Wyevale Nurseries marks 95 years of horticultural excellence

Company: Wyevale Nurseries

Wyevale Nurseries is celebrating its 95th anniversary with a new logo, reflecting its deep horticultural heritage, environmental impact, and continued role as a leading UK grower supplying retailers, landscapers and local authorities.

Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford has unveiled its 95th anniversary logo, marking nearly a century of horticultural excellence. Founded in 1930 by grower Harry Williamson, the business began with mail-order roses and has grown into one of the UK’s leading commercial nurseries.

Heather Williamson, Chairman and Harry’s granddaughter, said: “It’s such an honour to have been part of the fabric of British horticulture for 95 years. Our legacy is built on a deep understanding of the land, the landscape sector, the garden centre industry, and the evolving needs of our customers.”

A family-run business, Wyevale supplies British sown and grown trees and plants to garden centres, landscape contractors, local authorities, foresters and landowners. Its expertise ranges from hedging for housing developments to native transplants for habitat creation, always with a focus on biodiversity, resilience and environmental value.

The new logo will be used throughout 2025 and 2026, with bigger plans already in place to celebrate the company’s centenary in 2030. Among its many achievements, Wyevale is one of the UK’s largest producers of one + one transplants, young plants vital to woodland, hedgerow and rewilding projects nationwide.

Heather added: “We grow plants with purpose. From highways to habitat creation, our stock is carefully raised to thrive, using provenance-specific seed and native species. We continually invest in production methods, people and plant health to ensure consistent, high-quality supply year after year.”

With more than 120 employees, Wyevale is an active member of the Garden Centre Association, Horticultural Trades Association, BALI and Confor. An award-winning supplier to garden centres, it also works closely with retailers to deliver tailored plant packages, predict trends and boost plantaria sales.
