Summer News








As some of you may have noticed we have begun to rearrange the retail area in order to create space to build our café and shop, which we plan to have ready by March 2011.



This has meant relocating the trees, shrubs and conifers planted in front of the greenhouse, we will also have to knock the greenhouse down, as the structure of the building is too weak to be converted. This will be a sad day for us, the greenhouse was built by Alan Tate in the 60’s, now his grand daughter Victoria is set to become the new leader of the company. The building work will not disrupt our usual opening hours so please don’t be deterred by the apparent upheaval.



We have many exciting ideas to make visiting Lime Cross Nursery an even more inspirational and enjoyable experience, so keep checking this page.
