Description
Ballakinnish is a family run nursery. The business was started in 1906 by the grandfather of the present owner Mr Ron Hotchkiss. The nurseries were then located at Glencrutchery Road Douglas nearly opposite the TT Grandstand. A variety of cut flowers, fruit and vegetables were then grown and retailed through two shops in Strand street.
The business continued under Mr Hotchkiss's father but in 1960's and 1970's the decline in tourism led to a change of emphasis and the family decided to specialise in roses.
In 1971 Mr James Hotchkiss retired and the present site was acquired just on the outskirts of Douglas and Mr Ron Hotchkiss took over the running of the business initially with 2,000 square metres of glass. Expansion took place in 1973, 1977 and 1985 which gives a present growing area of approximately 15,500 square metres given over entirely to roses.
