Julie owns Hoo House Nursery they have been offering perennials and alpines for over 30 years.
From their website.
“We grow and propagate as many of our own plants as possible and since 2001, have been using exclusively peat-free compost.
We maintain a list of about 900 varieties which, although not all available at one time, we aim to have the majority of them on offer around the beginning of May.
We pride ourselves on having a good range of plants for every garden situation and can offer advice and suggestions for anyone in need of a little inspiration.”
