About
The Cottage Herbery

 

The Cottage Herbery was established in 1976 with the view to growing herbs, aromatics, scented foliage plants, native wild plants, cottage garden favourites & unusual edibles. From the very birth of The Cottage Herbery every plant has been grown organically and peat-free. The ethos of The Cottage Herbery is that if you are producing plants for natural flavouring, healing and fragrance then that plant should be produced naturally.

The Herbery carries the Soil Association Symbol to produce organic plants in pots. Yes we did word that correctly, the peat-free compost we use (and originally developed) is approved and carries it’s own symbol as the only coir based compost to be truly organic, its trade name is ‘Fertile Fibre’ (visit the website for more details at www.fertilefibre.co.uk). We were the first nursery to achieve this and by the book too!

The Cottage Herbery has won numerous awards throughout its career including the most coveted award a Chelsea Gold Medal. We have a keen interest in certain plant families and have private collections of Angelica, Digitalis, Lobelia, Monarda, Rosmarinus and Tropaeleum.

Why not come along and see us at some of this years Flower Shows. We have been at Malvern Spring Garden Show (where we won a Gold Medal), Chelsea Flower Show in London (where we have also won a Gold Medal), the Gardeners' World Live at the NEC Birmingham, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show,  Tatton Park Flower Show in Cheshire, Shrewsbury Flower Show, Kings Heath Park Flower Show in Birmingham and many other Rare Plants Fairs, Farmers' Markets and local Flower Shows. If you want any plants brought along for collection get in contact to see which shows we are attending this year. Give as much notice as possible!
