A little history behind Fairseat Nursery

This information was gathered from their website. I hope they don't mind me reproducing it, and the picture.

In 1923 Mr Fielden and Mr Stan Chapman decided to uproot and move their very established Alpine growing nursery in Exeter to the better location of Fairseat, considering it to be a ideal 
location for frosting the plants they specialised in growing. This took a tremendous amount of hard work and additional assistance from Mr Fred Hills, who left school at the age of 15 to help work the nursery and stayed there until his retirement in the 80's.

With this niche market Fairseat Nursey was a regular at the Chelsea Flower Show winning many Banksian Medals (the highest of which was the Silver Guilt) along with many others which are proudly displayed at the Nursery today.

Both Mr Fred Hills and Mr Stan Chapmans family still live local to the nursery.
