About us

 

After working at woodlands for 25 years it looked like myself and the 20 or so staff were to be made redundant.

The owners ‘Wyevale’ decided to sell to Dobbies who understandably didn’t want to get involved in running plant production nurseries as the focus was retail garden centres.

After many sleepless nights my wife and I decided to take the plunge ourselves, with help from both Wyevale and Dobbies we were able to take the nursery on as a local independently owned business and save the jobs of all our loyal hardworking staff. The plan was to continue to supply plants to the many garden centres up and down the country.

Little did we know that a few months later and in the run up to our busiest time an worldwide pandemic would close all of our customers overnight. That’s when www.woodlands-nurseries.co.uk was born.

We offered to deliver our nursery fresh plants direct to the door within 12 miles of the nursery at irresistible prices. It was an overnight success and prevented our new venture from falling at the first hurdle. We have now added plants hand picked from other nurseries providing the best value plants around.

We are forever grateful to our customers, staff and family that made this possible.
