We sell plants for shade
Not a problem.
Shade is cool.

Shade is cool.
We specialise in plants that thrive in low light, the woodland and the awkward shady corner of your garden. From ferns and hardy begonias to arisaemas, polygonatums and roscoeas, there is something for the experienced gardener and the beginner.
Most weekends in spring and summer we sell at Rare Plant Fairs, Plant Hunters Fairs and other plant fairs around the country. You are also welcome to visit our working nursery, by appointment only please.
Tony has been a gardener for 60 years and the nursery has been in business for more than 15, so he is always pleased to answer questions.
We do not offer mail order. Please telephone for an appointment, after 10.00 a.m.
We sell shade-loving plants at plant fairs, most of them in beautiful gardens. Please check the date and venue before travelling; fairs can be cancelled.
No events at the moment. Have a look at where we have been before, below, or telephone to arrange a visit to the nursery.
Other fair organisers: Rare Plant Fairs and Plant Hunters Fairs.
This is just a small taster of what we have on offer. There are no prices on this site, as stock varies from season to season.
Please contact us for an appointment (after 10.00 a.m.) to make sure we are in to welcome you.
Sat nav: GL6 6NF. Our gate is labelled "UPPER DOREYS MILL", not Shadyplants.com. Please do not disturb our neighbours at "The Doreys".
Take the Stroud Road (A4173) uphill, passing Edge Church; turn left onto Edge Lane and continue for half a mile; drive through a tunnel of trees, then turn immediately left onto the gravel driveway; if you start going uphill again you have missed us, we are at the bottom of the valley.
Leave the M5 at Junction 11A and take the A46 towards Stroud; in Painswick, with the church on your left and the Falcon Hotel on your right, turn right onto Edge Road after about 50 yards; continue half a mile to the bottom of the hill and turn right onto the gravel drive marked "UPPER DOREYS MILL"; do not take the tarmac drive marked "Washbrook Mill/Farm".
