Welcome to Rapkyns Nursery, a cottage garden nursery, set in an idyllic countryside location, specialising in perennials, shrubs, climbers and grasses, all grown ourselves on site.

Opening March to the end of October on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We are open from 12pm - 5pm. Other times by appointment.

As well as visiting the nursery, you can find us at many events such as local plant fairs, farmers markets and National Garden Scheme open gardens. We are able to take orders for plants to any of these locations for collection or offer mail order between September and April.

"We've rounded up the best nurseries in Britain for year round inspiration. Here Sarah Raven visits Rapkyns in East Sussex for advice on late perennials."
