A hidden gem. Well stocked nursery with extensive selection and friendly staff on hand to give sound advice.
We visited by chance an excellent nursery, Downside Nurseries in Upper Westwood BA15 2DE near Bradford-on-Avon, open every day. It was clear from the moment when we entered that the stock was of excellent quality and the love and care given to each item stood out a mile. These people really know what they’re talking about. We have no intention of buying anything when we arrived but…. You know the way it is.
Lovely strong plants and really good prices. ****1st class every time
If you live in Bath or West-Wiltshire this is the definitive plant nursery of the area. Not a garden centre, but a superbly managed proper nursery with a huge range of the highest quality plants / shrubs you could wish to find. The staff are all knowledgable and extremely helpful and their Internet newsletter rates with the very best in the trade!Situated in the delightful small village of Westwood, just 9 miles from Bath, it is always a joy to visit this exceptional nursery.
I have been a professional gardener and garden designer for 20 years and have always used Downside. The plants are wonderful, always in tip top condition with an ever changing range, that keeps up with fashions, you can also always find the old favourites we turn to time after time. Lorraine is amazing, her knowledge is encyclopedic and she is always happy to put our a search to her vast range of contacts for a specific plant if she doesn't stock.
A wonderful proper nursery. Excellent collection of plants all in lovely condition. No fancy stuff, just lots and lots of healthy plants. A pleasure to visit and always full of interest.
