Founded in 1981 by Larry and Jen Risdale, Virginia Nurseries Ltd has always been a family run business and still employs several family members in the village of Newbourne, Suffolk. These days it is run by Ru Risdale, who has expanded Virginia Nurseries from salad growing for major supermarkets to growing and supplying wholesale to shops, pubs, restaurants and other local businesses. 

Virginia Nurseries delivers within a twenty mile radius of Woodbridge, Suffolk, and we make regular deliveries to Woodbridge, Felixstowe, Ipswich and Framlingham.

Over thirty five years of experience in the horticultural industry has given us extensive product knowledge as well as strong relationships with the local farming community.

Our aim is to provide high quality fresh fruit and vegetables, at a cost that is fair to both the grower and the customer. We do not use any pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. We use beneficial insects to control pests, regular crop rotation to avoid diseases, such as mildew, and growing through a mulch reduces weeds.

We release British bumblebees into our greenhouses to aid pollination and ladybirds to keep down the number of greenfly.

Virginia Nurseries is committed to modern and innovative growing methods which are good for the consumer, the grower and the environment.
