Cottage Garden Nursery

for Garden Centres & Nurseries

in Gateshead

A secret of Gateshead that should be shared

A real gardener's paradise whether you are a professional, gardening enthusiast or novice

Cottage Garden Nursery is a family run nursery and was established in 1982 by Loraine and Peter Shotton

Set in over two acres, the nursery still has a cottage garden atmosphere. You are surrounded by a vast array of beautiful plants  from the moment you drive into the car park - a real Garden of Eden

Exceptional Value For Money

Exceptional Service

Prices are extremely competitive. In fact you will be hard pushed to find such prices locally

Together with plants of quality and choice, Cottage Garden Nursery really do offer exceptional value. Which is why many garden centres and nurseries in the Gateshead and surrounding areas cannot  match the service of this specialist nursery

Sourcing Plants

"Where do we buy from? Not always easy but a lot of the plants re-introduced into the gardens have been bought from Cottage Garden Nursery of Eighton Banks, Gateshead. It is not a conventional Garden Centre, more a proper growing nursery, and the owners and staff really know about the plants and specialise in herbaceous perennials, shrubs, trees and unusual plants.

The plants are always well labelled with proper Latin plant names, as well as the modern names and the cost of the plants is very reasonable. These are much cheaper than Garden Centres, who buy in everything and mark up prices for high returns"

So not your run of the mill regarding garden centres and nurseries
