Olive Grove Nurseries

What started as a specialty Mediterranean garden shop has grown into an truly unique and excellent business with food from local and independent sources, art (wood sculptures), a restaurant/​bar/​gelateria, and fire wood for the cold months!
Tim and his wife have created one of the most unique businesses I’ve ever come across, all while being absolutely excellent, generous, and friendly people. With a passion for warmer climates and tasty food, Tim has managed to bring the tastes and sights of the Mediterranean to East Northamptonshire and pulled it off in fine style.
For example, my wife and I used to enjoy a specific tortilla chip brand called Xochitl. We would pick up a bag and some fresh guacamole from Whole Foods on a Friday night with a pizza and relax with a movie and some wine. A few weeks ago, we stopped in here to pick up some cheese and crackers and were giddy (literally) to discover they now stock Xochitl tortilla chips! We pay a premium for them, but so worth it, and a mile from our house. Slowly but surely, everything is coming together for us here in England, haha.
They offer some very high quality kiln-​dried and seasoned firewood during the autumn and winter months. Tim alone can improve our mood with this wood keeping our house warm during the cold months.
Best of all, it is walking distance from our house. On a nice warm summer day, stop in for a panini and salad in the garden, lean back with a mojito in the warm breeze and you will quite literally forget where you are. Not because of an excess of mojitos, but because the atmosphere created by the flora and fauna is that convincing.
Ever-​expanding to meet the needs and desires of the local community, they are now open on Friday evenings with live blues, pizza, and drinks in the restaurant. These three dudes playing the blues are pretty great, too. Makes for a nice date night with your lady or fella.
We are so lucky to have a place like this in our area. Thanks guys, keep it up!
