At first, the Nursery produced vegetables for local consumption but Stanley' s first love was ornamental plants such as bulbs, perennials, alpines and trees and shrubs. Stanley built up his business with the support of his wife Elizabeth who immigrated to New Zealand in 1924 marrying Stanley in 1935 . He was known within New Zealand for the rare and unusual, as well as his skill as a plant breeder. Plant lovers from all over the country would visit Stanley to talk about and enjoy his plant collections. He was a member of many national and international horticultural societies as well as a fellow and a life member of the Royal Horticultural Society Great Britain.
Cut flowers were first produced at the Nursery in the 1930's and sold to auction markets and florists. Floral work was also an important part of Stanley' s business where a local funeral could require up to 60 wreaths and sprays. Today his Narcissus cultivars have been incorporated into Blue Mountain Gardens bulb selections. The nursery became a larger family business with John and his wife Irma, and, Denis and wife Margaret each developing their own interests and expanding the business from 1966.
Denis developed the tree, shrub and retail outlet keeping the Blue Mountain Nurseries name. Stanley Elizabeth Hughes also operated the Florist business until Stanley' s death in 1976. Denis and Margaret Hughes have also developed the Nursery significantly since 1966. Today the Nursery produces plants for national distribution to other nurseries and garden centres
