DIBLEYS NURSERIES (nee Efenechtyd Nurseries)

Rex Dibley started the Nursery in 1976 as a hobby and named it after the local village 'Efenechtyd'. For some reason this name gave people some difficulty and was eventually changed to the slightly more pronounceable 'Dibleys'. His son Gareth joined him in the business in 1984 after graduating from Reading University with a degree in Horticulture. Soon after, Rex retired from teaching to devote more time to the business. Gareth's sister Lynne has also joined the business to make it a truly family concern.

Accolades held by the nursery include winning:

  • 21 RHS Gold Medals at the Chelsea Flower Show
  • Over 100 RHS Gold Medals (only the third nursery ever to do this)
  • Winning a Large Gold Medal in every National and International Garden Festival held in Britain
  • Winning Gold and Large Gold Medals at every major Flower Show in the UK including BBC Gardeners' World Live, Hampton Court Flower Show, Tatton Park, Shrewsbury Flower Show and Malvern Spring Shows.
  • Dibleys have also received the Royal Horticultural Sociey's Anthony Huxley Medal for the best display of tender plants in any RHS show throughout a whole year
  • In 2007, Rex Dibley was awarded the Veitch Memorial Medal by the RHS, given to "persons of any nationality who have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement and improvement of the science and practice of horticulture"
  • Dibleys Streptocarpus 'Harlequin Blue' won the inaugural Chelsea Plant of the Year 2010
