We have over 200 years experience and history growing trees and shrubs in large volumes. If you look into our history you will note that the nursery was started in 1798, at the time of "enclosure" growing quickthorn hedging plants for farms. We are still one of the largest suppliers of native hedge plants throughout the UK.

We are still a family business, in the seventh generation in a straight line from the founding William Crowder. The long history and family ethos are still important today. It is demonstrated in the loyalty of our staff and their families, many of whom have served over 25 years, some over 40 and one more could soon clock up 50 years!
