One of the UK’s leading commercial nurseries has revealed that it has seen record breaking plant sales since June last year and has just completed its best March ever (2021).
Wyevale Nurseries says it is seeing phenomenal orders coming through, which have stretched its capacity, but have also led to some of the most outstanding figures in its 91-year history.
Andy Johnson, Managing Director at Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford, explains: “We’ve seen strong demand in all sectors with outstanding sales since last June. They have been strong since then, all the way through, with regular record-breaking weeks until now and we’ve had an outstanding March.
“We will hit our £2.25 million month by Easter and we’re working hard to keep up with demand and to continue to meet all our customers’ orders and requests, so please rest assured it’s business as usual here, our range, however, is not as extensive as it traditionally is.
“Demand has been buoyant because landscapers, developers, landowners, foresters and all those planting commercially have been able to continue throughout the lockdowns and restrictions, as they work outside where the risks are deemed to be minimal from Covid-19.
“We’ve also seen more demand from online retailers and garden centres requiring stock to help the nation’s army of gardeners who have been using their time at home to revamp and replenish their outdoor spaces.
