Cath & Bob invite you to visit Caths Garden Plants, proud winners of RHS Gold Medals in 2010 at Hampton Court and Tatton Park Flower Shows and in 2009 at Gardeners' World Live and Tatton Park Flower Shows.  Also Premier medals (top) at Harrogate Flower Shows 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Online ordering now available!
The plants that are sent to you when you order online are of the same high quality and from the same batches of plants growing on the nursery that we put out on our nursery sales beds or sell at the Flower Shows that we attend.  They are delivered by a 24 hr courier service in boxes that we have commissioned specially so that they should arrive with you in the best possible condition. If you would like to ask any questions or are unsure of anything then please feel free to ring the nursery on:-  015395 61126 any day between 10-30am-5pm or find more details in the ordering section under the About Us tab at the top of the page .

Please be aware that as we grow the plants that we sell not all plants will be available to order at all times.  This may be because of our potting regimes as we do not sell plants after they have been potted on until they have made good root systems and are ready for you to plant. Some plants (like Paeonias, shown) can only be despatched as bare rooted plants in October. We will try to advise when plants are likely to be available on the website but as a busy working nursery we may not always be able to keep the system fully up to date. 

We have also built the site to be used as a reference library by our visitors and hope that you enjoy using it. Plants can still be ordered by phone or post, if you would prefer to use that method. You can pay by credit or debit card or cheque.  Please do not send your card details by email as website ordering is secure for card details but the email is not. 

Cath & Bob are proud of their small traditional nursery and passionate about their wide range of quality plants which are grown naturally in their own mix of peat reduced compost, with no use of insecticides or heating. Why don't you visit us in our beautiful nursery in the Lake District, Cumbria. We welcome visitors and are happy to give advice to both the newcomer and knowledgeable gardener about both plants and garden design. Find out where we are and our opening times in our contact details.

If you can't visit us in person then on our website you will discover our extensive range of both usual and more unusual herbaceous perennials, our main specialism. If you can't find the plant you require it's still worth contacting us as we often have small quantities of plants that are not always advertised. Alternatively we may be able to source the plant for you.

We also grow shrubs, grasses, ferns, climbers & wall shrubs and a small range of herbs. Throughout the season we will be advertising special offers so we hope that you will keep logging on.


We deliver to anywhere in mainland UK and make every effort to ensure your plants arrive in perfect condition. If you live further afield then please contact us to discuss delivery.  Orders can comprise any number of plants but the more plants ordered the cheaper the carriage costs.  Please see the ordering section under the About Us tab at the top of the page for more details.
