The Picton Family at Old Court Nurseries

Britain used to be full of family-run nurseries, but few now survive. Old Court Nurseries in the Malvern Hills district is still with us, run by Helen Picton and Ross Barbour, and famous for its spectacular autumn Aster displays. We talk to Paul Picton about the nursery business and the personalities involved during the 20th century. Helen and Ross talk about how they have kept the business thriving during the 21st. Some great garden history memories here and a nicely relaxed chat with an inspiring family.
