"A garden is not designed. It is cultivated — slowly, with attention, and with the humility to accept that nature always has the final word."
— Ruth Henley, Founder

The People Who
Grow Things

Between them they have more than a century of growing experience. They'll tell you exactly what will survive in your garden — and what won't.

Ruth Henley

40 years growing. Knows every plant on the site by its Latin name. Founded Grove in 1981 because there was nowhere in the Cotswolds selling plants grown with proper care.

Ruth Henley Founder
Dan Osei

Trained at Kew. Responsible for every plant you see here — from propagation to the point it leaves the nursery. If a plant isn't right, it doesn't go out.

What People Say

"Dan spent 20 minutes with me talking through what would actually survive in my north-facing clay garden. He talked me out of half my list and suggested better alternatives. Six months later, everything is thriving."

Helen S. — Cheltenham

"Poppy's garden design was worth every penny. She came to see the plot twice before drawing anything. The result is a garden that finally feels like it belongs to the landscape."

Mark & Jo T. — Bourton-on-the-Water

"Kit's wreath-making workshop was the best afternoon I've had in years. The group was warm, Kit was brilliant, and the wreath is still on my door."
