Brilliant nursery, wish I lived nearer. The plants here are superb, mostly nurtured on site not shipped in. We first went here years ago when we wanted a specialist fence paint but the plants and the choice is even better now.
The prices are very fair for this quality and they also stock a big range of the sundry items like rose food etc. Good pots at reasonable prices.
Nurseries like this are hard to find. Worth the trip.

The best garden centre I've been to in a long time. I went for a specialist tree that I tracked down online and called them beforehand to check they were still in.
It was and when I purchased it, I got a personal service of how to plant and what additional items I could get to help my tree be successful.
I'd also say that the setting was so beautiful it took my breath away. I literally skipped in it made me so happy.
If you're looking for a hidden gem, this one will make your heart sing!

Had such a lovely experience with Donnington Nurseries recently. Prior to visiting, we had communication over email and phone where my questions were answered promptly.
On visiting, they could not have been more helpful. We had plenty of questions and found them very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend.
