Rose Field Tours

For those of you who have been waiting for our rose field tour dates to be published, the wait is over!

This year they will be held at our Old Rydon Lane nursery on:

Friday 25th July 10.30am

Saturday 26th July 10.30am

Wednesday 30th July 10.30am

Friday 1st August 10.30am

The tour will start from the plant information hut in the garden centre, you will then be guided up to our rose field by company director and 4th generation of St Bridget Nurseries, Tammy Falloon. 

We will explain how we produce roses and demonstrate rose budding (not on the Saturday tour) before letting you wander freely through the thousands of roses to compare their beauty and fragrance.

Visitors should wear appropriate footwear (you will be entering an open ground field). The tour involves a fair amount of standing and walking. Free to attend but numbers are limited on each tour so please call 01392 873672 or e-mail office@stbridgetnurseries.co.uk to reserve your places.

We're back!

Sorry to all our loyal followers who may have thought we'd disappeared over the last 4 months. We haven't but the busy spring season diverted our attention and let's face it who wants to be stuck in front of a PC when you could be outdoors enjoying arguably the best garden season of the year?!

Lots has been happening for our company though including winning the best trade exhibit in the flower and garden show at this year's Devon County Show which sadly was only open for two of the normal three days. We've had propagation tours and are now planning rose field tours (I'll do a separate blog on that) and we've finally progressed into the realm of social media and have a twitter (StBridgetExeter)

and facebook page (www.facebook.com/stbridgetnurseries).

 

Anyway, do engage with us so we know you're out there!

 

Best Wishes

Tammy Falloon

Company Director
