Designed to increase productivity, bolster quality control, and give you an edge. Keen to discuss a customised solution?
Smart people. Smart solutions.
At PrimeHort, we focus on solutions. As the leading distributor of nursery supplies, garden tools and nursery automation, we look at every innovation possible to offer a solution that’s right for you.
We understand that quality crops don’t happen by chance. Behind your success is an innovative spirit and a commitment to improve, and we’re just like you.
We realise that meeting customers’ needs takes a lot more energy than being a one-stop-shop with a large product range. The extra-mile lies in outstanding service. It means responding fast, with affordable solutions. But it also takes a dedicated team. United by a strong set of values, PrimeHort has gathered some of the best people in our field. We’re also independent and family owned.
Every day our promise remains the same; distribute quality products with generosity at every turn. We do this by sourcing directly from the manufacturer. We’ve ditched the middleman to save your pocket!
For our retail customers, ‘The Gardener’ products are easy to sell and provide shoppers with a vibrant choice of garden hardware – stylish and practical, backed with our popular merchandising displays and Proven Gold warranties.
It all comes down to partnership. As you develop your landscape, nursery or retail business – we’ll be right here to nurture your success.
That’s how we’ll grow smarter together.
