Heritage Open Day: Heritage tours of vintage greenhouses and buildings, tea, coffee and homemade cakes, demonstration narrow gauge railway running (weather permitting), model railway, railway relics, bric-a-brac, book and craft stalls. The nursery is located close to the railway station in Upper Poppleton, near York, and is operated by a charitable group as a not-for-profit organisation. It is staffed almost entirely by volunteers.
The nursery grows plants for public sale, produces hanging baskets to order and also sells seasonal items such as wreaths. Other sales include a range of craft items, jewellery, cards, decorations for the home and a variety of turned woodwork items.
