Pan Global Plants - Nursery

Visited on June 5, 2024 I am catching up on my trip to England, 2024.  Click here to see the other gardens we visited or click here for the Overview post.  

This is our second visit to Pan Global Plants, a specialist nursery in the UK. Located on the border with Wales near Frampton-on-Severn.  If you visit, give yourself 20 minutes to get lost.  We got lost both times but quickly figured it out.  Hint:  Their long driveway leads you astray. See video below.

Pan Global Plants was born in spring 1997. ‘PGP’ soon got a reputation for offering rarities and desirables and over the years picked up a lot of press attention. Now it is one of the most celebrated specialist nurseries in the UK and, pre-Brexit, sold to all corners of Europe, introducing many new plants never offered before. Nick has travelled extensively to botanise across the temperate world, having visited at least 25 countries or biogeographic zones, some many times. =According to their website

Going to visit specialist nurseries in the UK like Pan Global and Special Plants, for me is a form of plant-hunting.  Not in the plant’s ecosystem but those in human cultivation.  A lot easier and less ecological baggage.
