The Plantsman's Preference has been providing quality ornamental plants since our founding in 1996.

It is our intention to provide plants of good quality and to make new, rare and unusual plants available to a wider gardening audience, whilst not neglecting the more commonplace.  The majority of plants we grow are easy and reliable to grow and do not need any special care. They are almost all hardy in at least part of the UK.

While catering for the traditional gardener we are also keen to promote Naturalistic or New Wave style gardening and can provide advice and plants for these relatively low maintenance styles. This can best be done with a visit to the nursery.

The nursery was started as a partnership between:

Jenny Fuller was The Plantsman's Preference Hardy Geranium specialist and an equal partner with her son Tim. Sadly Jenny was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2009 and passed away on the 18th Spetember 2010.

The nursery is now run solely by:

Tim Fuller is the Ornamental Grasses and Woodland Perennials specialist. Tim is a member of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Floral Trials Panel and Stipa Trial Panel  which are responsible for recommending plants to the Award of Garden Merit. During 2009/2010 Tim has taken on the cultivation of the wide range of Hardy Geraniums and will continue them into the future.

Awards
