Harrells Hardy Plants
The home of rare and unusual
Hardy Perennials
GROUP VISITS
Group visits to the nursery can be
booked by prior arrangement. These are great! We spend a lot of time preparing
for them. It’s not just the garden – it’s the catering! Usually our
visitors like to wander round the garden first. (We provide our version of sat-nav
…. a hand-drawn map!!) Then they will wander round the sales area. We had a
party of French and Belgian plant fanatics visit us earlier in the season, and
two of them never got to look round the garden, because they couldn’t tear
themselves away from our ‘fantastic selection of
plants.’
Anyway, usually
after the garden and the sales area, our visitors like to come up to the patio,
sit down and have either a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of our home-made
cakes. We make a selection which may include any of the following: apple, lemon
drizzle, chocolate, coffee & walnut, apple & apricot, orange cakes and
usually some muffins too. Often there’s a selection of biscuits for non-cake
eaters. After that, our visitors stagger off under the weight of cake eaten and,
hopefully, plants bought! It’s a lovely way to enjoy one of life’s greatest
pleasures – looking at gardens & plants. Oh! And the cake-eating is pretty
good too!
