High-flying Order for Nursery!
A Lincolnshire nursery is celebrating a right Royal deal!
The British Hardwood Tree Nursery is doing its bit to keep London's green spaces in tip-top condition, after supplying The Royal Parks with 6,500 hedging plants and 60 six-foot high trees.
The prestigious order marks the third year in a row that British Hardwood has has provided stock for the Royal Parks, which are free to visit and which attract thousands of naturelovers and leisure-seekers every year.
The Royal Parks is an executive agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and it manages St James's, Green, Hyde, Richmond, Greenwich, Regent's and Bushy Parks, Kensington Gardens and also Brompton Cemetery.
And that means being responsible for 5,000 acres of historic parkland, which attract walkers, picnickers, school parties and events managers. And in 2012, the profile of The Royal Parks will be raised even higher, when
individual parks provide the setting for events in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
British Hardwood Tree Nursery managing director Andrew Henderson said: "The trees and hedging which we have supplied will be used across Regent's Park and Primrose Hill.
"The Royal Parks is a highly prestigious client and we are delighted that it placed repeat business with us."
The British Hardwood Tree Nursery order was for the supply of hedging plants and trees, but the business also provides contract planting where necessary. Customers include farming, environmental and amenity businesses UK-wide.
Mr Henderson added that the Nursery has been enjoying particularly good sales, following a challenging start to the traditional tree-planting season when harsh Winter weather delayed landscaping projects around the UK.
