People who know the nursery

Shallowmead is shaped by people with practical horticultural knowledge, site experience and a clear focus on improving the business for customers, staff and the nursery’s future.

Meet two of the people helping to develop the nursery, its systems, its plant range and its day-to-day operation.

Kate, Propagation Manager at Shallowmead

Propagation Manager

Kate

Kate has been managing our propagation team since 2013, when we acquired her from Ventnor Botanic Garden on the Isle of Wight. Kate also worked here as a teenager with the previous owners, so she has a lot of knowledge and has seen a lot of changes.

Kate helps in a variety of roles but is also looking forward to developing our stocklist. This will doubtlessly throw up new propagation challenges as our range increases.

Whether it be sourcing brick slips or grafting trees to keep them compact, life at Shallowmead isn’t dull.

General Manager

Lyndon

Lyndon is our Horticultural Operations Manager / General Manager. He came to Shallowmead with a range of experience including running a specialist nursery, computer programming, gardening and quality standards.

That knowledge isn’t going to waste as he helps to develop Shallowmead and update its systems.
