The Nursery
Slack Top Nursery is one of the UK’s top 10 specialist growers of
alpines and other hardy plants.
It is a small nursery but you can choose from a very extensive range of
interesting alpine and non-alpine plants, perfect for traditional and
contemporary containers, terraces, window boxes and other garden settings.
We also offer expert advice on plants for all garden settings, from dry
shade to full sun, and all things in between!
We are selective with what we grow and try to choose the best varieties
– whether it be for beauty of flower or foliage, compact form or
hardiness, so that you can choose something a bit different and be sure
it will do really well.
Situated at 900ft in the Pennines, the tough climate means tough plants.
Everything is grown on the nursery – nothing is bought in –
and our testing climate results in robust, healthy plants that readily
establish. We also make all our composts incorporating plenty of grit
and our own sterilised loam, which may be more costly to produce, but
results in far stronger plants.
Plant sales
Our plants are available for sale either from the nursery, from the shows
and plant fairs we attend throughout the year, or by mail
order (minimum order value £30 excluding postage). Please note
that we can only accept payment at the nursery by cash or cheque.
Handmade Containers
    
We also offer Handmade containers for sale, individually crafted and frostproof,
in a variety of sizes, with prices from £25. Bags of alpine grit
and our special recipe alpine compost are also available, along with Gift
Vouchers in £5 or £10 denominations.
