Availaibility lists

I have been using Rosara for several years now on our developments. I have found them to be a very valuable design and supply partner when it comes to our external soft landscaping requirements. Each project we do is bespoke and individual. Rosara has a range of products that can be used to enhance our developments, and most can be seen at their nurseries in North Aston. I find being able to visit the nurseries, discuss my vision with their very knowledgeable staff and also view the products within the nursery a great experience.

I would not hesitate to recommend Nicholsons to any developer or self-builder looking to find a company to advise on a supply plants.

HOSPITALITY

Looking for the best restaurant in the Cotswolds?

From our famous Yurt Restaurant to our understated Tiny Cafe, we are here to welcome you to The Park at North Aston where the Rosara team are all about natural beauty and Nurturing Nature.

Driven by a desire to share our love for nature and the environment, we would love you to visit and enjoy our site in the Cotswolds.

The site sits nestled on the edge of the pretty Costwold village of North Aston and there is a lovely one mile dog walk from our car park, that follows the historic route of the Lady’s Walk - connected to North Aston Hall Parkland (a private house).

Dogs are most welcome in our Tiny Cafe and our Yurt Private dining huts.

EVENTS

Nurturing Nature

At Rosara at Nicholsons, you'll find a delightful array of events designed to bring people together and connect with nature. We host everything from hands-on horticultural workshops—like crafting a vibrant flower yard with Arthur Parkinson—to Christmas wreath-making sessions that end with a two-course lunch at our Michelin-recommended Yurt restaurant. Each event is a blend of learning, sustainability, and sharing ideas that really leave a lasting impact. So, whether you’re into horticulture or simply curious, there is something for everyone.

Nurturing Nature, real impact.

Rosara at Nicholsons has always been about more than running a profitable business. We are a business with purpose.

Our purpose is to Nurture Nature.

We are privileged to be so well connected with the land and it is through this understanding that we see the significant impacts on climate and nature. We are working hard to find a pathway to minimise and mitigate these changes.

We are a team of passionate horticulturalists and environmentalists, dedicated to influencing with purpose and clarity. Collaboration and curiosity drive everything we do.
We believe in collaboration and sharing ideas. Our events are often thought leading and we are brave in this space. We would love you to join our journey and share your ideas.
From elemental the Green Design Tool, to The Forest Canopy Foundation, we offer a home to these two not for profits community interest companies.
