Vegetable Plants

If you really like to know where the food that you eat comes from, then you'll be pleased to know that our vegetable plants are produced from the very seeds that we sell! We not only know the provenance of our plants and vegetable seeds, but every vegetable plant we list on the website we actually grow and eat ourselves. This means that we can offer you, our customer, the finest selection of vegetable plants based on flavour and growing characteristics that are best suited to home growing.

The best flavours and greatest growing success can only be achieved when our vegetable plants are grown in season. Every vegetable plant that we offer is grown in our British nursery's vegetable production area, and no matter where we are in the growing calendar, you can guarantee that the plants you purchase will only be dispatched once they have been fully hardened off. This ensures a much higher chance of success, as the vegetable plants will only be available once the time is right to grow them at home.

You might be interested to learn that here at the nursery, we actually have three vegetable gardens. The Display Vegetable Garden is cared for by Brian and Mark - and the running of which is overseen by Jeremy Shirley, a man with almost 70 years of vegetable growing experience under his belt! The Display Vegetable garden can be viewed by anyone who visits the nursery.

The Children's Vegetable garden is tended by the children who attend our popular Children's Gardening Days. And lastly, Victoriana's own Molly and Milly Shirley tend their private 'Girls' Garden', along with parents Serena and Stephen.

Over the years, these three gardens have contributed to our depth of experience and knowledge on vegetable growing that we can pass on to our customers - from allotment growing, family gardening and even the running of a children's gardening club.
