The nursery is open throughout the year, to everyone, not only visitors to Great Dixter House and Gardens. There is no entrance charge.

As well as plants, we sell hand-picked Great Dixter seed, and a carefully selected range of Sneeboer & Zn garden tools and pots and sundries.

We will be continuing mail order and pre-paid collections, browse our online catalogue to place an order. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you all at a safe distance!

Parking is located at the north west perimeter of the Nursery. From here the Nursery may be accessed directly. The nearby Great Dixter Shop is ideally located for garden-related products, gifts, locally made products and refreshments.
