Halecat Garden Nursery is
hidden away in the grounds of Halecat House in the pleasant
village of Witherslack, just one mile off the A590. The
business began in a small way selling plants propagated in the
gardens
of the main house. As it grew, it gradually took over the
kitchen garden, making way for stock beds which still provide
most of the plants on sale. The nursery is now run by Matthew
Bardgett, the head gardener of the main house. He has put
together a wide range of interesting and rare plants, most of
which are propagated in the nursery.
Other plants are supplied by good
traditional local growers who maintain the same high standards
as Halecat. The extensive stock includes a very large range of
perennials, seasonal bedding plants, shrubs, trees, alpines,
grasses and hanging baskets. When you've made your purchases
you can settle down in the Flower Pot Tea Room which serves an
appetising selection of home-made cakes along with local
Farrers coffee and tea, or wander around the main garden open
to the public all year round.
