online shop for cottage garden plants

[aquilegia]

I need some recommendations for good shops that sell interesting and unusual varieties of cottage garden plants. I can only really go to the DIY shops and have got so utterly bored of the standard selections they sell. I want something a bit unusual and a bit special!

So where's a good one?

TIA

That's no good I feel your pain!! I couldn't bear to only shop at DIY sheds. Possible nurseries:

My favourite. But she is so traditional you can only order for planting spring or autumn so will need to pre-order for Sept now.

I have also used crocus (http://www.crocus.co.uk/), they are fairly expensive but excellent quality.

There are heaps of small family run nurseries on the internet.

Happy shopping!
