On World Bee Day, we thought we would share some of our favourite images of bees that we've taken buzzing around the Nursery here at Brackendale. With a wide range of trees, shrubs and perennials, there are lots of different species that can be selected for successional planting, to ensure fabulous pollen rich flowers every day of the year. So, if you'd like some inspiration for planting ideas to support and encourage more of these amazing pollinators into your garden, visit and talk to us about all the plants that we have available that are just perfect for pollinators 🐝

A batch of 60 Lavender Hidcote, pictured under a beautiful blue sky in the Nursery today. Collected for a garden near Wimborne, these will form a new low growing hedge - full of scent and colour. Loved by bees and other pollinators, Lavender Hidcote and Lavender Munstead grow well locally, produce masses of lavender-blue flowers throughout the summer, and are popular choices for borders, pots and containers. Whether you're looking for a large quantity of plants for a hedge, or just one or two for a pot or container, visit and find the right plants for your garden. Find us at Horton Road, Three Legged Cross, BH21 6SD or online at www.brackendalenurseries.co.uk/visit

Pictured are some semi-mature Photina Pink Marble plants that we currently have available in the Nursery. Photinia Pink Marble has striking variegated foliage, white spring flowers, and autumnal red berries; providing nectar for bees, and shelter and food for birds and other wildlife. When placed in a straight line and pruned annually, this variety will quickly develop into a dense hedge to screen fences and buildings - or divide areas within a garden. Growing in 35ltr containers, at 150-180cm high, these plants provide immediate impact, and were collected over the weekend for planting out in a garden in Blandford.

If you want to have some fabulous colour in your garden next Spring, visit the Nursery and choose from our selection of Rhododendrons and Azaleas. These are now in full flower, and were buzzing with bees and looking stunning under today's beautiful blue sky. Preferring acidic soils, these plants thrive in many gardens locally, and offer instant evergreen impact and seasonal interest. We have a choice of varieties, along with ericaceous compost and feeds to use when planting. Rhododendrons available include: Markeeta's Prize, Furnivall's Daughter, Luteum, Albert Schweitzer, Cunningham's White and Dagmar.

As today marks the start of National Gardening Week, every day this week, we will be focusing on different groups of plants that we have growing in the Nursery. Evergreen hedging and screening plants are often in demand, and pictured is a collection of Thuja Plicata Atrovirens, in 20ltr containers, 210-240cms tall, ready for delivery to a garden in Parley. More commonly known as Western Red Cedar, Thuja Plicata is a hardy variety, and trees of this size will create an immediate screen and develop into a dense hedge to quickly provide privacy within a garden. If you want to improve your outlook, by screening a new house, window, or outbuilding in an adjacent property, then visit and take a look at the plants we have available. Our team are always happy to answer any questions you may have, and offer advice to help you find the right plants for your garden.

We have a great appreciation of the diverse local area that we are fortunate to live in, and love sharing our knowledge and experience covering everything to do with plants, planting and their on-going care.

Maintaining our growing heritage, we continue to propagate plants in the Nurseries to ensure that we can offer a broad choice throughout the year, with our range including azaleas, rhododendrons, shrubs and climbers, ornamental and fruit trees, herbaceous perennials, grasses, conifers, heathers and hedging plants.
