Evergreen & Wimbledon: A Trusted Partnership
For nearly 20 years, Evergreen Exterior Services has been a trusted partner of The Championships, Wimbledon, supplying top-quality plants that help bring the tournament’s renowned horticultural displays to life.
​
Martyn Falconer, Head Gardener at Wimbledon’s Horticulture Services, emphasizes their pursuit of the “wow factor” when selecting plants. With Evergreen, he notes, they not only achieve stunning visual impact but also benefit from “excellent customer service all year round.”
​
Wimbledon’s famous ‘Tennis in an English Garden’ is a showcase of unique, artistically curated plants, creating a bespoke environment for visitors while supporting charitable initiatives. As Martyn explains, the team is deeply committed to projects such as nurturing Wimbledon’s bees and donating plants to community efforts like the Wimbledon Foundation and Groundwork. “It’s incredibly rewarding to play a small part in Wimbledon’s annual activities,” he adds.
​
Recently, Evergreen played a key role in sourcing rare tree specimens for Wimbledon’s Horticulture Services. “Evergreen was our first choice for both quality and price,” says Martyn. The collaboration even led to a joint trip to Belgium, where Martyn personally selected hard-to-find trees—an opportunity he described as invaluable.
​
The partnership extends beyond just transactions; it’s built on trust and a shared commitment to excellence. Martyn notes that Evergreen has worked closely with his predecessors, establishing a strong and reliable relationship over the years. “I know I can describe exactly what I need, and there’s always honesty in the process—it’s a true win-win partnership.”
Beyond major projects, the convenience of having Evergreen just around the corner is an added advantage. “If I need something at short notice, I can simply pop in—it saves us a lot of time,” Martyn concludes.

Squires Garden Centres
Squires Garden Centres have been ‘using Evergreen for many years’, therefore it was a true pleasure to talk to Jeremy Hall, the Group Plant Buyer. Jeremy has been with Squires for a few years now and he said: ‘Squires believes in quality plants and great customer service just like you guys do’. He said that they choose Evergreen for their ‘very quick’ and efficient deliveries. However, also for ’competitive prices’ and ‘convenience’ of having almost everything ordered through one supplier.
Jeremy said that their ‘plants represent 20% of Squires business’, therefore it is crucial for them to collaborate with the right supplier who understands their business needs. Squires opened the landscape gardening business in 1936. Now the family owns 15 garden centres across London, Surrey, Sussex, Middlesex and Berkshire. They also work with children in the local community developing their knowledge and passion for gardening.
Evergreen is their ‘first point of contact’, says Jeremy. ‘It’s about their attitude, nothing is ever that much of an issue for them’. He said that he values Evergreen’s expertise and ‘established links across many European countries’. Squires view those international relationships as extremally valuable. However, Jeremy also mentioned that ‘Evergreen’s plant nursery in Surrey is attractively located’ in the close proximity to all their garden centres. This means that Squires can get daily deliveries and regular customer service support.
Jeremy described the relationship with Evergreen as ‘progressive’ and mentioned that both companies are ‘looking into opportunities for growth together’ in the future. Suggesting that Evergreen handles business with large companies rather well, and with the same attention to detail they pay to their independent landscapers.
