Dove Cottage Nursery & Garden, Shibden Hall Road, Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX3 9XA
A short drive from junction 27 on the M62 between Leeds and Manchester is the Dove Cottage Nursery and Garden on Shibden Hall Road, Halifax. Specialising in hardy herbaceous perennials and grasses Dusty wanted to visit to pick up some particular plant that is only available here and in one other nursery in the UK. They don’t sell candles, smelling paper or serve meals for the over 60’s. They simply specialise in plants and seem to do it very well. Run by Kim and Stephen Rogers they have a small family business on their hands which caters for the true gardener. While I have no idea about plants, Dusty seemed very impressed with the variety and quality on offer and ended up spending a small fortune while I sat in the garden having a coffee from the automatic machine housed in the new wooden hut. Not a doily in sight!
