sissinghurst! Will definitely check out this nursery. I love to handle / buy vintage garden tools, cans, etc.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Provence, Sharon!
Cheers from DC,

i wish we had glass greenhouses its so much more charming but they are harder to maintain. Thanks for the tour I may pin a few for my files. Maybe someday we'll buy an old glass one from an old farm.
