About Us

Situated in the Hertfordshire village of Willian, Pioneer Nurseries was originally established a century ago by the Letchworth Pioneers, founders of the world’s first Garden City, to supply plants that would beautify their town. Since 2000, John Hoyland and Nick Downing have continued this tradition of growing beautiful, healthy plants – from the common-or-garden to the rare and the new.

At Pioneer Nurseries it's our love of plants, as the raw materials for creating our own versions of Eden, that excites and inspires us. We hope that you will be able to visit us.  We are sure that you will find plants to help you in building your own piece of paradise.
The nuresery is regularly cited in the gardening media and was recently named as being amongst the Daily Telegraph’s  top 25 nurseries and amongst the Guardian's top five nurseries.
