Green JJam Nurseries
Established in 2008 as a small family-run nursery, Green JJam Nurseries has expanded over the years and reached significant milestones.
In the past few years, they have became involved with The National Penstemon Collection, assisting Pershore College with propagation and maintenance. They recently moved to a larger field near Upton Upon Severn to create a purpose-built nursery. This new space allows them to grow a wider range of plants, apply for a National Collection, launch an online shop, and plant a White Garden as part of The White Nursery.
The nursery’s key focus is sustainability, ensuring that plants are nurtured to maintain quality and expand the range confidently. Green JJam Nurseries has a diverse collection of plants that are nurtured to ensure quality, including perennials that are grown outdoors once established and penstemons that are kept dry in a glasshouse, ready for early spring planting

Kevock Garden Plants
Kevock Garden Plants is made up of a small team based in Scotland, growing a diverse selection of alpine, bog, and woodland plants sourced from around the globe. Their commitment to being environmentally friendly has led to them experimenting with natural alternatives to pesticides, such as nematodes and transitioning to peat-free growing practices, requiring the development of new compost recipes.
With social impact as a key focus, they are committed to creating opportunities for individuals facing workplace disadvantages, including those with disabilities, mental health challenges, neurodiversity, or challenging social situations. This in turn provides them with work experience and volunteering opportunities where they can be part of an integrated team working alongside skilled horticulturists and students. Following a not-for-profit model, Kevock Garden Plants reinvests all financial surpluses back into their business to support their mission.
