Walter and Harry Hazlewood founded Hazlewood Brothers Nursery in 1908 in a corner of their parents’ orchard on Carlingford Road, Epping. The nursery expanded to occupy the whole orchard and eventually land beyond. The nursery was owned by the Hazlewood family until it was sold in 1976.

In the 1920s, Walter and Harry’s younger brother Rex Hazlewood joined the business. Rex Hazlewood is well-known for his photographs of Sydney and suburbs from the first quarter of the 20th century.
