My mother started our nursery over 30 years ago, as a small family run nursery.

My Mother, Maureen Iddon, displayed roses and exhibited flower arranging at NAFAS shows. However, she found it difficult to obtain the unusual foliage and flowers she wanted to display in the Northwest of England, this situation lead to her ordering plants from all over Britain to use in her flower arrangements.

The initial solution my father came up with was building her a small cold frame, this she used to propagate plants for her own flower arranging. Soon many of her friends at the Flower Clubs started to ask her for supplies of these unusual plants for their own use.

In fact there were soon so many people contacting her to obtain these unusual plants that she realised that expansion was the only way to prevent people being disappointed. After the first year she bought a Poly Tunnel, and a couple of years later added a Greenhouse, thus her nursery grew and developed over the passing years into the professional specialist nursery that you now see.

I have been involved with the development and running of my mothers "Hardy Plants" nursery for most of my life. The natural option when my mother sadly passed away in May 2000 was that I would continue her legacy. My is aim to continue build on what my mother started and further develop the breadth of unusual plants from within my own areas of interest for the enjoyment of all.

I regularly display a wide range of our flowers and plants at most of the major shows and look forward to meeting you there. For a list of upcoming events we will be present at please view our Upcoming Events page, if you cannot meet us at these events please feel free to contact me through the Contact Us link here on our web site.

I look forward to contacting you in the future

Yours sincerely
