Nursery
On a hectare of open ground and 500 m² under cover we grow and sell ornamental plants, hedging plants, olive trees, fruit trees and Mediterranean herbs.
The nursery
We grow our plants on one hectare of open ground and 500 m² under cover. Our garden centre is in the same place: what grows in the rows is what we sell.
Come and walk between the rows. We'll show you what's ready for planting right now and what would suit your garden.
Our range
How we grow
01
Plants begin life as young seedlings, in the greenhouse or outdoors, sheltered from wind and strong sun.
02
As they grow, we move them into larger pots so the roots have room and strength.
03
We water, feed and prune every day. You can tell from the plants when someone looks after them.
04
When a plant is ready, we help you pick a spot for it. If you need, we'll bring it to you.
Hedges
Photinia, Leyland cypress, privet and cherry laurel grow here in long rows below Buje. Tell us how quickly the hedge needs to grow and how much you want to prune it, and we'll choose the variety together. Autumn is the best time to plant, while the soil is still warm.
Ancient olive trees
Young trees aged 3 and 5 years go into new olive groves. Our ornamental olives are 10, 50 or 100 years old and no two are the same, so they're best chosen in person, on a walk through the nursery.
Plant list
01
For a hedge that closes off the view quickly, choose photinia 'Red Robin', Leyland cypress, privet or cherry laurel. Bay laurel and pittosporum grow more slowly, but they are easier to keep low and tidy.
02
Lower shrubs for the edge of a bed or along a path, and taller ones for the back of the garden or an informal hedge that doesn't need strict pruning. Many of them flower for much of the summer.
03
Trees that give a garden its shape and shade. Among them are old olive trees, Japanese cherries and mimosas.
04
Fragrant plants for the garden and the kitchen. Lavender, rosemary and immortelle grow here as if they were at home.
05
For a wall, pergola or fence you'd like to cover in green.
06
Multi-year olive saplings and fruit trees aged 3, 5 and 8–10 years.

FAQ

Yes. We plant hedges, standard trees and ornamental plants.
Of what we grow, Leyland cypress, photinia 'Red Robin', privet and cherry laurel grow the fastest. How quickly they close off the view depends on the size of the plant, the soil and watering, so describe your site and we'll recommend a variety.
In autumn, while the soil is still warm and the rain returns. Spring works too, but then the hedge needs regular watering through the summer.
