Founded by Rosy Hardy in 1988, we are a small independent nursery with a wide range of home produced herbaceous perennials which are grown outdoors in peat free compost, ready for your garden. We are breeders and introducers of interesting new perennial varieties and exhibit at major Flower Shows throughout the year.
Rosy and Rob Hardy are winners of 20 RHS Chelsea Gold Medals.
Nursery
Set in 13 acres of beautiful Hampshire countryside, Hardys Cottage Garden Plants is a family-run nursery, offering an unrivalled ion of high quality plants to suit every garden.
Now recognised as one of the UKs leading plantsmens nurseries, Rosy and Rob Hardy started out over 20 years ago selling plants from their own back garden for which demand grew rapidly. Today we stock over 1,200 plant varieties, including many rare and exciting species you”ll simply never see in your average garden centre.
Plant Sales
We welcome visitors to the nursery in Whitchurch where our knowledgeable staff will help you plants to match your personal requirements.
Right plant for the Right place
The Sales Area is separated into sections specific to areas for Spring, Summer and Autumn flowering. Also in colour sections as well
If you are looking for a specific plant and cannot find it on the sales area it is always worth asking a member of staff just in case we have stock elsewhere on the nursery, of course if you are travelling along way for a specific variety it is always best to either email or ring us first to avoid disappointment, we are always happy to help with any enquiry.
As well as providing plants for the public, we also work with many professional gardeners and warmly welcome enquiries from Landscape Designers and Contractors.
