Hi, I'm new to exotics...well new to gardening full stop! My first house, first garden.
I have got a collection of tropical plants already but have now got obsessed (as the girlfriend says) wondered if people could name some good places to get some exotics from, I live in gloucester but don't mind traveling if worth it
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
I would go to either Cotswold Garden Flowers or Pan Global Plants for something a bit different.
Both should be fairly close to you.

Welcome aboard Scott . Like Adam says you wouldn't go wrong with either of those, plenty of good places in Devon too if you're that way.

Re: Newbie!!! Looking for exotic nurseries??
Where will I find these members own nurseries? I have Alcosia Calidora on my wish list if you know anyone selling??
