The nursery has been running for 15 years collecting, propagating and growing native trees and hedgerow shrubs from local sources. The nursery is totally organic and is run entirely voluntarily.

Plants are sold to local conservation projects, such as Sussex Wildlife Trust, local nature reserves, University of Brighton, schools and allotments.
