A humble little patch of land in the mountains.

A poly tunnel, a big vision and

lot of a hard-graft. That's the foundation of our little Nursery... 

When we took over the business in November 2018 we had no idea what we were in for (or what we were doing) but we knew that no matter what, we would make it work. It was a long-held dream of ours to live off the grid, become more self-sufficient and have a land-based business that would allow us to live a life of genuine freedom, and that's exactly what we found right here.

​

We are a family-run business, operating truly organically (with no pesticides at all, even "organic" varieties) and growing most of our plants from seed (without heat). It's a labour of love without a doubt, but a lifestyle and vocation that is deeply fulfilling and satisfying, as any keen gardener will tell you!

​

The climate here necessitates that plants are hardy and grown in a way that ensures they'll survive in their destined environment - we pride ourselves on being able to supply plants that are grown right here in the mountains and that perform well in our customers gardens! We specialise in growing and supplying unusual hardy bedding plants, as well as perennials and shrubs that are well-suited to our climate.

And if we don't have something in stock, we can get it from one of our excellent and trusted suppliers. The fact that we have long-standing regular customers who visit us consistently throughout the year, choose us over more "convenient" suppliers, and many of whom have become wonderful friends, tells us that we must be doing something right :)

​

Everything we do here at Ystwyth Garden Nursery is for the benefit of the wider community and the ecology of the land we own - it sustains us, and we look after it, as it should be. From the insects we allow and welcome in respect for natural order, to the rain water we collect to water the plants, everything is purposeful and everything has a purpose. As it was always meant to be.
