Seasonal Nurseries
The Blue Diamond Group acquired 4 nurseries, from the Glendale group, in summer 2023. The nurseries grow high-quality, seasonal plants.
"The acquisition was part of our strategy to secure our plant supply chain. Glendale has been supplying us with quality veg and bedding plants for years so it’s a perfect fit alongside our hardy plant nurseries at Bridgemere and Worfield"
Alan Roper, Managing Director, Blue Diamond Garden Centres
