Behind the Scenes Tours are new for 2026 — and for the first time, we’re opening the working nursery to individual gardeners.
Until now, tours have only ever been available to Gardening Clubs, Horticultural Societies, or as a rare add-on after one of Rosy’s talks. This year, that changes.
This is a genuine behind the scenes experience. You’ll be walking through the areas our retail customers never see — the propagation house, the polytunnels, the potting shed, and our stock area. Along the way, you’ll see the nursery as it really is: the potting machine in action, our propagation team at work, plants being gathered for shows and fairs, and mail order being packed and dispatched. It’s a working nursery, and on tour days, you’ll be right in the middle of it.
If Rob Hardy is taking your tour, you’re in for a treat — he loves talking to guests and knows the history of Hardy’s inside out. We can’t guarantee his availability, but when he’s there, it adds something special.
