Our nursery is monitored and cared for by our expert horticulturalists, as well as lots of other staff including labourers, sales assistants and delivery drivers. Our horticulturalists will oversee the care of our plants from start to finish, using their expertise to ensure happy, healthy plants ready for sale.

With so much space on our hands, our horticulturalists are able to choose the perfect spot to grow our plants, whether that’s exposed to the elements or tucked away in one of our polytunnels. They will then continue to monitor our plants progress, ensuring they’re receiving the right amounts of sunlight, nutrition and water. When the time comes to sell the plants, they will help to pick and pack them, so that the plants arrive in perfect condition.

And don’t forget, our nursery is open to the public, so you can pop down and see for yourself!
