Rare and unusual varieties of trees and bamboos are interspersed with flowering shrubs, perennials, alpines and herbs from all parts of the world. There are delicate, pastel rainbow fountains of Japanese grasses and contrasting Giant Redwoods, grown from seed collected beneath the Earth’s biggest ever living things.

Bideford's Plant Paradise
Abbeycombe Gardens & Nursery is a welcome addition to Bideford’s range of attractions, bringing the exotic and the almost unobtainable to the discerning gardeners of North Devon.
From the easily recognisable and delightfully scented old-fashioned pinks to stunning blue Sea Hollies, dwarf Chinese Buddleias and amazingly tactile South African Restios, Abbeycombe constantly sparkles with that ‘wow factor’.
"Plants to Stimulate the Senses"
The nursery has a passion for the propagation of rare species and unique specimens. This gene pool conservation, as biologists call it, helps to ensure that the Earth’s endangered plants can find happy homes in domestic gardens. And all gardeners love to grow something different.
Abbeycombe aims to ensure that people no longer suffer the disappointment of having bought a plant they liked, only to find that it fails to thrive in their particular garden. By growing a wide range of species and by knowing the exact provenance of the mother plants, the right plant can be chosen to thrive in even the most windswept seaside garden.
The result is a veritable plant paradise for North Devon’s garden lovers, with friendly and knowledgeable staff always available to offer gardening tips and expert advice.
