About John Richards Nurseries

We are a wholesale nursery producing one of the widest ranges of Hardy Nursery Stock, for sale to garden centres, throughout the UK and occasionally beyond. We are known for our growing some of the more unusual, sought-after, varieties. We grow everything we sell; we are nurserymen not traders. More than 90% of what we sell we propagate in-house.
