Cheshire Nursery.
We crop 4 acres over two sites in Timperley, Cheshire. We
grow a wide range of bedding and ornamentals including a range
of specials which are very popular with our customer base.
All of these are listed in our Catalogue and Availability
lists.
Although Double 6 and Double 12 bedding plants have been
very popular products for us for many years, we now find that
many of the new plant varieties tend to be vegetative and
thus need to be pot grown. Examples include Kong and new Coleus,
both of which need to be grown in a 2 litre pot. We are also
looking at other varieties which will require 4 litre pots.
Nursery expansion.
We have recently extended our latest poly tunnel. With automated
vented sides and a 3metre roof the extension has increased
its capacity by over 30%. The investment allows us to meet
the increasing demand for sales of core bedding plants and
also pot lines for later summer sales. These include Non-stop
Begonias, Fuscias, Geraniums and Rudbeakia.
We produce Spring, Summer and Autumn hanging baskets from
12” to 24” for garden centres, landscapers and
local authorities, to our own recipe or to clients’
own specification.
We are originators of pot grown Wallflowers. This process
increases the shelf life in the garden centre, as opposed
to a bare rooted plant, which should be planted within days. |
