Exedra Nursery
Based at Painswick Rococo Garden, we are a traditional nursery, growing many of our perennials on site, and in peat-free compost too.
About our Garden
Painswick Rococo Garden is quirky and pretty unique.
Designed in the 1740s as a fanciful pleasure garden for the owner of Painswick House and his guests, today it’s a place to roam free, to get up close and personal with nature, or to feel the warmth of the sun on your face as you take in the spectacular views of the Cotswold countryside and magical follies.
