Description
Alan Bloom was one of the great British plantsmen of the twentieth century. A gardener from the age of 16, he bought Bressingham Hall, Norfolk in 1946 and founded a world-renowned gardening dynasty that today spans three generations.
The development of Blooms Nurseries Ltd during the 1950s saw many award-winning new plant introductions into the UK. In 1953, Alan started work on the Dell Garden which today features 47 island beds, planted with over 5000 different plants.
In 1962, Alan Blooms sons - Robert and Adrian joined their father, adding a retail and mail order business in 1964. By the time Alan passed the reins to his sons in 1970, Blooms of Bressingham was a well-established gardening name with many Chelsea Gold Medals and well-known plant introductions to their credit. Plants such as Crocosmia 'Lucifer' and Achillea 'Moonshine' were introduced by Blooms and are still amongst the top sellers today.
