Family run

We're not a garden centre but a small family-run nursery
and we just love chatting about our visitors’ garden ideas and offering advice.

Our aim...

...is to offer a helpful, friendly service and assist you in choosing plants that suit your individual needs. We even have a garden at the nursery so you can see how the plants grow and imagine them in your own garden.

Colourful perennials

Whether it's spring, summer or autumn we'll have a range of plants that are flowering their socks off.

Button
Trees and shrubs

We have a wide range of flowering and evergreen shrubs and trees to give year round interest.

Dahlias

Dahlias are where it all started for us.

Come and say hello and we'll tell you the story!

Good to know...

Our nursery is totally outdoors. We have a large site with plenty of parking inside and space for you to wander around,

Dogs are welcome at the nursery. All we ask is that they keep their owners on a lead!

We take both card and cash. Contactless card payment is easiest, but you can use whatever's best for you.

A bit about us...

After thirty years as soft Southerners, we decided to leave the wilds of Hampshire to indulge our passion for plants and all things horticultural at Millthorpe Nursery.

With two daughters who were then living in and around York, the move 'up North' seemed inevitable. So when the opportunity to run Millthorpe Nursery came up we just jumped at it!

Not that we'd ever run a nursery before. But if you don't try you'll never know and so here we are - eight years on - an ex-gardener and ex-primary school teacher, making it up as we go along and giving it our best shot in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside!

We are a growing nursery so you'll often find us watering, potting on or seed sowing whatever the time of year. A composty handshake is always on offer!
