About Us

It all started when...

The Fletcher family has been involved in The Horticultural / Alboricultural  Industries for over 100 years. Claude Fletcher (Neil's grandfather) was a Horticultural worker in Lea Valley in the 1920s. Neil Fletcher, his grandson, started apprenticing at the age of seventeen . He established his own company in 1974 and, since than, he’s been servicing the greater London and the Home Counties for 50 years. Today it is a family business where two of his daughters and his son are involved in the company, sharing Neil’s pathos and passion.
