Karuna Nurseries, Cornwall

- gardening the natural way

All photos on this page were taken at Karuna Nurseries

Do you love plants, but don't want them to be
  • grown in peat or other unsustainable media?
  • grown or sold in brand-new plastic pots and with plastic labels?
  • sprayed with pesticides?
  • imported?
  • unsustainably packaged?

Then Karuna Nurseries is for you

Karuna Nurseries is a cottage industry run on Green, vegan principles from my Cornish garden.

My cultivation methods involve
  • no power tools
  • no quarried lime
  • no perlite
  • no rooting hormones

I do not buy commercial growing media or fertiliser, but instead use natural soil, compost and leafmould and make my own comfrey and nettle liquid fertiliser.

Karuna Nurseries enables you to garden with a clear conscience, and it won't cost the earth!

I do not buy in packaging materials apart from tape and string, but instead recycle clean, empty cans, plastic bottles, cardboard, etc. Roots are wrapped in damp cloth, obtained as offcuts from a small local clothing factory, and then in washed second-hand plastic bags or recycled plastic. Stakes used to keep plants in place in the packaging are twig sections harvested sustainably by myself. This policy is not only for environmental reasons, but also to keep down postage costs and consequently keep down the total costs to buyers. It should not compromise the protection of the goods, and I offer a full refund or replacement should goods arrive damaged.

Following notification that an item arrived with no postage label, I obtain proof of posting for all items. It appears that at least one member of Post Office staff does not stick labels on sufficiently firmly. If anyone else has had to pay excess postage, please contact me and I will make a complaint to the Post Office.

I will strive to meet the needs of any buyer who requires an item urgently.

I generally charge progressively less postage per item the more you buy, so as to charge no more than it costs me. If you want a postage quote for a particular selection of items, please contact me.

This year (2009) I expect to offer a wide range of plants, including

  • English oak
  • hydrangea (mophead)
  • honeysuckle (2 types)
  • feverfew
  • Japanese quince
  • Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus)
  • Buddleia
  • flowering currant
  • yellow flag iris
  • birch
  • red valerian (up to 2 colour varieties)
  • evening primrose
  • tutsan
  • oregano
  • marjoram
  • spearmint
  • water mint
  • lemon balm
  • willows
  • hazel
  • dotted loosestrife
  • bugle
  • Astilbe
  • meadowsweet
  • perennial cornflower
  • wild strawberry
  • red campion
  • ash
  • hawthorn
  • elder
  • wild angelica
  • St John's wort
  • wild rose (white-flowered)
  • Kiftsgate rose
  • thyme
  • blackcurrant
  • Chinese bramble Rubus tricolor
  • rose of Sharon
  • snowberry
  • blackthorn (sloe)
  • lavender
  • Himalayan honeysuckle/Pheasant berry (Leycesteria formosa)
  • beech
  • variegated Euonymus (evergreen yellow-and-green-leaved shrub)
  • various cacti and succulents

and possibly

  • hardy fuchsia
  • rosemary
  • primrose
  • antirrhinum
  • daffodil
  • crocus
  • pink-flowered wild rose
  • orange-flowered daylily

Next year (2010) I expect to offer all or most of the plants in the main list plus

  • variegated oleaster (Elaeagnus)
  • primrose
  • purple toadflax

and possibly

  • Cotoneaster horizontalis
  • evergreen cotoneaster

I don't usually have time to list everything that's ready, so please contact me if you would like me to list anything specific from the selections above.

Karuna Nurseries is run from 6 Monks Park Cottages, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15 9QW. No visitors, please, except by prior arrangement, as it is also a residential property.
