Established in 1925, St. Bridget Nurseries is a family business now in
its fourth generation. It is one of the oldest and most well-established
nursery businesses in the UK today that grows: nearly 900 varieties of
shrubs, over 200 varieties of roses, nearly 300 varieties of herbaceous
perennials,
over 130 different conifers, over 200 different ornamental and fruit trees
as well as over 350 types of beddings plants and other seasonal crops!
From just an acre of land in 1925, our nursery has grown to about 100
acres made up of land in Old
Rydon Lane, Exeter, and Clyst
St. Mary. Much of the land is intensively cropped with nursery
stock and the remainder is put aside to allow crop rotation of roses, trees
and fruit trees.
The nursery in Old Rydon Lane is the centre of the enterprise and is home to open ground and container grown fruit trees and herbaceous,
greenhouses, a propagating department and our very own
micro-propagation unit. The nursery was the first commercial hardwood
nursery in the world to embark upon the micro-propagation of its stock.
Our Rose field is situated in land behind our Clyst St. Mary garden centre and
is open to the public in July and August each year.
We are proud to have been growers of beautiful plants for over 80 years
and our customers will always find a wonderful range of quality home-grown
plants in our garden centres.
We
guarantee all our plants to be healthy and true to name and type. If
any of our hardy plants or trees should fail within 12 months of
purchase, provided they have been properly planted and cared for, we
will be pleased to offer a free replacement under our 1 year hardy plant
guarantee.
