Nursery production

We aim to grow a healthy plant that is sure to perform in your garden. We believe that a clean nursery is essential for plant health, and many people comment on how clean our nursery is. The nursery is inspected by APHA Animal and Plant Health Agency about 4 times per year to ensure that all our plants are healthy and free from notifiable diseases. Wherever possible we use organic practices and have reduced our chemical usage to just a few sprays per year. We use fresh brewed compost tea, plant tonics, organic fertilizers, peat reduced composts, garlic, seaweed and soapy sprays to grow healthy plants that will perform in your garden. Our potting programme is for more than 100,000 pots per year, so we are highly mechanised with automatic irrigation, mixing machines, potting machines and electric buggies to move plants around. There are usually about 7 staff on the nursery, with more in summer.
