Nurseries that grow and sell plants to the Public:-
If a plant is detailed in its own page in one of the Plant Galleries and it occurs in one of their catalogues, then it is noted as being available from that nursery in the Comments Section of that plant's description page.
Coblands Nurseries:-
Coblands Nurseries were founded in 1963 growing a wide range of shrubs, herbaceous, grasses, ferns and trees in the ‘coblands’ of Kent. The production nursery extends over 120 acres on a number of sites in and around Tonbridge, growing approximately a million plants at any one time.
www.best4plants.co.uk now brings this wealth of knowledge and expertise to the general public as well as the trade.
WEBSITE USER INSTRUCTIONS
If a Plant Comparison Page or Wildlife on Plant Comparison Page has colour photographs of plants or wildlife on plants in it, then (o) is prefixed to that Comparison page title in the Navigation Box for that Section.
If you prefer not to see these photographs, then please admire the green background displayed in the other Comparison Pages!!!
Click on Fern name below for photos and description in its Fern Description Page. Click on Back arrow to return to Site Map Page.
In order to compare Ferns by their attributes (foliage colour, form or shape, seed, or together with other plants), click on the appropriate attribute listed below the Site Map entry (the Comparison Pages are still under development, so some will have no photographic content and are therefore not listed in the Site Map). The text box below each thumbnail photo on each Comparison Page details the soil type, soil moisture, sun aspect, Fern height and Fern name.
You can obtain the Fern Description Page of a Fern in addition to the Comparison Page by clicking on the thumbnail photo of that Fern in that Comparison Page. Click on Red button to close Plant Description Page.

Why do so few Fern nurseries who supply directly to garden owners in the UK and so few garden owners in the UK donate the use of their Fern photos of the foliage, form or spores to this website? Where else can you compare plants by flower colour, foliage colour, form or seed/fruit shape/colour with their soil type, soil moisture, sun aspect and height? . |
