I am Peter Gooch, son of Jonathan and Ruth Gooch who are the partners of Thorncroft Clematis Nursery, RHS Chelsea Gold Medal Winners 2007 - 2008.
We are a specialist clematis nursery and established the business in 1985 as a wholesale business. In 1989 we closed the wholesale part of the business to concentrate on retail which we have continued to grow ever since. 2009 will be our 20th year of retail and mail order and we expect to celebrate this with a range of events at the nursery.
The nursery has been at the top of its field for over 15 years being one of the largest specialist clematis nursery in the country and recently have achieved Gold Medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show two years in a row (2007 - 2008).
