Welcome to the web site of Thistlefield Plants and Design. We grow a range of plants, mainly perennials from the everyday varieties to the more unusual.Thistlefield Plants and Design began life in 2002, born out of a passion for plants. The business was established in a 2 acre field in rural Norfolk, which was overrun with weeds and thistles, hence our name.

We care about wildlife and the environment, therefore no herbicides or pesticides are used. Any waste products, produced on the nursery or landscaping, where possible are reused or recycled. e.g. Old compost, old or non-viable plants, hedge trimmings, weeds etc are composted. Rubble is taken to a local quarry for crushing and reused. Any old wood and branches are sawn up and used on our parents log burner. Etc etc etc….

Our nursery is not open to the public, but our plants can be purchased from this web site, Fakenham Farmers Market (4th Saturday monthly) and at events throughout the county. (See event list). We are only a small and specialize in quality plants and do not grow a vast number of any plant or variety. Normally we try and produce 50 to 100 of each plant per year, however some of the more rare plants or ones that are relatively new to us may only be available in smaller numbers.

One of the perennials we specialise in are Tricyrtis (Toad lily), which we have approximately 40 to 50 varieties, of which we have just imported some new varieties from America.

Our garden design business offers everything from fencing, patios to ponds and a complete planting and design service. We have a previous client portfolio to view on request. Please contact us to arrange an appointment so your requirements and budget can be discussed.

We have teamed up with Mark Reed a sculptor to help design and supply plants for displays at the RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows and have won awards at both Shows.

A new product that we have launched this Autumn is Thistlefield Soups. Fresh soups, hand made in small batches from local organic, herbicide and pesticide free vegetables, when and where possible. Please see the Thistlefield Soup page for more details.
