| In the 1950’s unusual plants from all over the world made up the private collection of Mr. Will Onions and Mr. David Gill. In 1959 the collection was turned into a commercial business and Aberfeldy Nurseries was born.
By 1962 the firm went into the production of outdoor plants and the following year expanded into the field of interior scaping – offering a full insallation and maintenance service to local businesses and private homes.
In 1995 the Somerset property was developed as a production facility with the construction of a 13,500 sq. ft. greenhouse for the propagation of woody ornamentals, bedding plants, potted flowers and interior foliage. Since then, approximately 11,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse and growing space has been added.
Although Aberfeldy has been growing plants in Somerset for over 40 years, the Garden Centre in Paget wasn’t opened until 1976, and has since become Bermuda’s largest Plant Nursery and Garden Centre.
