A list of our extensive range of potted trees is now available on this web site. The list also includes our excellent selection of Glenacres fruit bushes, unusual plants like Lingonberry and Honeyberry are there as well as all the favourites. Fruit trees for just £14.95 is a real bargain and there’s no VAT on them…..oh, and don’t miss the trained fruit trees, a little more money but well worth it.

New seasons Rhododendrons arriving next week. Dwarf varieties in 2ltr pots plus many varieties of hybrids and Yaks in 5 & 10 ltr pots. Azalea japonica arriving shortly. All the Daffs, Crocus, tete a tete and Hyacinths are just perfect for planting and selling! MAJOR ROAD WORKS are being carried out on the main Canford Bottom roundabout nearby to Glenacres Nursery. These are going to be in place until June by all accounts and will affect all our local roads. Throughout the course of the roadworks our local roads are going to be partly closed. Local traffic will be able to exit from our road and all the other roads back onto the Canford bottom roundabout and then journey on home via the A31 only. Traffic will not be able to use the Roundabout to enter any of the local roads such as ours only exit. This means that to get to our Nursery you will need to approach from a different direction than you normally would. From Bournemouth or Poole you will need to approach via Longham and then through Stapehill lane past the Blueberry farm and turn left at the old thatch pub. From Ringwood dont use the ferndown bypass but turn off and come past sainsburys Ferndown and come through to us via the old A31 which is the eastern end of our road anyway. From Dorchester & Wimborne you have the option of dropping down into Bournemouth and then following the route through Longham or you can travel east on the A31 and then turn off after the Canford bottom roundabout at the Ferndown Industrial estate turn off where you need to go through the estate then turn right at the far end, come past the old thatch and we are on the left 100 yds past wimborne garden centre, If your coming from Shaftesbury or North dorset then its best to approach via the Horton inn and onto the A31 nearer Ferndown. If you need clearer directions please don’t hesitate to call. All this hassle has been brought on us by local governments insistance that This years summer Olympics sailing at Weymouth goes without a hitch and the traffic heading to it doesn’t get held up. IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE IF YOU ARE VISITING US WHILE THESE WORKS ARE ON TO TRY AND ARRIVE DURING THE DAY ONCE THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HAS CLEARED. Saturdays tend to be busy at any time in this area because of the holiday traffic.
We have a huge range of some 250 varieties of 2ltr Shrubs available for 2012 including variegated Daphne odora, several varieties of Coprosma, new varieties of cordylines etc etc. We have at least Fifty varieties of Heucheras and Heucherella arriving throughout the spring and summer along with all the usual favourites.

We have added Goji Berries, Choke berries and Figs for 2012. Becase our website features quite high in the Google search lists we are getting a lot of enquiries from people requiring deliveries around the country. Please note we are a Wholesale Cash & Carry only that you need to visit, choose your own plants and then take them away. We can undertake delivery locally, at cost but are unable to send plants around the country at present. If you live within a reasonable travelling distance of us then its well worth coming and having a look round.. We dont have the staff or the resources to cope with mail order. We have a two acres nursery here in Dorset that is bursting at the seams with a huge selection of plants for people to choose from. Most of these are grown by ourselves on another nursery that we rent nearby specially for the purpose and then moved to our home nursery when they are ready to be sold. Under no circumstances are we able to accept planting lists from Landscapers and property developers, we just don’t have the time to do the searching around the nursery for you. If you visit our cash & carry you need to be able to spend the time choosing your own plants for your planting schemes. That way you get the best plants available to you at that time. If you require larger quantities of a particular type of plant and we dont have them in stock we will always do our best to source them for you at a good price. We have many contacts both here in the UK and in Holland and can arrange delivery quite quickly. Our Wholesale cash & carry is bursting at the seams with all manner of lovely plants that, come the middle to end of February will start rapidly coming out of their winter hibernation. Down here in the south we will see temperatures rising daily after all the horrible cold & wet conditions of the winter months. Why not come and have a wander round beforehand and see the amazing transformation we have made to the nursery since the Autumn. We will be closed between Christmas Eve & New Years day, reopen on the 3rd Jan.  Summer foliage With Stewarts wholesale closing their doors to the landscaping trade last year and now New Forest plants no longer selling larger plants other than their normal Alpines, Perennials and Herbs we recognised a need to get our act together and enlarge our own cash & carry to help meet the expected demand from the Landscape trade in and around this part of the south. We are again renting space on another nursery locally to grow most of our shrubs & Bedding which has enabled us to enlarge the cash & carry area at our glenacres home site to carry a much larger range of plants. We try and carry a huge variety of plants from Bedding, perennials, shrubs, Roses, Fruit bushes and trees, Palms, Bamboos indeed anything & everything that people might want all the way up to specimen trees & large shrubs. Any items we don’t have can be sourced and ordered in fairly quickly. Hedging plants are a speciality. We always have ready to collect a large assortment in sizes of the most popular items like potted Laurels & Griselinias plus larger Leylandii, Thujyas and Taxus. Most sizes of Buxus from small 9cm pots, 2-3 ltr pots plus 10-15 ltr sizes are also available. Bare root hedging is available (all varieties & sizes) to order at very short notice at competitive prices. In conjunction with a well known local Landscape designer & plantsman we are once again supplying plants this coming summer for his exhibits at Chelsea & Hampton court flower shows and also the Royal Bath and west show. Hopefully he will once again win an award for his efforts. We have supplied plants again last season for some quite large projects in the south. We can deliver anywhere in this area with our own Vehicle at cost. Because we operate purely on a CASH & CARRY basis we unfortunately cannot accept plant requirement lists from you. We operate with a very small staff to enable us to keep our prices down at wholesale levels, for the same reason we cannot wasoffer planting advice. We ask that you come and visit and make your own requirement lists from what is available and looking good on the nursery at the time and then come and pick them out when your ready. We will always reserve plants for you for a short period. At certain times of the year we are able to offer a delivery & planting service at reasonable cost. Please call and discuss your requirements. Many thanks to everyone who has supported us this last year, especially all the new customers who found us for the first time, many of whom have become regular visitors. |
