Hi, I’m Kerry! I’ve been growing plants since childhood, and gardening is a lifelong passion for me.

Thistledome Home-grown Plants is a thriving, local home nursery operating right out of my garden at 26 Elms Road. I grow a large variety of indoor and outdoor plants, and because everything is grown locally, it is perfectly acclimatised for your south Hampshire area garden.
