Welcome to Little Heath Farm Nursery
The
nursery was started in the early
1970’s by
David Mansfield-Thomas. The nursery, Little Heath Farm, is
currently run by
husband and wife team
John and Jan Spokes. They had
been exhibiting alpines for a number of years at various local shows
when the opportunity to run Little Heath Farm arose. They have now been
at
the nursery for ten years or so and have managed to turn
what was once a charming but somewhat neglected site into a quiet and
picturesque cottage garden.
trees, with
many unusual varieties scattered in all the
categories. The
site is also occupied by a tea-room, where you can sit and enjoy a
piece of home-made cake
and a pot of tea. The farm is also home to 'Sanuk', a tribal arts and
crafts shop stocking items from around the world, many of which are
fair-trade, as
well as Hertfordshire honey (some hives are just below the nursery) and
local
free-range eggs. In the summer months, sitting outside by the
pond and beneath the grapevine, it is possible to share the space with
the numerous
butterflies and birds that visit the famr. The perfect way to relax
after an afternoon pottering around the nursery.
The opening times for
the Nursery, Tea Room and Sanuk are
Mon-Sun : 10am to 5pm
