Plant Centre - Herbaceous Perennial Specialist
At 'The Barn' you will find one of the best plant centres in the North West. Concentrating mainly on herbaceous perennials we have a huge collection of these valuable garden plants.
All our plants are sold in large pots and are clearly labelled with information that we have verified and written ourselves. By growing the perennials ourselves on our own nursery we can honestly tell our customers whether they are hardy or not in this area.
Our staff are dedicated and knowledgeable but not afraid to admit that they will need to check our extensive library if they they can't answer your question.
