Plant Nursery Public Open Day Miscellaneous

Beautiful wholesale plant nursery, normally only open to the trade, is once again open for its monthly retail day.

Babylon Plants is a wholesale nursery set in the Oxfordshire countryside supplying garden designers and landscapers with hardy garden plantsDuring the week, our team grow and pick orders for designers and landscapers across the Southeast of England as well as numerous National Trust propertiesHowever, on the 1st Saturday of every month, we exclusively open to the public so that they too can access the incredible range of plants and enjoy the immersive and inspiring nursery set in the Oxfordshire countryside

We grow and stock a huge range of Trees, Topiary, Shrubs, Perennials, Grasses, Climbers and Ferns which are not generally available to the public in normal garden centresOur range of plants has been carefully chosen to suit current design trends as well being selected to thrive in the local climate and be easy to grow

Summer is nearly here but it’s still an excellent time to plantWhilst the spring blossom may have faded, our trees are growing strongly and still have much to bring in terms of structure and shade to the gardenOur tree range is the largest in the area with a large selection of multistemmed, pleached and standard trees, some over 5 metres tall and all beautiful

We have a large range of box alternatives such as Yew, Ilex, Osmanthus and Portuguese Laurel to choose from if you're looking for lower maintenance alternatives to boxThe moth has been particularly successful and aggressive this year, so many people are realising that perhaps it is time to reconsider if box and the never ending spraying regime required to keep it healthy is still the right choice for them.

We are well stocked with hardy perennials, ferns and grasses as our stock areas are becoming increasingly full as we pot and set out fresh stock and the tunnels are emptied of over wintering stockIf you're looking for Irises, Peonies, Echinaceas, Salvias or other beautiful herbaceous plants to create a stunning summer border, Babylon Plants should be your first port of call

Our small but carefully chosen range of roses is looking fantastic at the moment with the heady scents of old roses filling the air

Our dedicated shade hall is rammed full of plants specifically adapted to grow in shady conditions making it easy for you to find plants for that difficult to fill shady spotWhilst some of the most colourful shade plants are already over, there are still flowers for shade and plenty of interesting foliage and textures that are so important when considering how plant a shady area

Whilst we advocate planting throughout the year as every season has its advantages, spring is particularly popular as a planting time as the ground is usually wet, plants are growing new roots and the temperatures are conducive to establishmentPlants put in now should establish over the coming months leading to healthy vibrant displays this summer and in the years ahead

Babylon Plants doesn't just stock a huge range of beautiful and inspiring plantsWe also run the whole nursery ecologically, using peat free compost, biological controls and recycled and sterilised potsWe've planted a 5 acre meadow/woodland that surrounds the nursery and teems with wildlifeThe meadow is looking stunning at present as the ox eye daisies and other wild flowers come into bloomPlease feel free to ask directions to the meadow and stroll along paths that weave through a huge range of trees planted over the last 30 yearsThis is also a great chance to get ideas on what trees might work in your space as many trees can be seen developing their mature habit and features

Our friendly and expert sales team can help you find and select plants suited to your garden, discuss screening or tree options that might work in your garden or even advise on design and planting advice
