ABSTRACT
There may be romantic appeal to running a lavender nursery, but there is little room for this notion on the modern nursery. Downderry Nursery, however, offers a sensual experience which compensates for a great deal of time, worry and effort. Set in the peaceful beauty of a Victorian walled garden, in the heart of the Kent countryside, it is also the home of the Lavender and Rosemary National Plant Collection® in Kent (Figure 6.1). It affords both customer appeal due to its display gardens of lavender and is a successful commercial concern.
