Farplants

Based on the West Sussex coast near Chichester, our co-operative group has five member nurseries, each specialising in different plant ranges. From small beginnings in 1972, our group now grows over 11 million plants a year on 70 hectares (170 acres) of covered / outdoor production units with a retail value of over £50 million. We grow over 2000 different varieties and employ up to 500 staff during the peak gardening period through the Spring and early Summer.

Innovation, marketing, highest quality and in-house plant breeding are core to the success of our business. Many of the best-selling plants sold in Garden Centres today have their origins in the Nursery’s breeding programmes and we continue our work to ensure those great new launches keep coming . Working closely with plant breeders and their agents around the globe also ensures that our Group’s ranges are right up to date. This ensures our customers get the best of what’s new as well as all those tried and tested, established varieties with outstanding garden performance.
