Increased Production for Show Gardens

Following two very successful Futurescape Show events, Rugby based Bernhard’s Nurseries have committed to further support of this show during 2019 and 2020.

As well as exhibiting at the events, Southern Sales Manager Lewis Normand, spoke at the Futurescape Spring show and will be talking again at Futurescape in Northampton (12th April).

Contract Growing Projects
As well as a commitment to exhibiting at professional events, Bernhard’s has once again increased production for Show Gardens and contract growing for a number of private and commercial projects across the UK.

With 22 show gardens already in production for 2019 and an appetite to take on more, the team at Bernhard’s are excited about the challenges in producing for these shows. To accommodate increased production, General Manager John Marsden is expanding the nursery resource with new covered production facilities, a new potting machine and additional staff.

Excellent Work Bears Fruit

'These are exciting times, with plenty on the horizon’ says John. ‘We look forward to our show work this year, as the fruition of the excellent work that Lewis has done to build and develop this part of our business.’

Bernhard’s are providing plants for Andrew Duff’s David Harber Savill’s Garden, as well as Paul Hervey-Brookes’ Viking Cruises Garden for RHS Chelsea. This will be followed by four gardens and a number of Long Borders in production for RHS Chatsworth.
