Edward Bazeley founded the nursery in 1920 in Haverfordwest, growing willow, ash and oak, before the operation outgrew its plot and relocated to Whitminster, on the Bristol Road between Gloucester and Stroud, in 1935. Bazeley handed the business to his son Bonham after the war, and the family has run it since; the original nursery ground still supplies vegetables, seedlings and seasonal plants for the garden centre that has grown up around it. Alongside plants and trees, the site now includes a food hall, restaurant and pet section. Independently owned and run from this single Whitminster site rather than as part of a national chain, it describes itself as Gloucestershire's leading independent garden centre, a claim borne out by more than a century of continuous family ownership.
