The Autumn Olives (Elaeagnus umbellata) have also been very productive, an elegant large shrub or small tree, it has prolific orangey-red berries with a silvery speckle, see our

'Large Shrub' page for details. Autumn Olives are currently out of stock but more will be available in the spring.

New for us this autumn is the Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia paperyfera), a medium sized handsome tree from Asia with weird but sweet fruit. See our 'Tree' page for details

Also, two lovely native plants, the Dewberry and the Dog Rose, that will provide a crop for people and wildlife alike.

For those of you planting up your wildlife gardens, take a look at our new 'Native' page where we have a small selection of native species now available with more coming in next season.

Those edible flowers we still have left are also on offer at £4.00 each

See below.

Babington Leek (allium ampeloprasum var. babingtonii) A native of our shoreline, this onion relative looks very like a leek but is perennial and produces little bubils instead of flowers, which are edible and allow the plant to spread in sun or part shade.

Canadian Meadow Garlic (allium canadensis) This member of the onion tribe will also thrive in sun or part shade and provide leaves for most of the year and tasty white flowers for the early summer.

Cowslip ( primula veris) Everyone knows the cowslip once so common in our meadows. Given the chance it will naturalise in your lawn giving you a good excuse not to mow and the flowers, apart from making a traditional country wine, are great in a spring salad.

Ladies Leek (allium cernuum) This is one for a dry sunny border where it will thrive and spread. It has fair sized bulbs, provides leaves and has bright pink bell like flowers through most of the summer that are delicious.

Ramson (allium ursinum) Our native wild garlic is at home in a woodland, it loves the shade where it grows naturally often in large drifts. It provides lots of large green leaves with a mild garlic flavour from early spring and lovely white flowers in May.

Sweet Violet (viola odorata) Delightful wildflower, native of our woodlands. The leaves make a good edition to early salads and the flowers, if you can bring yourself to do it, are much used in confection and look stunning in the salad bowl.

Siberian Purslane (Montia sibirica) Oddly from the N. W. US, not Siberia, but useful young salad leaves in the late winter and spring when it can form good ground cover in the shade, disappearing in the summer. Although only an annual it will self seed all over...

Three Cornered Leek (allium triquetrum) Great for shade, lots of white flowers in spring. All parts are edible, leaves available late winter early spring, flowers are delicious with a mild garlic flavour.
