Wallace Plants

A little about us

We are a small, family business, all our plants are grown on site. We have been in Laughton since 7th December 1998. It all began, however, many years ago (well about 19/20, anyway!)...

There was a family of 5, the parents (ken and Janet, to you!) and the youngest son (Simon), had a passion for growing and propagating plants of all kinds, and succeeding with many; this resulted in a large garden full of colour and interest, 2 greenhouses, a patio covered in potted plants and 3 people complaining “We need more space.”

The son decided to make a career out of growing plants, and spent 4 years training in horticulture at Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture in Kent. Following this came the decision to relieve some of the stress on the bulging patio, by selling the excess at car boot sales, while looking for a nursery or piece of land for sale.

Help was at hand fairly soon when a local nursery offered a patch to use for growing, and an area of their shop for selling on a temporary basis.

2 years later a small nursery in Laughton, E. Sussex is put up for sale. The site is ideal and we have enjoyed building both a business and reputation in Laughton since

And the rest...well that's the future, but read on for details of the present...

Our complete lists of plants includes over 1000 varieties. With a list this size, especially one that is constantly changing, it is difficult to include every Genus, Specie and Cultivar we have currently available; Therefore, the catagory headings on the left will give you a general idea of the plants and several choice varieties we grow within each catagory, If there is something specific you are searching for, please contact us, either by e-mail, phone, writing or even visit us, we are open from 9:30am till 6pm March - October, 9:30 till Dusk October - March, 7 days a week. Address is at the bottom of the page.

We are continually increasing our varieties, and trying to get hold of those rare and unusual plants for the enthusiasts among our customers, and not to mention increasing our own beloved collections. This means that there is always something new, weird and/or wonderful being grown on the nursery.

Unfortunately, we can not offer a mail order service, but if you want something put to one side prior to your arrival, do not hesitate to ask. We do, however, have plant stalls at several Farmer's Markets, Village Markets locally, and Fairs and Plant Sales in Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Simply Click Here for further details, we would be happy to bring plants to these events for you to collect.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
