Nursery Tours Great Success

The Tours around St Bridget Nurseries' production nursery were extremely well subscribed to. A total of six tours were held in aid of Children's Hospice South West. Visitors were asked to give a minimum donation of £2.50 for their tickets and so far over £150 has been raised for the charity. The tours lasted 2 hours and were led on foot by St Bridget's Nursery Manager, Jason. We began with a look at how the nursery prepares for its entries into horticultural shows, such as Devon County Show. Next stop were the greenhouses and a look at the bedding plant production unit and propagation techniques. The inspirational micro-propagation laboratory was a particular highlight - plants growing in effectively jelly! The tour then proceeded through the many container plant beds, the potting department and the tree fields. Everyone who attended the event thoroughly enjoyed it and everyone agreed they had no idea how much care and detail goes into producing the plants at St Bridget's.
