Plants

You'll find an outstanding array of own grown hardy plants available throughout the year at Rainbow Garden Nurseries.

Regular visits to the nursery are thoroughly recommended so you can see first hand the amazing selection of plants in their full glory.

Junk and Disorderly

That's an affectionate reference to the eclectic stock that's available on site!

Rainbow Garden Nurseries prides itself on sourcing items that will genuinely look good in any garden. You'll find many items have been around for some time, have a history, and lend themselves perfectly to unusual planters and features in the garden.

These include:

• Galvanised Items
• Wheels
• Chimney Crooks
• Cook Pots
• Grindstones
• Sack Hoists
• Chimney Pots
• Bird Baths

Decorative items

Stoneware Rainbow Garden Nurseries holds stock of stoneware from over seven suppliers, and continues to expand their range. You'll no doubt find examples of stoneware that you won't be able to find at other garden centres!

Garden Benches You'll find a range of unique old Garden Benches that are restored to their former glory by the Rainbow Garden Nursery team. This is done by cleaning and repainting all the metalwork, then refurbishing the bench using locally sourced oak, cherry, or other hardwoods. All timber is treated with a preservative.

The benches are truly unique as they're individual one-offs and many blacksmith made dating back to the turn of the 19th century. They are not only very comfortable but will also add character to your garden!

Mirrors There's always a great selection of garden mirrors held in stock which will help bring extra light to your garden!

Vases and Planters You'll find an excellent range of teak vases and planters that can be used both indoors and outdoors!

Tools Choose from an excellent selection of old English made garden tools such as border forks, trowels, rakes and hoes. Makes include Elwell, Brades, Spear and Jackson, Skelton.

And if you have any old garden tools yourself, they're always wanted!
