History of Doyles Nursery & Garden Centre
Established in 1963, Doyle’s Nursery was set up by John Doyle Snr. as a specialist rose and tree nursery. After building a reputation for the supply of quality plants to the landscape trade, he went on to win numerous RHS awards of merit for his quality roses.
John Doyle Junior joined the business in the 1980’s and developed the company further by introducing the supply of an additional range of quality plants from Europe. Following the premature death of John Doyle Junior, the nursery closed for a number of years.
John’s only son, Sean Doyle, decided to reopen the nursery in 2011 on the former site and now prides itself on its wide range of plants, providing for only the highest quality, presentation and standard. We are renowned for our friendly and inspirational retail experience.
