The UK love affair with horticulture and landscaping has blossomed into big business for Palmstead Nurseries Ltd. From small beginnings in 1968, the company has grown in line with customer demand to the point where annual production from its 53-hectare site at Wye near Ashford in Kent has increased to more than 1 million plants in containers and 200,000 field grown trees.

Recognised as one of the UK’s leading wholesale producers of hardy ornamental nursery stock, Palmstead Nurseries is focused on the commercial amenity market, providing a broad range of trees and shrubs. Customers include commercial and domestic landscapers, landscape architects, garden designers, local authorities and builders, as well as other wholesale and retail nurseries – many of which buy thousands of plants at a time, through the company’s website, by fax, over the phone, or in person at the nursery.
