Antrim, Northern Ireland. National Hosta Collection Holder at Scroggy Wood.

Ideal for growing hostas and perennials as we get little to no frost and ample rainfall throughout the year. As we are a small firm more personal attention is given to our hostas and perennial plants and how they are looked after. Visits to our mail order nursery by the public is generally by appointment only, thus we do not have many casual callers which means we have more time to concentrate on growing plants.

Eco Friendly Nursery
At Bali-Hai Nursery we are trying our best to do our small part for the environment. As we send our plants out bareroot all year round this means we have a lot of spent compost. We recycle this compost and use as a garden mulch. The containers we grow the plants in are washed and re used again. All the cardboard we get into the nursery we cut the boxes up and use this to send our parcels out in. Our envelopes we use to send out Invoices on parcels are from recycled paper. We use old newspapers to pack our plants in. Purchase recyclable packing tape and clear poly bags for putting the plants in. For our non EU customers we use recyclable paper pouches to put the plants in. We try to use as much organic sprays, (Bali-Hai Garlic Recipe for Organic Slug Control), as possible to minimise our use of chemicals on the nursery. We use capillary matting for watering our plants as much as possible it is also more beneficial for the plants especially the Hostas as it keeps the leaves dry and the plants have access to the water all day and not just one sprinkle of water at night from sprinklers. Our computer labels last up to five years outside before they breakdown naturally. We use Solar Panels to heat our water for washing plants roots and have Solar panels to create electricity that we use for our scales when weighing the parcels and for heating in packing shed and running computers. All our lights are low energy bulbs and we use A rated electrical appliances for most of our machinery.
