Celebrating 100 Years of Growing at St Bridget Nurseries

This year marks a very special milestone for us at St Bridget Nurseries: our centenary. Since 1925, we’ve been proudly growing beautiful plants right here in Devon, and this year we’re taking time to reflect, celebrate and thank the loyal customers and dedicated team who have made it all possible.

Rooted in Family Since 1925

Our story began 100 years ago, when Frank and Hilda Langdon started growing on just an acre of land. Four generations later, the business remains proudly family owned and is now run by their great-granddaughter, Tammy Falloon. While much has changed over the last century, one thing has stayed the same: our commitment to growing top quality plants and providing friendly, expert service.

From one acre to nearly 100 across Exeter, we’ve continued to hand-propagate the plants we sell using traditional techniques such as cuttings, grafting, seed and division. Our nursery, although not open to the public, remains the heart of our business and supplies our Sidmouth Road garden centre with home-grown shrubs, trees and roses.

Thank You to Our Loyal Customers

To mark our centenary, we’re delighted to launch a new Loyalty Card Scheme, giving back to the many customers who have supported us over the years. If you haven’t signed up yet, just ask a member of the team when you’re next in store. We’d love for you to be part of it.

A Garden Centre with More to Discover

Today, St Bridget Nurseries is much more than a place to buy plants (though we still grow some of the best in Devon!). Our garden centre is packed with everything you need for your garden, plus one of the largest aquatic departments in the county and a beautiful gift department perfect for browsing.

After exploring, why not relax in our café with a morning coffee, light lunch or cream tea? We’re open every day and always happy to welcome the whole family, including the dog.

Our People Make the Difference

We wouldn’t have reached 100 years without our wonderful team. Many of our staff have been with us for decades, and all are passionate about plants and helping people find success in their gardens. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, we’re here to help you choose the right plants for your space and lifestyle.

At St Bridget Nurseries, we believe that everyone has greenfingers. Sometimes, you just need a little guidance to help them grow.

Here’s to the Next 100 Years

As we celebrate our centenary, we remain just as passionate about growing as we were in 1925. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we look forward to welcoming you to the garden centre soon.
