The Plant Nursery at LionMouth
All the plants that we have on our nursery beds have been sown, grown, split, grafted, propagated or taken as cuttings by either our highly qualified horticultural staff or our day care service users and volunteers. We do not use any chemicals on site, just a lot of love, care and attention.
PLEASE KEEP REVISITING THIS SITE AS we are constantly sowing, splitting and taking cuttings so the list and availability may change from day to day.
