As the country wrapped up against the snow and freezing conditions over the weekend of Garden Re-Leaf and Mother's Day, garden centres throughout the land were encouraged by an increase in buying activity in their stores.
Following the successful takeover of Alex EuroTrading Limited earlier this year, Bell Brothers Nurseries has announced plans to expand into the bulb market.
The company will now be known as Bell’s Horticultural, which will then have subsidiary businesses for clarity on each specialist category.
The Bell’s Nurseries range includes pot and pack bedding, herbs, soft fruit, and pot and pack vegetables.
The Bell's Flower Bulbs category of the group will specialise in the supply of spring and summer flowering bulbs in many packaging options, plus seeds, flowering kits and gift lines.
Managing Director Robert Bell points out that these garden products align well within the Bell’s Horticultural current business.
“Bell Brothers Nurseries Limited are a recognised name for the supply of garden plants to the garden retailers, therefore adding more dry goods, including bulbs, is a natural extension to our product range and in additon forms a perfect package within our business,” said Robert.
“This is a very comprehensive range and I am confident that we will be able to meet every customer requirement. I firmly believe that we are now ready to succeed within the bulb market.”
