Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford has formally unveiled its 95th anniversary logo and launched the celebration of its deep-rooted horticultural heritage this month.

The award-winning, leading commercial grower was established in 1930 by Harry Williamson*, who was an innovative grower and began the business by cultivating roses and selling them by mail order.

Heather Williamson, Harry’s granddaughter and Wyevale Nurseries’ Chairman, explains: “It’s such an honour to have been part of the fabric of British horticulture for 95 years. As one of the UK’s largest and most established growers of plants for garden centres and the amenity market including hedging and transplant stock, our legacy is built on a deep understanding of the land, the landscape sector and garden centre industry, and the evolving needs of our customers.”

Wyevale Nurseries is a family-run business that is a leading wholesale supplier of British sown and grown trees and plants.

To celebrate its milestone year, it has officially launched its 95th anniversary logo, which will be used this and next year, and is working towards marking its birthday more fully in 2026, with bigger plans being made for its 100th year in 2030.

Heather adds: “It’s very exciting to be so close now to our 100th anniversary, which is just over four years away. We’re so proud of our achievements – there are so many to name, but one of those is being one of the biggest producers of one + one transplants in the country – a core part of our offering for decades. These young plants form the backbone of countless woodland, hedgerow and rewilding projects across the UK. That’s amazing and it means we’ve had a hugely significant positive impact on the environment. Our stock is carefully raised to thrive, thanks to the use of selected native species and provenance-specific seed that support biodiversity and resilience in planting schemes.

“We grow plants with purpose – from hedging for highways and housing developments to native transplants for habitat creation and across to our retail offering. Our range is selected for performance and long-term environmental value. We’re constantly investing in our production methods, people and plant health protocols to ensure we can continue to supply the landscape sector with consistent, high-quality material year after year. We’re active members of key industry organisations such as the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) and Confor.

“We’re also an award-winning supplier to UK garden centres and are proud members of the Garden Centre Association and Horticultural Trades Association too. Our highly experienced and knowledgeable retail team works closely with retailers to help deliver their needs including putting together tailor-made packages and following the latest trends to help predict demand and boost plantaria sales in the year ahead.”

Wyevale Nurseries, which supports a team of more than 120 personnel across all departments, supplies garden centres, landscape contractors, local authorities, foresters and landowners with a comprehensive array of trees, shrubs, hedging, herbaceous and specimen plants.
