The Rivers Nursery (also known as Rivers and Son) was a nursery founded in 1725 near Sawbridgeworth and closed in the 1980s. It specialised in fruit trees and roses and is best known for developing the Conference pear. The plant breeders who ran the nursery corresponded with leading scientists and horticulturalists of their times. Rivers Nursery was believed to be the oldest nursery in Britain before its closure.
