I had a really zen experience at Worlds End Nurseries, Chelsea. Never been before but it was recommended by a friend- gorgeous little green gem just before the World's End pub. Walk through the iron gates and the jasmine strewn gazebo and you step into an oasis. Sadly my green fingers only stretch to 3 window boxes and houseplants but I'm terribly proud of them.
Popped in for some plants and new window boxes and walked away with everything I needed. My boxes are a heady mixture of fragrant lavender, daisies, delicate campanulas and a measure of trailing Ivy to help hide the thumping great padlock I have to keep the boxes from being stolen. Joys of city living!!Every plant was of high quality and looked beautiful, they knew their stuff and took the time to advise me.
For any budding cooks, this is the perfect place to get your herbs. Fed up of buying supermarket plants that looked sorry for themselves after one use and never recovered. They a large range of hugely fragrant herbs that have lasted and lived! I bought Rosemary, Majoram, Basil and some strawberries...
I'd recommend a visit, even just for a stroll around the grounds. very happy. read more
