Stonyford Cottage Nursery & Gardens

A nursery garden in a valley with pools, bridges and a wooded island. The garden was made by the Overland family in a wetland area with a pool in a valley on the edge of Delamere Forest. There is a focus on shade and moisture-loving plants, including primulas, astilbes and hostas.

Head Gardener's Comment

Set around a large pool this Monet style landscape has a wealth of moisture loving plants, including iris and candelabra primulas. Drier areas feature unusual perennials and rarer trees and shrubs. The newly planted woodland walk gives, hitherto unseen, vistas across the pool to the cottage gardens.
