Highwood Perennial Nurseries has been established on this site for 30yrs +.

I took over in 2005 and my partner, Steve joined in 2013.

As with most horticulturalists we have a great passion for our plants and it is very much a way of life, not just a job for us.

As a result of the Gales earlier in the year, 50% of our "Bays" have collapsed and we have lost our Poly-Tunnel and our Shed Roof - resulting in the loss of cuttings, "parent " plants and SPACE. This in turn causes a huge problem as we can not start our Bedding Plants ( Alyssum, Antirrhinum, Begonia, Dahlia, Geraniums, Impatiens, Lobelia, Marigolds, Petunia, Salvia and Cosmos) - thus ours will not be available until early May. (Pansies and Sweet Williams are available as they are a little tougher and can tolerate the cold)

Fortunately our Greenhouse is in tact with a good selection of Basket plants ready to go! We also have a good selection of Veg. plants available;-

Artichokes, Aubergines, Cucumbers, Courgettes, Squash, Runner Beans, Broad Beans, Peas and Tomatos

We are strong on our Perennial, Alpine and Trees/Fruit Trees and Hedging selections currently.

The good weather is encouraging us into ours gardens early this year; even allowing for the challenges we are up against, there is a huge number of plants already available to tempt you, here!

Please bear with us whilst we attempt to get the rest of the nursery into ship-shape order - we hope to be "ready" by Easter.

We are back to **7 days a week** until end of June. We will be Closed Saturday 16th April only, over Easter - Friday, Sunday and Monday open as usual but 10am till 4pm opening hours.  *** Check our main board for changes as the huge hike in fuel may force us to curtail our opening times*****

The Web site has not been updated since Summer 2021; I will be working on this over the next few weeks. Please call us for updates - the Landline is finally working- thanks to the fantastic Open reach guys!!!!

To combat the escalating costs of living -(energy and transport significantly affecting horticulture) we are offering upto 10% off a £30+ spend and 20% off an £80+ spend - (rounded up to the nearest whole £1.) This is across the board on Alpines, Basket plants, Herbs and Perennials.

Looking forward to seeing you all again for the 2022 season.

Lynn and Steve

My first visit today. What a breath of fresh air!!! An amazing stock of plants, all well cared for and all reasonably priced. The owners took the time to answer any questions I had re my purchase and their advice was invaluable. I can’t wait to go back.

If you want to find something different, something nt the same specimen and colour as the chain shops selling plants, this is where you go. Advise is on hand so you never need to leave with a plant that won't work in the space you need it for. Healthy beautiful plants from a small independent business.

Look no further for plants and nursery bits from a true locally owned business. All plants grown without being forced like other nurseries on the island and will happily give advice to get the best out of your plants!

Went in as a complete novice looking for advice for the various different areas of the garden, the service and help I was given was second to none. The choice of plants is wonderful, and I wish my garden was bigger so I could have more!! I will definitely be back to purchase more.
