Welcome to Dark Star Plants

My name is Jenny; I run a small nursery near the village of Osmotherley on the edge of the North York Moors.

I specialise in growing dark foliage & dark flowering plants, with colours ranging from coppers & browns, through purples & reds to pure black. I also offer other colours to complement and contrast with the darker range, such as silvers & acid greens. Unusual plants for the discerning gardener.

My nursery has won awards at the Harrogate Flower Shows, and has been featured in the Daily Telegraph Gardens Supplement.

Christmas Wreaths on Nursery Shed, with Vic my Lurcher

I have developed a passion for these plants over the last twenty years, and what started as a small collection in my own garden has grown into the large range on offer from my nursery today.

Many of the plants I sell are grown from seed and cuttings at the nursery. I have gained a City & Guilds 1&2 in Horticulture, National Certificate in Horticulture and Diploma in Garden Design.

I sell at the Harrogate Flower Shows, Farmers Markets , plant fairs and various National Gardens Scheme open gardens (NGS- Yellow Book). Please see my ‘Farmers Markets ’ and ‘Plant Fairs’ pages for dates. A limited mail order service is also available, please e-mail any requests.

*Please note, due to its remote location I am unable to sell directly from the nursery.

Happy Gardening , hope to see you at a Farmers Market or Plant Fair soon!
