About John Richards Nurseries
We are a wholesale nursery producing an exceptionally wide range of Hardy Nursery Stock, for sale to garden centres throughout much of the UK. We are particularly known for our wide range, which includes some of the more unusual, sought-after, varieties. We grow everything we sell; we are nurserymen not traders.
