Hedgehog Plants
We are a husband and wife run, award-winning nursery based in Risby, just outside Bury St. Edmunds.
For us, plants aren’t just our work, they are also our passion. Particularly shrubs and shade-loving perennials. Our epimedium display in spring is truly a sight to behold.
Whilst we grow a lot of plants that may be new to some people, we also grow a range of tried & tested garden favourites and for indoors we also have a selection of house plants.

The nursery plants are available to purchase. The majority coming from the gardens, propagated by seed, cutting and root division.
