The nursery specialises in rhododendrons, azaleas and kalmias that will happily grow outdoors in Derbyshire at 700 feet. This ensures hardiness for most garden situations

We are able to advise on planting schemes and on-site visits can be arranged.Mail order is also available, see our contact page for details.

After a visit to the gardens take a look at our revamped menu which is full of seasonal local produce, home baked cakes, breads, and soup as well as a refreshing cup of tea or coffee in our Tea Garden Cafe.
 Information on the background years of Lea Gardens from the founder John Marsden-Smedley, can be found on our 'History' page.
