Nicholson Nurseries held an Open Day on Saturday, October 14th 2006.

Several hundred visitors took the opportunity to stroll through the entire Nursery site, seeing not only the Plant Centre and associated shrub and herbaceous displays, and the Italian topiary, but also the wholesale and commercial sectors, where native trees for woodland, forestry and hedging are cultivated.

The large barn was converted into a refreshment and children's entertainment venue for the day, with generous (and very tasty) Bacon Butties on offer, washed down with tea, coffee, wine or Hook Norton bitter, and with home-baked cakes and biscuits to follow.

Three photographic galleries are presented here - one containing images of the staff at work, another for the plants they tend, and a third to give a sense of the occasion. Click on the picture links below to visit the three pages, and once there, click on any image to view an enlargement.
