Westdale Nurseries, is located
1 mile outside of the pictuesque West Wiltshire town of Bradford
on Avon on the B1037 road.
The Bougainvillea plant was discovered during the round the world
voyage of Louis Antoine, Cointe de Bougainville (1729-1811). The
actual collector of these then un-named plants was Cornerson,
who gathered specimens from Brazil during the voyage. The plant
was published in honour of the French navigator.
The Bougainvillea brings a myriad of colours to its owners, with
a hint of warmer climates inherent in its leaves and flowers.
The plant shows a versatility, which allows it to flower continually
throughout the year.
Over a period of years plants have been collected from all over
the world and we now have over 200 varieties. Each year we increase
our stock and variety. It is possible to purchase year old plants
for onward cultivation and development or more mature plants to
grace your home, greenhouse or conservatory.
We will be happy for you to visit us, not only to inspect the
plants, grown exclusively in a quarter of an acre greenhouse,
but also to gain from our experience and tips in the growing of
this unique flowering plant.
Bougainvilleas are grown in Baskets, as Standards, as Fan and
they can be grown over Conservatory roofs, to provide a natural
shade and reduce the need for blinds. The versatility of the plant
also allows it to be grown as Bonsai or as a pot plant.
The Nursery was founded in the 1940's by Charles and Evelyn Clarke
in Bradford-On-Avon. With the success of the business and the
need to expand, the Nursery was moved in 1954 to its current,
two-acre site. The business is now managed by Charles Clarke
Mr.,
his wife Patricia and their children.
