Rare Plants Rooted in Heritage
Trade Nursery for Distinctive Landscape Projects
Bothy Gardens is a restored Georgian walled garden, first built in 1731 and brought back to life over the past four years.
When we began, the garden was completely overgrown with years of ivy, self-seeded trees, tangled shrubs and weeds had taken hold. Beneath it all, though, something remarkable was waiting. Among the chaos, a single apple tree, a few figs, and a quince were still worth keeping.
Today, the garden is a working nursery and experimental space, shaped by restoration, persistence, and a deep respect for what came before.
Inside the walls, we grow and source rare and unusual plants for designers and landscape projects, the kind that reward curiosity and don’t always appear on standard lists.
This is not a finished garden.
It is a living one.
A place to explore ideas, walk through planting in progress, bring clients, and think differently about what gardens can become. We now welcome garden designers, landscapers, and plant-led projects to visit, explore the nursery, and be part of what is continuing to evolve.
Trade Visits to Bothy Gardens
We now offer by-appointment visits for garden designers, developers, and other trade professionals who’d like to explore the Bothy Gardens nursery and discuss upcoming projects.
