Our cash & carry is bursting at the seams with all manner of lovely plants that are rapidly coming out of their winter hibernation. Down here in the south we are starting to see temperatures rising daily after all the horrible cold & wet conditions of the past few months. Why not come and have a wander round and see the amazing transformation we have made to the nursery over the winter months.
Summer foliage
With Stewarts wholesale closing their doors to the landscaping trade just before christmas we recognised a need to get our act together and enlarge our own cash & carry to help meet the expected demand. We are renting space on another nursery locally to grow most of our smaller plants which has enabled us to enlarge the cash & carry area at our glenacres home site to carry a much larger range of plants.
In conjunction with a well known local Landscape designer & plantsman we are once again supplying plants this summer for an exhibit at Hampton court flower show. Hopefully he will once again win an award for his efforts.

With Stewarts Wholesale now having closed their doors to the landscaping trade locally we are endeavoring to carry as large a selection of plants as is possible. We have been renting growing space at another local nursery as well which means we can turn a larger part of our Stapehill site over to ready to buy plants.

We’ve been hiding our light under a bushel – it’s time to shout out about our Dorset fuchsias You won’t find them anywhere else, we took over the stock from the breeder when he retired. If you are retailing plants in Dorset you need some of these. We have approx thirty varieties of Basket & Upright Fuchsias exclusive to Glenacres. We propagate them ourselves so we need to know fairly early each season whether you need plugs or finished plants. They are all mostly large flowered varieties and we hold stocks of coloured Labels for each.
