Our main crop Phragmites australis started as a diversification of cropping. From growing ornamental plants at this nursery, trading as Bryn Polyn Nurseries, we grew bedding plants and shrubs for the Garden Centre marketplace. At the point in 1996 when we turned our attention to native wetland species, the traditional UK Garden Centre market was in a state of flux. Many smaller centres were beginning to struggle and other medium sized centres were being taken over by larger ‘chains’ or groups, to improve their sales and viability. The opportunities as a small nursery to supply these outlets was therefore reduced in the 1990’s by centralised purchasing and centralised distribution. Additionally we were not a large enough nursery to supply these larger groups their needs year
At Reeds from Seeds we take great care at all stages of production. Our aim is to
grow the finest, 1st quality plants for you the customer to have the greatest success
with when you plant them out.
Slow release fertilizer incorporation optimises establishment post-planting, long
establishment at the nursery prior to sale, means that good root systems and rhizomes
are developed, also hardiness.
