Outside in the main plant area there is a fantastic range of plants maintained to a high standard. You will find everything you need for your garden whatever the size.We stock varieties of hardy trees, shrubs, climbers and bulbs as well as seasonal bedding plants.

Should you wish to plant a fruit garden or herbaceous border we stock all you need for that too. Almost all the Herbaceous plants and a large percentage of the hardy shrubs we grow ourselves in our nearby Long Acre Nursery (not open to the public). So we know the history of these plants and have great pride in their quality and all the hardy plants we offer for sale are covered by our usual guarantee.Throughout the year our horticulturally qualified staff are on hand to give free advice on what to plant where as well as helping with any pest or disease problem. The Cleeve Nursery Border Design Service offers three levels of advice or planning. We use local knowledge and expertise to design a new area from scratch or revamp an existing garden. Even a small change can make a big difference and we can always tailor our services to what you specifically need.

After listening to our customers requests, all our coffee is now made to order from freshly ground beans, so that you get the freshest coffee possible - we are sure you will taste the difference.

Choose from Latte (milky coffee), Mocha Cappuccino (a blend of hot chocolate and espresso coffee) or straight Americano as well as most peoples favourite Cappuccino! We only serve Fairtrade coffee and have a big following for this great Sumatra bean.

Our Scones and teacakes are locally made in Nailsea and Portishead. While are delicious cakes are made just over the border in Devon.If you want something more savoury, our delicious panini are available all year round and our homemade soups are very popular on our winter menu.To keep you warm while you rest a while we have recently installed a wood burning stove. This uses logs from our own and surrounding woodlands and reduces our reliance on gas.
