Plant Base

General information

Plantbase was born out of a passion and love for plants. We are a 3 acre nursery in the heart of the East Sussex countryside. We’re not big and flashy, we just grow beautiful plants with love and care.

From temperate to tropical, we supply garden enthusiasts around the UK as well as botanical gardens including the prestigious RHS Wisley and Kew Gardens.
Our reputation comes from our knowledge and the quality of our rare and exotic plants, resulting in bronze and silver RHS Medals, and hopefully, this year a Silver Gilt!

We grow over 1,500 varieties from around the world, specialising in South African and Australasian plants.

Our plants are tough, and ready for the majority of conditions the UK throws at them. They are forced to grow in very basic situations with the minimum of pandering to individual needs (in other words we use 3 types of growing medium, either in sun or part shade, and if it doesn't rain they all get tap water (if they're lucky) and if they don't like it tough!

We are also trying growing techniques that haven't been tried before e.g recycling unwanted live plants back into newly potted up plants. Watch this space for more information!

Orders can be placed on our website, by phone or you can simply pop in and say hello - Misia our over friendly Labrador would love to see you.
