BELLFLOWER NURSERY, LANGHAM HALL WALLED GARDEN
Unique specialist nursery is now open:
Thursdays and Fridays 10 - 5
Saturdays 10 - 1. March to November.
A wide range of
both unusual and tried and tested hardy perennials, alpines, potted bulbs and shrubs is offered and a
plant sourcing service is available. Also many old and new varieties of campanulas are in stock, both
dwarf and herbaceous, many propagated by me from my National Collection of alpine campanulas which is on display
in its permanent site within the walled garden.
This is a unique horticultural experience...
An interesting
range of hardy plants, seasonal potted bulbs and shrubs is displayed and sold all year round from The Leaping Hare Country
Store at Wyken Hall, near Stanton, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
