Dryad Nursery is a small mail-order-only nursery run by me, Anne Wright, based in Tockwith, North Yorkshire.

I have been growing and breeding miniature narcissi, snowdrops, and hepaticas for over 30 years, and am proud to have been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's highest honour for my breeding work - the Reginald Cory Cup, in 2023. Many of our Dryad cultivars have also been given awards by the RHS.

The nursery was set up originally simply as a way of disposing of excess bulbs from my hobby, and still has this function, but I also now propagate the plants especially for the list. Everything is on a small scale though – it has to fit into my back-garden! 

DRYAD NEWS

You may remember that I passed on our anemone collection to a new nursery near me, Cliff Bank Nursery. I promised to let you know when they would be for sale by post. They have just released their first Anemone mail order list! You can see it on their website here:

More news! Most of my hepaticas have now gone to another new business being developed in Devon. The owner, David Carver, hopes to offer seeds of hepaticas and other short viability subjects next year. I will give you details when that happens. Most of the rest will be going to RHS Harlow Carr.

That leaves me with just the bulbs, and hopefully more time to look after the rest of the garden, and maybe some time off!
