Our Nursery
From just an acre of land in 1925, our nursery has grown to about 100 acres made up of land in Old Rydon Lane, Exeter, and Clyst St. Mary. Much of the land is intensively cropped with nursery stock and the remainder is put aside to allow crop rotation of roses, trees and fruit trees.
The nursery in Old Rydon Lane is the centre of the enterprise and is home to open ground and container grown fruit trees and herbaceus, greenhouses, a propagating department and our very own micro-propagation unit. The nursery was the first commercial hardwood nursery in the world to embark upon the micro-propagation of its stock.
Our Rose field is situated in land behind our Clyst St. Mary garden centre and is open to the public between July and September each year.
We are proud to have been growers of beautiful plants for over 80 years and our customers will always find a wonderful range of quality home-grown plants in our garden centres.
We guarantee all our plants to be healthy and true to name and type. If any of our hardy plants or trees should fail within 12 months of purchase, provided they have been properly planted and cared for, we will be pleased to offer a free replacement under our 1 year hardy plant guarantee.
Occasionally we offer tours of our nursery. Keep an eye on our events page or subscribe to our newsletters for further information.
