Plant Sales
At Core Arts Community Garden behind St Barnabas Church
• Tuesdays 10.00am – 3.00pm
• Or by appointment
An off-shoot of teaching our students and volunteers how to propagate – is all the new plants we generate…! These are for sale in our new community garden behind St Barnabas Church on Tuesdays and event days.
Though a “micro” plant nursery we produce an interesting range of herbs, perennials and seasonal bedding alongside some larger shrubs and trees. We specialise in growing plants suitable for container growing, easy to grow resilient plants and ones useful for community green spaces. All proceeds from our plant sales help to green up the local environment and it’s a great way of supporting the work we do to promote positive mental health through gardening and engaging with nature.
On offer:
- Horticultural advice
- Top tips for thriving plants
- Specialist advice on container growing and challenging sites
Most of the plants we supply have been propagated and brought on by us, under organic gardening principles. We grow a good range of different plants suitable for many different sites, soils, and aspects so there is something for everyone. We never use peat-based compost, herbicides or pesticides and aim to sell as many wildlife friendly plants we have room for to increase bio-diversity.
Plant donations and recycled plastic bags gratefully received!

With enough lead-up time we can supply larger orders for other community based organisations. Please contact us directly on nmercer@corearts.co.uk or 07585 770 868.
