Simon McWilliams from Hedgehog Plants and Garden Nursery

Jay and Simon love unusual plants and their nursery near to Bury St Edmnds was started in 2003 when they both gave up their jobs and became “Hedgehog Gardens”, a gardening service in and around Hopton, Suffolk where they built a steady client base and gained a good reputation.

In 2007 a local hard landscaping centre offered them the chance to run their very small plant section and they jumped at the chance, becoming “Hedgehog Plants & Gardens” in the process.

Initially Jay ran the plant section having grown plants since she was ‘knee high to a gnat’ whilst Simon continued with the gardening side of the business. However, they both quickly decided that simply buying in the same old plants that you see everywhere and selling them on wasn’t for them.

Slowly but surely they began growing other, more interesting hardy plants and introduced them to their customers. This went well and in 2008 they did their first ever plant fair at Wyken Vineyards in aid of SWWAG – Stanton Woodland & Wildlife Action Group. A fair we attended for many years.

So, to find the plant for your garden that no one else has, this is the nursery for you!
