Hi my name is Alan Dayman (Al) and for 40 years my family have been growers of plants and trees from our 11 acre site in Cossington, Leicestershire. Every year Derrys Nurseries opens our gates to customers looking for a tray of pansies, a pot and compost as well as trees and stone for your garden. I have seen Nurseries and Garden centres change over the years and many local sites are closing due t

o the rising costs of operating. At Derry’s we have diversified and made use of new technologies and skills and with my son Ash we were able to move into new areas such as Tree Surgery. As a result of this we were able to recycle the trees that had to be taken down and turn them into logs for fuel. Many people have tried different methods to keep cut logs dry and reduce the moisture contained within the log such as Kiln Drying. We have found that when processing Kiln Dried logs it increases the cost to the customer dramatically. We had to find away to speed up the drying process without adding cost to the customer and to make cut logs a cost effective alternative to gas and coal. As we have been growers for 40 years we have a lot of onsite poly tunnels that are designed to keep the heat in and the cold out. Typically the Kiln Drying process uses fuel to heat the logs and remove moisture down to under 20%. Using a DR Meter, Moisture meter we are able to provide supplied Hardwood logs to you with moisture content of around 20% and in most cases less. We don’t need to impact the environment by using gas or electricity to dry logs. We are making use of our existing facilities. The speed in which our process dries logs is exceptionally fast meaning faster, lower cost turnaround times.

Luca, Erik, and Elias from Meadowdale School visited us today to see their incredible sculpture design come to life as it was installed on site.🏡🤩

After entering and winning our competition to design a feature sculpture for the new development, the boys’ vision has been brought to reality thanks to the amazing work by Derrys Nurseries Cossington.⭐

We’re excited to officially reveal the sculpture at our launch event at 10am on 20th June - and everyone is welcome to join us!

Here is a superstar plant for shade! This is Fatsia but this is variegated so the white on the leaves really stands out in shade and brings more interest to shady areas of your garden. Also very happy in pots it is evergreen and gives a lush tropical effect quickly growing to a good size but not getting too dominant 💚
