HELLO!

My name is Dan and I grow sustainable hardy perennial plants in the Lake District, welcome to my nursery, Dan's Plants...

COTTAGE GARDEN PERENNIALS

Dan's Plants is a small plant nursery located in the Lake District, Cumbria, specialising in growing and supplying cottage garden perennials with sustainability at heart. All of my nursery grown plants are peat-free, hardy, and grown in recyclable pots.

MY passion and plants

Sustainability plays a big role on my nursery, and that's why everything I grow is peat-free, grown in British made recyclable pots and with no nasty chemicals. All in unheated polytunnels in the unpredictable weather of Cumbria.

I've been growing plants all my life but commercially since 2017. With the help of my family I operate Dan's Plants while working part time in destination marketing. My goal is to sell plants and exhibit at flower shows across the UK, including Chelsea!

CONTACT ME

Whether you have a plants question, would like a few plants, or you have a large planting project, get in touch! As well as selling directly to the public I also take wholesale orders, and I'm always on the look out for new stockists.
