About Us
For many gardeners the true beauty of a garden is realised primarily in the plants. They are what sets a garden apart, marks the individuality and taste of the gardener and provide delicious treats for the senses of smell and sight, throughout the year. Lawn, decking, paving and furnishings are mere accessories to the grasses, flowers and foliage that are the heart and soul of the garden. The selection therefore is of paramount importance. Here at Hardy Plants of Cumbria, we understand gardens and gardeners and we are knowledgeable about all our plants and happy to help you with your planning and selection.
We have a huge selection of beautiful plants, both old favourites and brand new varieties. Whether you are looking for a popular plant known and loved by all or a rarity, you will probably find it here and if not, we will help you to source it.
