Welcome & Woof!

Hello. my name is Rufus. I am the Official Art's Nursery Mascot and Greeter. I would like to welcome you to our fun and relaxed 10+ acre nursery and garden centre.

I am a male Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and I will do my very best to greet and play with all visitors. Especially those two-leggers who can throw a ball for me. I love to run, play, chase things and swim each and every day.

I love four-leggers too, but remember, that the nursery is my home and sometimes I can be grumpy. I would prefer that you four-leggers bring your master on a leash as you know how crazy those those two-leggers can get when they see so many plants, shrubs, trees and things for their gardens.

I also don't like those loud motorcycles - they really hurt my ears. I don't bite but I may bark! Grrr....

Have a look below at me playing and growing up at the nursery:
