Over 100 years’ history in the trade

Our great-grandfather started growing bulbs in Beverwijk, Holland, in the early 1900s. His son (our grandfather) then relocated the business to England, in 1946, opening a small nursery at the back of his house. The business expended, moved to new, larger premises in the 1950s, and became a wholesale supplier of bulbs and garden sundries. We are still based at these premises today.

From 1980 for the next twenty years or so, we moved back into retail with a highly successful garden centre – one of the largest in the Midlands at the time – but in the last ten years, have concentrated solely on wholesale. From these humble beginnings, the business has expanded into a trusted wholesale supplier of quality bulbs, plants, shrubs, Christmas trees and garden supplies to many independent retailers, large chains, councils and private buyers across the UK.

Sourcing the best product at the best price

Our team is talented, experienced and motivated and has a reputation for working as hard as possible to ensure the best service for all our clients. With our 100 year history, we have wealth of experience, expertise and contacts to offer.

Our specialty is sourcing the best product at the best price; we often class ourselves as ‘cherry pickers’ (only having the best that a nursery has to offer). It is our experience that not just one nursery can grow everything to the same quality, so at Hommers we have many nurseries where we can source the same products, then we can select the best from each place. We can not say how important it is to us, to make sure we have sourced the best. As the founder (Mr Hendrik Hommers) used to say “Your best is only just good enough.” Finding from the smallest product to the biggest, from plug plants in a 600 cell box to a specimen plant.
