Description

Perrywood is an independent, family-owned garden centre and nursery. They work hard to produce and source quality plants for your home and garden. Whether you are a plant enthusiast or want a day out with the family they have the products, customer service and facilities you are looking for. Their large covered areas allow you to visit whatever the weather, and you can enjoy a home cooked meal or afternoon tea in a light, bright modern coffee shop. Their 10 acre site is surrounded by beautiful countryside, backing onto woodland and views over the Kelvedon valley.

History

Perry Wood is next to the site and lent its name to the business back in the 70s when Alan Bourne’s parents, Mary and Les, bought the land and called it Perrywood Nurseries. They started out growing seed potatoes and pick-your-own strawberries. After working for Colchester parks department, and seeing the supermarkets begin to take over the strawberry market, son Alan Bourne started to grow plants to sell from the front of the property and took over the business with his wife Karin in 1983. Over 25 years they gradually grew the site into a garden centre which now attracts customers from all over Essex.

Our home-cooked food is a firm favourite with many of our regulars, including the cycling club who pop in half way round their route for tea cakes. Groups of friends and families return again and again for the Homity pie, cream teas and views from the conservatory. In spring time you can even watch nesting blue tits via the nest box camera.
