Nicholsons is able to grow crops to a range of
specifications.
We
are happy simply to grow more of an existing line
for you if that is all you require. Otherwise
we are always happy to talk to you about any specific
crop you may need. Our facilities are geared towards
outdoor bed production. Our staff is skilled in
any form of tree or hedging work needed, whether
it is caning, tipping out, clear stemming etc.
We work to high standards of hygiene and crop
husbandry. As a nursery we are generous with our
spacing of plants allowing good light, air movement
and access to crops. Where we can, we like to
create the right environment for plants to thrive,
and while we do use sprays where necessary, we
prefer to keep our chemical use to a minimum.
Over the years we have built up a good range of
suppliers for potting stock – the source
material for any plant going into a pot or being
potted up has to be the best. We passionately
believe as a business that plants must be of as
a high a quality as possible. We have always been
rigorous on grading and quality control –
our suppliers, and more importantly our customers,
all know this!
Typically our pot size range is from 2 litre up
to 30 litre. We can work outside these parameters
and would need to discuss this with the client.
Our
site is 25 acres, eleven of which are currently
under production , but the nursery is always expanding
and bed building – so if we don’t
have the beds ready you can be sure they will
be if the contract were to need it. Currently
we grow upwards of 80,000 plants a year.
We enjoy the whole business of plants here - taking
them through all the stages to being right for
the client. We relish a challenge too, so if you
have a project brewing and need help in the planning
and growing stages then please get in touch.
