Top Pots Garden Centre at  the Westmill Farm leisure complex is situated on the A602 just north of Ware in Hertfordshire. It incorporates its own nursery plus a full landscaping section dedicated to the leisure industry within the site. We first established the nursery in 1991 for plant and hanging basket production after being approached by our local Hertfordshire brewers to restart making hanging baskets after the sale of another garden centre that we were involved in and where we supplied them from before. It is a family run business employing 12 staff (both full and part time) and jointly run by brothers Peter and Cris who have both been involved in agriculture and horticulture all their lives. Together with Adrian, our nursery manager, retail staff and the two partners we can supply expert advice to all our customers.

As the demand for our hanging baskets increased in Hertfordshire and nationally so the nursery grew to what is now its present size. It now supplies the Garden Centre with the bulk of the plants on sale, plus the hanging baskets for our display contracts and private customers. Also we wholesale to other garden centres, landscapers and retail nurseries.
