...you want a statement plant, not a tray of petunias — palms, tree ferns, bamboos, olives, and architectural specimens from a Chelsea Gold Medal winner
The Specialist
A 4-acre specialist nursery set inside a 17th-century walled garden that once belonged to Ham House. Founded in 1989 by Chelsea Gold Medal winner Martin Gibbons, this is the UK’s original and leading specialist in hardy exotic plants — palms, tree ferns, bamboos, olives, and architectural specimens.
Not a general garden centre. Come here when you want a statement plant — something that will transform a corner of your garden into something unexpected. The setting alone, inside those old walls, makes it worth the visit.
Hours: Mon–Sat 9am–4pm, closed Sundays.
