Horticultural Nursery

Ours is the largest local authority nursery in the country. It is cutting edge and capable of growing three million plants per year.

Four growing zones, each the size of Millennium Square, are used to grow a variety of plants throughout the year. Each zone can be separated from the others to create unique environments suitable for different crops. We grow over 500 different species of plants and our incredible machinery on site allows us to pot 10,000 seedlings per hour.
