THE COTTAGE GARDEN NURSERY is a family run business owned by partners David & Wendy. We both have a horticultural background working in landscaping and garden services for several years and have completed formal study courses
This is our twelfth year at The Cottage Garden. Our enthusiasm for plants and the buzz to help and advise our customers grows by the week.
We have been growing all manners of plants for many years and are constantly furthering our experience, knowledge and enjoyment within this industry.
David's first experience within the gardening industry was at the early age of 3!!! With a 1d packet of Lupin seeds purchased at Woolworth's he set about the garden. Several school projects back in the 1950's, much potting, lots of planting, and a fair bit of landscaping later, and gardening is still one of the most important & satisfying parts of his life.


One of our biggest loves is for fuchsia, and we carry several hundred plants but alas a sensible living cannot be made from a specialist activity. We are members of several national & local horticultural societies including R.H.S., British Fuschia Society, Handy Plant national & North London, Henry Doubleday and The National Leisure Gardens as well as local groups in North London and our home town of Waltham Forest.

We are able & willing to offer talks and demonstrations for interested groups either at the nursery or suitable meeting venue. We also support charitable groups, and would be happy to provide a promotional plant stand at fetes and other fund-raising events! We can offer help and advise for schools setting up schools garden projects & education for pupils & students.
For ease of finding us in directories and our web site, we are classified with garden centres, but we are not a giant multisales store full of everything plus a few plants. We pride ourselves on being a garden plant nursery offering good quality at competitive prices. Growing and selling a comprehensive range of seasonal plants for seasonal gardeners.
