Hereford-based Wyevale Nurseries has announced that it has seen a 45% increase in sales year-on-year from the garden design sector.
Wyevale Nurseries believes it has seen this growth in sales from the garden design market with more people moving away from DIY to ‘Do it for me’ (DIFM).
Wyevale Nurseries sales and marketing director Adam Dunnett explained: “It’s a fantastic sales increase and we feel the trend for DIFM has seen a greater demand for the services of garden designers and landscapers.
“In response to the trend, which we started to see in June last year, we launched a new garden design and domestic landscape sales department.
“We appointed Adrian Hoare (pictured) as garden design and domestic landscape sales manager. He has worked for us for 30 years in a multitude of sectors and his experience means he offers excellent service and advice to our customers. He is able to give guidance to customers on plant selection, sourcing product and finding solutions to fill the most challenging landscape designs.”
He added: “We have also made significant changes to our production with more specimen shrubs, a wider range of must have herbaceous, container hedging and tree ranges. This is backed up with stock from our partner nurseries across Europe to provide a full pallet, giving designers and architects a ‘one-stop-shop’ to fulfil even the most complex of planting schemes.”
