Jubilee Cottage Nursery was established in 1990 so it will be 20 year in 2010!! (we cant believe it)
Vicky grew up on the family nursery A. T Yates & Son in Somerford which have grown plants for over 50 years.
Richard grew up on the family farm .
We started attending flower shows in 2000 to promote our new website www.plantagogo.com. Our first show was 'Gardeners World 'at the NEC Birmingham
In 2007 we decided to go into the floral marque to show our plants and hopefully get a few medals to promote our quality plants.
The first RHS show we did was Malvern where we got our first RHS GOLD medal of course we were thrilled.
That spured us on to greater things and this year when we attended 'The Chelsea Flower Show' for the first time and won our first ever 'Chelsea Gold' medal I cant tell you how great that felt.
In fact we have had a GOLD medal at every show we have done this year.
We are thrilled.
The pressure is on now to do it again in 2010 we will be trying our hardest ...we will have to see.
Our National Collections.
We have been collecting Heuchera, Heuchera and Tiarella for a number of years now purely as a hobby to begin with then it turned into something more when we decided to try and get a national collection. We couldnt help noticing that a number of varieties of these plants were dissappearing ,as more and more new varieties came onto the market. We could see they would be lost forever!
We have been collecting and collecting and now we have 230 plus varieties of Heuchera and growning daily! ( we are goinging to need a bigger nursery!)
We got our national collection of Heucherella approved the day we came back from 'The Chelsea Flower Show' 2009 we couldnt believe it. What an excellent week.
Then on November 14th 2009 we heard that we had been given national collection status for Heucheras this has just made this year amazing.
Our collections are available to view by appointment only, where you can see and purchase plants from the nursery too.
Some of the rare varieties will be available on the website under 'Heritage collection' in the Spring 2010... these varieties will be offered for sale but there are only very small quantities - so order early to avoid disappiontment.
Many varieteis are only availble from us.
Most of these are only available in small quantities.
We are constantly looking for new and rare varieties to offer for sale.
We only sell plants that we would like to receive ourselves.
We hope you enjoy the website and enjoy any plants that you purchase from us.
Happy gardening
Vicky and Richard Fox
