Welcome to Athelas Plants
Our Nursery
Athelas (Ath)-(er)-(lass) is a plant nursery first and foremost rather than just an online plant seller. It is worth making the distinction between the two, because as a plant nursery we get to know our plants, care for our plants and have both knowledge and experience of our plants. We are not about shipping in and shipping out on some production line basis, for us our plants, our plant quality and our plant knowledge is what makes the distinction worth noting.

Easter is now upon us and for a change the weather is looking fantastic for the whole four days. We at Athelas are open all over Easter so drop in and have a look at our amazing selection of plants.
Popped in this morning with coffee first at Hope Farm shop. Bought couple more shrubs. Lots of lovely plants. Like being in the Med with such tropical plants.
Happy Easter, Athelas - Looking Great!!!🐰
I thought you had closed?
I popped in in the week and was mightily impressed:-))
Are you planning to have Mandevilles I; this year?

BUSINESS FOR SALE
We would like to announce that after 12 wonderful years of business, we have decided that the time is now right to sell our beautiful nursery, Athelas Plants.
We have a wonderful customer base and a very good local reputation with both retail and trade customers.
This would be a great opportunity for another family, like us, or someone who just loves plants, to own a successful local business in an idyllic, relaxed environment.
Year on year we have enjoyed increased sales and profits. This business is still growing strong and has the potential to do so for many years to come.
If anyone is interested in our little bit of paradise, then please call Nige Hewitt on 07703 721880 for further information.
Please be assured that, in the meantime, Athelas Plants will be very much business as usual.
Wishing you continued success and happiness

Oh that’s a shock Our garden is testament to the care you have put into your plants, a good 90percent have come from Athelas. So thank you & we wish you all success in future ventures, whatever they may be.
Emma when do the bougainvillea and oleanders arrive?
No you can’t we need you 😥
Oh no. That's not good news. I love your wonderful plants. I would buy it if I could.
Sad news for us but very exciting for times for you all! Jackie Richardson, Stephanie Taylor, Mia Ashford can we club together and buy it? (I wish!) xxx
OMG Nooooooo! Best plant nursery in the area. What are we going to do? So sad. Brilliant plant knowledge and help. Fingers crossed that someone will have the foresight to buy this brilliant place. Good luck to you xx
Yeah was just thinking the same, dream job xx
Ohhhh no. You are so specialist, that’s terrible news. Please, please,please don’t sell to someone who doesn’t share your same love of the exotic. There really is no where else. Having said that, I’m sure I’ll see you soon, but if not, good luck for the future.
That's very sad news for all of us customers but hope you have a great next adventure. Let's hope your purchasers keep things as they are and keep selling what we love to look at and buy.
Oh no, you are the only place I like to get my plants - such a shame
Oh no, John is going to need counselling!!! You have all been amazing, and we wish you every success for the future. X
Remember buying plants almost from day one , lovely people
Oh no we will miss you - but we wish you well in your next adventure - don’t loose touch xx
Oh we will miss you. Such a wonderful nursery.
Need help finding buyers?
Whaaaa? Nooooo! Don't go! I love coming out to the nursery. You give such great customer service and advice. Oh I'm feel rather sad but wish you the very best.
Good luck to you all 👍🏻
Will be sorry to see you go - have bought plants from you and always taken visitors coming to stay to see you and they too always loved returning home with a plant or two. Your advice has always been valuable.
We love your plants Paul Langridge and I drive especially to you from well over 2hrs away because of your excellent selection of healthy plants and your exceptional knowledge. Will be truly sorry to see you close.
