The faulty petition link at bottom of page link below has been corrected Please visit our action page and info on what National Trust has done, click the red link below. littleheathfarmnursery.co.uk/saving-little-heath-farm.html We are delighted that our MP Victoria Collins has confirmed her support and is willing to write to the National Trust and to Secretary of State for DEFRA. We want to stop the otherwise inevitable arrival of bulldozers to clear what was and remains a unique, beautiful place of respite and enjoyment. We are greatly distressed to say that Little Heath Farm Nursery and Tearoom have been forced to close down from 1st April This is due to the action of The National Trust who demanded a fee of £335,000.00 be part of an access agreement to pass over the strip of land they own alongside Little Heath Lane despite Little Heath Farm having long-term rights passing over that land for more than 420 years. The fee is only payable if we convert the old shops and store to residential, but it heavily reduced the Farm value. Our bankers for the existing cottage renovation work are not at fault but now they have no option but to foreclose to sell. They have been supportive and helpful over the past 14 months to give time to find a solution. Each one we found was killed by that National Trust action. ----------------------------------------------------------- |
These are a few pictures of our Nursery and the types of plants we sell. After much restoration work we managed to open our revamped shrubbery late 2019. The pathways are now starting to settle in and look established. We have continued work to restore the Nursery
The small pond by the bird feeders has been revived to show the lovely large ironstone boulders that were set around it. As always, the numerous birds to the feeders provide many customers an entrancing time watching them while having tea and cakes. |

So that we can process and grow on a greater level of plant stock, during 2025 our focus continues to be completing the huge task of re-establishing and increasing the greenhouse, tunnels and other areas and facilities used to prepare and nurture plants prior to sale. When we started this July 2018, we expected it to be a 3 year project. |The 2 years of Covid, has made this take somewhat longer. We are continually building up the Nursery stock and display features to ensure our customers enjoy the special magic of Little Heath Farm Nursery.
