SME News Q3 2023 | 78 Best Family Run Wholesale Plant Nursery 2023 - Yorkshire Since opening its doors in 1948, Needhams Nurseries has flourished, with a dazzling array of plant life on offer for any and every eventuality. Recognised in the UK Enterprise Awards 2023 for its sterling work, we thought it about time to check up on the intrepid crew from the North of England to find out more. For 75 years, Needhams Nurseries has been leading the way when it has come to hanging baskets and container products. As a trusted supplier to over 30 garden centres throughout South Yorkshire, as well as a direct supplier to those who rely upon the Needhams name, the firm has grown significantly since humble beginnings. The key to this growth has been a commitment to building strong working relationships that are built on trust. The team at Needhams Nurseries have always prided themselves on having a deep understanding not only of what they can offer to customers, but what their customers need from them. At the heart of the company’s offering is an attention to detail which makes the stocking of products as simple and straight-forward as it can possibly be. This simple attitude goes back three generations now, when the first generation of Needhams Nurseries was operating out of a shed with some hand tools. The business is still family-run, and still called Needhams Nurseries, and the ambition of providing quality products remains. The family at the heart of the firm puts as much care into the first hanging basket to leave as they do the last, and at no point does the quantity of what is sold overwhelm them. That said, while there is a long, and rich, heritage of planting from the Needhams Nurseries team, this never comes at the expense of exploring new ideas. All products have planting schemes that are tried, tested, and popular, but new concepts and ideas are always being explored. Pushing the team forward are Schneider Youngplants, an organisation which is uniquely focused on the production of young plants. Its focus on the needs of professional growers offers insights into the latest techniques on offer. It’s little wonder, therefore, that a strong customer base has been built over the years. Few can argue with the quality of a Needhams Nurseries plant, and the consistency that has been achieved through hard work and dedication. This is a team that understands plants intimately, and works closely to ensure that customers always have the best possible solution. When looking at the range of products that the team offer, it’s impossible to ignore some of the big hitters available depending on the season. The team’s 16" Mixed Pub Rattan Hanging Basket, for example, cannot be beaten on value for money, offering a wealth of colours and textures that stand apart from the ground. These hanging baskets have been supplied to Doncaster Racecourse for the last seven years, lasting all the way from June to October when its busiest season begins. For the more humble garden, however, the option of a 13" Mixed Planter might be more your style. This delightful concoction needs very little care to look absolutely gorgeous, adding an element of ‘wow’ to most gardens and making them pop with a splash of colour! For those who are just picking up a trowel for the first time, and for those who have created a little slice of heaven by the patio, this delightful addition is one not to be missed at any point! The value of plants is one which cannot be overstated, because the difference they can make is enormous. As more people consider how to enhance their gardens with as little effort as possible, it’s little wonder that they are turning to experts like those at Needhams Nurseries. The team have always stood apart, because they not only take the time to understand their products, but understand how their products affect their customers. It’s why clients, from the humble home gardener through to big names like Doncaster Racecourse, turn to the talented team. They know that they will always receive something special.
