About Broadleigh Gardens
Broadleigh Gardens was founded during the 1940s by Alec Gray, who was
famous for breeding miniature daffodils such as Tete-a-Tete. We bought
Broadleigh Gardens in 1972 and still hold the National Collection of his
hybrids. Since that time the nursery has expanded rapidly and is now the
country's foremost small bulb specialist sending orders throughout the European
Union by mail order. Our range is no longer limited to bulbs, but also includes a wide
range of the more unusual herbaceous and woodland plants. We pride ourselves on
the supply of top quality bulbs and plants. For illustrations of the
items we sell please see Picture Library.
We welcome visitors to our Nursery and extensive 5 acre gardens for a
charitable donation. This year's charity is St. Margaret's Somerset Hospice. Please remember we are a working mail order nursery,
and orders may only be collected with prior notice. We have a limited range of
plants on sale for visitors.
The nursery has won many awards, including Gold
Medals, at the RHS Westminster Shows, Tatton Park and at Chelsea,
where our experienced staff will be delighted to answer any questions you might
have.
For current news of what is happening in the
nursery, special offers etc., see the News page.
Please remember this site only contains a very
small sample of what Broadleigh Gardens has
to offer. If you are searching for a particular plant or bulb, please contact
