About Us
Nutscene Direct was born out of the need to bring together the entire Nutscene range, making it readily available to both the experienced gardener and those seeking a certain potting shed chic.
Along with Nutscene's renowned products, the Nutscene Direct team have carefully sourced desirable unique items of quality such as their seed and candle range.
Nutscene Ltd was established in 1922, and was the first to patent the pull from centre lock tie spool of twine, 'Greentwist' in 1936.
The name Nutscene is derived from their world famous green twine, which when tied around the plant is 'not seen'.
Wilbert™ first appeared in Nutscene advertising material circa 1940. The character has re-emerged from Nutscene's vast archive of advertising material. Wilbert was more than happy to come out of his retirement – being an experienced gardener and having used Nutscene twines since being a small boy, his informative gardening diaries are now uploaded for all to read and enjoy.
The Nutscene factory, nestled within the beautiful hills of Angus, is one of the last remaining manufacturers within the Dundee area; famous since the 1800's for its pioneering impact and vast jute industry.
We have been given kind permission to use the image below by Verdant Works Museum, Dundee. The image shows female jute workers from Dundee - these female workers in general were renowned for their fierce independance and bawdy sense of humour!
