Weasdale Nurseries Catalogue

Weasdale Nurseries was established in 1950 on the northern edge of the Howgill Fells in Cumbria, at an elevation of 850 feet (260m). As one of the highest establishments of its kind in the country, it grows trees and shrubs in conditions far removed from the rich lowland soils of a typical nursery, producing uniquely hardy stock for gardeners willing to pay a little more for something out of the ordinary.

Hardy Trees and Shrubs

Because of its high, exposed location, Weasdale Nurseries is able to offer plants that are tough, slow grown and genuinely hardy. These qualities mean the trees and shrubs can be planted in any part of the country with maximum success.

Careful Packing and Delivery

The nursery's open-ground grown plants are carefully packed and shipped during the period of winter dormancy, from early November until mid-late April, ready for planting in their new surroundings. Customers throughout EC Europe are served by these methods.

Over the decades, the nursery's packaging techniques, materials and delivery methods have evolved to ensure that:

• Your plants will not dry out in transit
• Your plants will not be broken or damaged in transit
• Your plants will not overheat in transit
• Everything is recyclable
• All the plants will unpack as fresh as the day they were lifted from the nursery
