The winners of a brand new initiative, Pro Landscaper’s Most Influential Nurseries, have been announced for the first time.

Since March, Pro Landscaper’s readers have had the opportunity to vote for their favourite nurseries under six different categories, as well as the Most Influential Nursery Person of the Year.

Introduced “to shine a light on the incredible work being done by nurseries around the country,” says Pro Landscaper’s deputy editor, Bethany Vann; she adds:

“From battling extreme weather conditions to navigating major changes in legislation, nurseries are arguably the backbone of our industry; their continued dedication and hard work plays a fundamental role in tackling the climate and biodiversity crises, and our winners are a shining example of this.”

The winners of Pro Landscaper’s Most Influential Nurseries, as voted by our readers, are as follows:
