Welcome to Hartside Nursery Garden

The family run nursery was established in 1975 and specialises in propagating, growing and selling some of the rarely offered hardy plants from around the world.

The wide range of old and new species and varieties includes Alpines, Primulas, Spring and Autumn Flowering Gentians, Rock Garden Plants, Dwarf Conifers, Dwarf Rhododendrons, and Hardy Ferns. We have something for everyone, from the beginner to the specialist.
