Over 60 years

ESTABLISHED IN 1951

 In 1951 Lawrence and Vera Walker purchased a plot of land just outside Blaxton, Doncaster.

This land had never before been ploughed, but with two years’ hard work they had enough crops to sell.

As well as passing trade Lawrence would ride his motorbike with a sidecar full of produce to Doncaster market to set up his stall, and so Walkers Nurseries was born.

“We don’t just sell plants, we are about so much more than that, we want to foster an interest in gardening, whether as an amateur or at advanced level. Our advice is free and readily available.”

HISTORICAL FACT

 There is archaeological evidence that the Romans had settled at Walkers Nurseries centuries ago, and a Roman road actually ran through the grounds of the new Show Garden
