Hardy perennials, shrubs and herbs grown in Northumberland – BE INSPIRED!
Open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11am-4pm.
From us all here in Northumberland, welcome to Northern Ark Nursery! We’re based on the edge of Longhorsley, just off the A697.
We specialise in hardy plants grown at the nursery – if they grow here, they’ll grow almost anywhere! In season, we also grow a large variety of unusual herbs. Some 95 per cent of plants are grown from cuttings taken from our own stock plants and from seed.
