Experience a whole world of horticulture at Myerscough College Plant World. Set amidst the beautiful Lancashire countryside, adjacent to the A6 at Bilsborrow, this all weather attraction offering an interesting and educational day for all the family.
Come and see bananas growing in the Tropical Zone, coffee plants and pineapples in the Edible Zone, or experience a Mediterranean atmosphere in the Temperate Zone as well as beautiful specimen plants in the Cacti Zone.
Feel free to visit the extensive gardens with traditional herbaceous and themed borders for a relaxed walk or for really creative ideas on how to style your own gardens. Part of the gardens house the display for the National collection of Eryngiums.
Within Plant World you will find the Plant Centre, selling an interesting range of plants for your house and garden, most of which are produced on our own nursery.
Plants include cacti, citrus fruits and bougainvilleas - great for the conservatory!
Alongside a great selection of unusual trees, shrubs and traditional herbaceous perennials for the garden, we also supply garden sundries including English terracotta pots and top quality compost and a wide variety of garden ornaments plus a great selection of seasonal bedding plants.
The Garden House Café overlooks the beautiful open gardens, arboretum and ornamental pond and has indoor and outdoor seating so you can really make the most of the summer weather.
