If you’re a green fingered amateur gardener, you’re probably already aware of Pugh’s Garden Centres in Radyr and Wenvoe but what if you’re a designer, landscape gardener or developer and need to create a more established look? Perhaps Pugh’s Nursery near Caerphilly could have what you need. We talk to Nicola Pugh to find out more…
The Pugh family have been supplying the local community with unrivalled gardening products and knowledge since the 1930s. The business has grown from a market garden of bedding plants, fruit and vegetables to become the ultimate home, garden and foodie destination and while the two garden centres thrive, the nursery business remains the backbone of the Pugh’s experience.
What type of clients use Pugh’s?
We have a loyal client base consisting of landscape gardeners, garden designers and property developers. Pugh’s Nursery also works with keen gardeners who are working on any larger projects – sometimes if you’re redeveloping a large space you want an established look and that’s where we can help.
Where do you source your plants?
Although we travel the world to hand pick the very best specimens (including trees and topiary from Tuscany and cacti from Peru), we stay true to our roots by growing our own selection of shrubs, perennials, fruit and vegetables (including cabbages, tomatoes, lettuces, runner beans, broad beans and strawberries), and both bedding and basket plants (including busy lizzies, begonias and geraniums) at the nursery.
What can Pugh’s Nursery offer?
We specialise in larger established trees and shrubs. The kind of plants that are statement pieces. Whilst it’s enjoyable to watch a garden grow, sometimes clients want a selection of trees that are already at 15 to 20 feet, this is where Pugh’s Nursery comes into its own. We also carry a lot of stock on site so we tend not to run short.
Can you source particular plants that you don’t hold in stock?
Absolutely, as a trade Nursery we grow a huge amount of stock ourselves but have excellent relationships with many trade nurseries around the UK and Europe. Because we have been in the business for over 50 years, we have built up a large resource of every kind of plant imaginable. We work with many trade customers and are happy to provide a sourcing service if required. Please give us a call to arrange an appointment.
