NATIONAL FINALISTS!
St Bridget Nurseries in Exeter has been short-listed for the Grower of the Year Awards 2008. The company is a finalist in the Nursery Stock Grower of the Year category and will find out if they have won at the Grower of the Year Awards 2008 taking place in London on 28 February.
The finalists were chosen from numerous entrants from the UK’s growing community and judging took place before Christmas at Haymarket Media Group, publisher of Horticulture Week and Grower. Eleven experts from across the horticultural industry took part in this year’s independent judging panel and reported a record 60 per cent increase in entries from the growing community.
St Bridget Nurseries combines over 83 years of plant growing history and heritage with modern business practices. The nursery is divided into six departments – propagation, micro-propagation (one of the first to propagate hardy nursery stock), herbaceous, greenhouse, container grown nursery stock and open ground nursery stock. Production largely supplies St Bridget’s two garden centres on the outskirts of Exeter, though it also fulfils trade, mail and e-mail orders. The garden centres are also on the Silver Level of Devon Wildlife Trust’s approval scheme promoting and educating customers on products that are wildlife friendly.
You can visit St Bridget Nurseries’ Garden Centres in Old Rydon Lane, Exeter and Sidmouth Road, Clyst St Mary, Exeter. The garden centres are open seven days a week Monday – Saturday 8am to 5pm and Sundays 10.30am to 4.30pm.
