About Us
Elatum Delphiniums
We are passionate about Delphiniums and have built up a specialist Elatum Delphinium section with many cultivars that are unavailable elsewhere. These are very tough hardy perennials that can withstand very cold winter temperatures. See our Delphinium Gallery page for more information. We do not currently provide a mail order service but are happy to take orders to events for collection (excluding RHS Chelsea).
Perennials
We grow a range of perennials on the nursery, using the traditional methods of propagation eg. seed, division or cuttings. They are all grown under natural conditions (not forced) so to make a natural transition to your garden. We are constantly changing our range of perennials so please feel free to contact us to see what is currently available.
The Nursery - The Story So Far
After leaving school I worked as a trainee nurseryman at a traditional growing nursery (Hyrons Nursery, Amersham, Bucks). I successfully completed a 3 year day release course but the nursery was always where I was happiest and learnt so much. Sadly the nursery succumbed to the developers many years ago but I still meet people who say they miss the nursery because it propagated the vast majority of the plants and therefore knew about them. It was during this time the seeds were sown of one day starting my own nursery.
My next stop was a larger nursery, still growing and propagating, but not such a broad range of plants. I was mainly involved with Fuschias, Geraniums, Dahlias etc. I gained valuable experience during this time and it was another step towards my own nursery, Home Farm Plants. Home Farm Plants specialises in the elatum Delphinium and have exhibited at RHS Shows and other plant fairs and events. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 our displays at RHS Chelsea Flower Show were awarded Gold. See our Events page for details of where we will be exhibiting in 2026.
