Slack Top Nurseries and Garden

All plants for sale are propagated and grown on our nursery at 900ft, and are fully hardy. We specialise in alpines, and only alpines, so we offer one of the widest ranges of unusual alpine plants in the UK – things that you definitely won't find at your local garden centre. Examples of many of our range can also be seen growing in the garden.


The majority of plants listed will be available throughout the coming year, though we shall inevitably sell out of some, and other (marked below) will be ready later in the season.
A printer–friendly Price List is available for download, but please refer to the actual website list below before ordering as that is the most current for availability. So dive in and have a look at the wonderful alpine gems we have on offer, or indeed choose from our six new alpine plant collections (click on 'Collections' below)

We are constantly adding new plants to the list - enter 'NEW!' into the search box above to see a list of the new additions.

Mail order is accepted throughout the year (Jan-Dec inclusive).
