History

Rex Dibley started the nursery in 1976 and was originally called 'Efenechtyd Nurseries', taking the name of the nearby village of Efenechtyd at the time. The Welsh name proved difficult for some and the nursery changed its name to 'Dibleys Nurseries', after the family name. In 1984 Rex Dibley was joined by his son, Gareth Dibley, who had graduated with a degree in horticulture from Reading University.[5]
