Welcome to Madley Plants, thanks for visiting. We’re an independent, family-run nursery, growing and selling top quality British plants in Madley, 7 miles west of Hereford.
We don't specialise in any particular type of plants at the nursery, we try to have as broad a range on offer as we can, all sourced as locally to Hereford as possible. Our focus is to be our area’s top independent nursery that sells seasonal plants and is able to provide constructive help and advice. If you're not sure what you're looking for, grab us for a chat and we can suggest different options that might work well in your garden, we're more than happy to help. We’re open 7 days a week, from 10am until 4pm.
On the plant side of things we have a wide range of shrubs and perennials all year round that are topped up regularly so it’s always worth coming over for a nosey around 👀. If we don’t have what you want, then we’d be more than happy to see if we can source it for you.
What’s going on at the nursery then? (updated 16th May)
We’ve got loads of shrubs, perennials, climbers, compost and more all ready for you to fill your gardens with! But right now, it's well and truly time for summer bedding. We have something for everyone, whether you're filling pots, baskets, borders or all of those! There are also some instant baskets for sale starting at £12 for a petunia or fuchsia basket and the mixed ones start at just £15.
If you’re in need of refreshment while you’re here, we do have a fridge full of chilled drinks and a freezer full of fabulous ice cream from the lovely team at Rowlestone Farmhouse Ice Cream. There’s plenty of outside seating too, so if you’d like to take break, just grab one of us and we’ll sort it for you!
We recently had a massive delivery of fantastic new pots and merchandiser Ben has been in to arrange them beautifully (and to see the dog, obviously 🖤). There are new glazed options as well as a stunning lead range which isn't actually lead so is much lighter 😁 . We've also had our regular terracotta selection and the half price ones re-stocked too - it's all good!
In need of some garden related ‘things’?
Also in our shop, we stock all the things you'd expect to find at your local nursery. There’s a wide range of garden essentials such as tree ties, plant labels, wire and vine ties right through to watering cans and great gifts for gardeners. We also have some gorgeous garden twines, pruners, loppers, plant food, child and pet safe garden care products, spades, forks as well as hosepipes and associated accessories. If you like your fires inside or out then we stock Certainly Wood's logs, flamers and kindling and as an alternative to logs for cooking on, we have Birchwood Forestry's pure hardwood charcoal in stock in either 3 or 6kg bags. Oh, and we stock a variety of composts too; peat reduced multi-purpose, ericaceous, Melcourt 'RHS Endorsed' peat-free multi-purpose and grow bags.
Gift vouchers?
We also sell gift vouchers that can be spent here and can be bought either in person at the nursery or online here.

As well as our plants we also create beautiful potted displays. These can be made to order in pots either bought at the nursery or provided by you. We also do single flower or mixed flower hanging baskets heading into both Spring and Winter and are happy to take orders if you have any specific plant or colour themes in mind.
A brief history
The original nursery launched on this site in 1997 and was in the hands of the same owners until July 2015. It was then taken over by Michele and Simon who moved to Madley with their three boys, Harry, George & Jim. They re-named the nursery Madley Plants and opened the cafe in March 2016.
