Capel Cottage Nursery is a charming independent nursery conveniently located on the A228 within a quick drive of Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone and Tonbridge. We have ample car parking and paved access for disabled visitors and families with pushchairs.

We stock a wide range of garden plants for all situations and seasons.  We have an extensive stock of cottage garden perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs vegetables and herbs.  We grow most of our own plants on site, both out of doors and undercover.  We also stock a wide range of plant care products, pots, garden ornaments and furniture as well as landscaping products.

We are proud that our commitment to quality, expert knowledge and friendly, personal service has made us the nursery of choice for locals as well as garden enthusiasts from further afield.

No Dogs Allowed – Unfortunately due to a number of recent incidents, we have made the decision that dogs are no longer allowed at the nursery ~ with the exception of assistance dogs.

Compost, Bark & Mulch – Small Spend, Big Results

Want stronger plants, fewer weeds, and less watering? A few bags of the right compost or mulch can transform your beds, borders and pots in one afternoon. Load the trolley and see the difference this season.

Why it’s worth it

Give your garden an instant upgrade with a fresh layer of compost or bark, borders look finished and professional straight away. You’ll slash weekend weeding by blocking light to weed seeds, cut watering because mulch locks in precious moisture, and boost plant health as organic material feeds the soil for long-term fertility. As a bonus, that cosy blanket insulates crowns and roots against winter cold snaps, so plants bounce back stronger in spring.

Pick your power-up

Choose the right mix and watch your garden take off: our peat-free multi-purpose compost is the easy, go-to for reliable growth in pots, planters and baskets; John Innes blends add loam-based stability for sturdier plants and fuss-free watering; seed & cutting compost gives a fine, gentle start for quick, even germination; and ericaceous compost keeps heathers, camellias, rhododendrons and blueberries flowering and vibrant. Finish borders and paths with decorative bark or woodchip for a smart, uniform look that also suppresses weeds, then build long-term health with organic mulch/soil improver to feed the soil food web and boost resilience.
