Who We Are
We are a friendly and close-knit team of people. You will find us professional but at the same time approachable, easy to work with and with a great passion for sharing the accumulation of knowledge built up over the last 60 years in horticulture.
Our story begins in the heart of the Marlborough Downs, those ancient and rolling chalky uplands where farmers and sheep traders have made a living for ages of time. This is the wild and windswept landscape that shaped the childhood of founder David Whiteside, and where he returned after the Second World War to grow his family business.
Further back still, David’s great Grandfather was a captain in the Merchant Navy and ran his vessel and small fleet back and forth across the British Empire trading various goods from far flung corners of the globe to earn his living.
So, we don’t sail ships anymore, trade sheep or farm but we do enjoy doing business with many of Britain’s finest garden designers, landscape architects, The National Trust and the Royal Parks.
Here we are then, half a century later, sailing on… A new generation at the helm but the same pioneering spirit is drawing us ever onward…
