Dicksonia Direct is an enthusiast-owned nursery that specialises in the import of Tree Ferns, Palms and various other hardy exotics from around the world. I started up my business in 2000 due to the fact that many of the plants I wanted were not freely available in my local garden centres.
The current plant range is comprised largely of unusual and rare plants from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, China, Mexico and Chile.
All of the plants that I sell are growing in either of my gardens in Leopardstown, Dublin 18 or Kells Bay Gardens, Co. Kerry and therefore I have first hand experience of all the plants available for sale.
Trading in many of these plants is protected by the international CITES Convention which promotes sustainable use of natural resources.
I have imported and sold plant exotica for over ten years and I’m continuously looking to develop new lines in unusual plants. I have a large stock of tree and ground ferns offering a huge choice of plants to both the professional and amateur gardener.
Both wholesale and retail enquiries are most welcome.
Should you wish to visit my plant nursery, situated in Rosanna Lane, Ashford, Co. Wicklow please phone or e-mail me for an appointment. It is conveniently situated just off the M11 motorway, 800 metres past Mount Usher Gardens.
Dicksonia Direct exhibit at all the main shows in Ireland (see Shows tab).
I would be delighted to meet fellow enthusiasts and rare plant lovers.
Visits to my garden in Leopardstown by individuals and clubs can be arranged by appointment between the months of May and September.
To visit Kells Bay Gardens, please visit www.kellsgardens.ie for full opening times.
I am always happy to offer advice and ideas on ‘Fernscapes’ involving ferns and other woodland plants to create a fernery or other designs incorporating the plants I have on offer.
I have a larger range of plants that are not included on the lists as they are not always in stock. These will be on view at the nursery and on display at the shows.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my website and welcome your comments on any aspect to help improve the site.
