FOR BOTH THE HOBBYIST AND THE PROFESSIONAL

World's End Nurseries

Description:

Standing on an acre of land, the oldest of Chelsea's nurseries occupies a site used for hundreds of years as a thriving garden, says Dorothy. "Today it offers a calm and slightly quirky green oasis at the end of the bustling King's Road in London. Pick your way through the eclectic mix of plants and pots artfully arranged around the meandering pathways, making it more like a visit to a secret garden than a walk through a garden centre. Indoor and outdoor plants fight for space with garden statuary, planters, benches and even the odd gazebo."
