At Nowton Park Nursery, we grow a colourful array of plants to buy, including perennials, seasonal basket plants and hanging baskets to brighten up any garden. Look out for our seasonal trailer by The Grounds Café in Nowton Park.

We also provide a fulfilment area where team members sort and package items for local businesses. We pride ourselves on high quality at Nowton Park Nursery by working as a team and offering our team members a variety of jobs dependent on their abilities.
