Plant Nursery at Chantry Walled Garden

Donate Now
ActivLives is a local charity, which relies on grants, trusts, donations, fundraising activities, sponsorship & commissions to enable us to provide & develop our services across Ipswich & Suffolk.

Our community-run plant nursery has a wide selection of plants, grown by our volunteers and participants, at competitive prices.

Our friendly team of volunteers will be on hand to offer help and advice.

Our plants are carefully chosen to make your garden or local green space as beautiful and as nature-friendly as possible, attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. We grow in peat-free compost and you can return all your pots and trays for us to reuse – reducing plastic waste.

Our nursery is tended by local people who want to support our charity, together with placements and learners on our various courses and projects, who want to gain experience of working in a nursery setting.

By purchasing plants from us, you are supporting our charity to reach people who need our help.
