Nursery
Three generations of growing……
The Wheat family has been growing and supplying plants to our customers since 1937. In our nursery we grow bedding plants, pot plants and hanging baskets. Brian, a plantsman all his life, tends to our famous home-grown plants on the nursery. Along with the nursery team he produces over 2,000 hanging baskets every year as well as crops of Senetti, Fuchsia, Geraniums and Poinsettia. Our customers have learned that for quality and freshness, our plants are hard to beat.

1937 Bill Wheat started his selling his homegrown tomatoes over his garden gate and this quickly turned into a thriving business with premises on Hardwick road.

1994 Brian Wheat son of Bill has a vision to open a garden centre with his son Phil on Chester Road.

2024 The business as it is today. Always evolving but keeping firmly planted in its roots.

Hanging basket time starts early here on our nursery; cuttings for our famous fuchsia baskets are planted in January. The fuchsias are lovingly grown through the winter until flowers appear in early May. Elsewhere on the nursery our staff will have been busy making the first of the 2,000 or so traditional mossed style baskets we produce every spring, 100s of which are customers own replants. Bring us your baskets in April / May if you would like us to refill them for the summer and in September for winter. You can buy off the peg from our ‘ready grown range’ available for sale starting at our May Hanging Basket Open Days.
