King John's Nursery and Garden - Etchingham

Marti K.

Off the beaten track, wheelchair access to cafe; not stereotypical at all, but delightfully quirky and full of interesting bits and bobs and books; mismatched furniture including old church pews. Pleasant host with easy conversation, and some great suggestions and information for other spots to visit in the area. If you like gardens, books, old and quirky, definitely worth a visit. They do a farmers market once a month, as well as other fairs and functions.

A garden nursery, with a small cafe, and a delightful garden to view, I had tea and cake, and then wandered around the garden, £5 but very worthwhile. The sunny warm weather just made it a visit to remember.
I shall have to bring my wife the next time I come.

There are garden centres with mountains of tat and heaps of industriously grown plants employing teams of staff of varying abilities and then there are places like King John’s Nursery which is run with passion, skill and care and a team of personal and personable staff.

You come here for the knowledgeable range of plants, grown by the team here, for the beautifully cared for gardens (both around the nursery and in the neighbouring house) or just to sit and have a coffee after filling your bags in the well-curated shop stocked with either locally produced craft or well-found interesting garden related products. You’ll find no tat here. You come here to get closer to plants and be inspired.

The Farmer's Market every month is amazing too.

We just love King John’s Nursery, it’s an absolute delight. I wish Harry and everyone there all the best and look forward to any opportunity to come back.

Absolutely beautiful. Such a lovely place to spend a few hours.
Great little cafe selling good coffee and cake!
We did the annual April Fairy Hunt. The Grandchildren loved it. The gardens are so lovely and the owners make you feel so welcome in their own garden in front of the house.
Worth a visit! The nursery is small but very well stocked. A little gem!

This is a lovely nursery that I visited with my family. The cake was lovely and fresh and all the drinks were Lovely. The garden is an excellent place to have a picnic and admire the interesting flowers. The gift shop is also lovely with hand-painted cards, Soap, plants and lots of other bits and bobs. The staff are lovely and the children’s play area is a nice place for kids to play.

We - including a three and a five year old - went to the nursery for a fairy hunt. Everyone loved it. The chap in the shop was so lovely with the kids, explaining everything. And the kids got stickers as they did a good job finding all the fairies!
There's a lovely shop, cafe with a little play area and beautiful grounds, with everything staffed by a wonderful team.

Thoroughly enjoyable day out. Cafe sticks delicious cakes and a devine hot chocolate. The garden is lovely to stroll around and enjoy the peace. Plants are lovely, yes less of a selection than a major chain but the quality is great and so much knowledge. Its a lovely chilled rustic day out

We had an absolutely lovely visit to King John's Nursery yesterday, fantastic set up - shop full of lovely pieces, great selection of plants and the tea rooms served delicious cake - they even had our favourite Fenitman's Cola - which we enjoyed in the beautiful tea room garden. The visit around the gardens was lovely, incredibly tranquil and you can really tell a lot of love and care has been applied in their creation. I would not hesitate to recommend this little hidden gem.
