We are busy getting ready for the Mid Devon Show this Saturday, come and find us in the Flower Marquee! This year we are creating a ‘Perfect for Pollinators’ stand showcasing some of the plants for all seasons that the bees and butterflies love. This beautiful peacock butterfly has perfectly illustrated this by settling in on this Cirsium rivulare ‘Trevors Blue Wonder’! Come and see the whole stand and find out how to encourage those very important pollinators (VIPs!) into your garden.

Just a reminder that we are now stocking seeds selected by Sarah Raven to create your perfect bee and butterfly garden. Her recent BBC TV programme ‘Bees, Butterflies and Blooms’ highlights the decline in pollinating insects and her campaign to encourage more bee and butterfly friendly gardens and we at Cove Garden Nursery are right behind her!
Sarah Ravens Seeds
A varied selection of beautiful blooms are available to be sown all year round, including some wild flowers such as Yellow Rattle which has been much requested this year.
Sarah Ravens Seeds will compliment our extensive range of Kings Seeds so we are bound to have something to tempt all gardeners!
Yellow Rattle
Butterfly & Verbena
New stock has arrived this week. This range of seeds has been specially selected by Sarah Raven whose BBC programs on gardening for bees and butterflies have attracted a huge amount of interest. The idea of this range is to enable the creation of beautiful gardens that will attract and feed pollinating insects throughout the season. After this summer these insects could doo with all the help they can get so here’s a chance to help them and have a beautiful garden too!
