Snowdonia Nurseries a three generation family business that came about when Richard Evans had a dramatic change of heart during his training to become a lawyer and decided he wanted to grow plants instead!

A very supportive and patient family sent him off to Bath University where he gained a degree in Horticulture and came back to set up a business on land that was bought by his family for him largely from the proceeds of the butchers business that the family owned in the area.

Starting life as tomato nursery, Richard quickly developed and built on the business that is now the famous Snowdonia Nurseries. The business still very much remains a family orientated affair with Mrs Evans still helping with all the planting and potting, Richard at the helm. Tim (Richard’s brother) looking after the coffee shop, garden furniture, gifts and BBQ’s. The grandchildren Catherine and Philippa are also now heavily involved in marketing and helping to run the business while all the other grandchildren remains involved with part time and seasonal work in between studies. It truly is a family affair that’s blossomed!
