COVID 19

We are still operating within our usual hours of trading however we are doing so with reduced staff and access. As a result it is taking slightly longer than usual for us to reply to your enquiries but we will always aim to do so within three working days. We are a wholesale nursery but we can provide plants to retail customers as long as they are purchasing in the spirit of wholesale: we do not insist on a minimum spend but ask that orders are reasonably large and that they include at least three of each species of perennial. This is due to the extra time it takes for us to process and gather orders comprised of small numbers of many plants.

We are once again allowing horticultural trade customers (garden designers, gardeners and landscapers) to browse the nursery and collect their own plants, however in light of government guidance we are not permitting retail customers, or wholesale customers to bring their clients. We are still permitted to act as a cash and carry, so retail clients can still put in orders by email with a minimum spend of £200, and collect the order once it is gathered. 

If you are a retail customer who wishes to purchase from us but is unable to fit the above criteria, we will be holding one of our open days once we are in a position to do so and will post further details here on our website. At this point, we envisage that occurring in September and October.

Arriving and Moving around the Nursery

There is a reception point on the driveway with regularly updated Covid instructions, sanitising equipment and a bell. Please ring the bell, sanitise and read the instructions. A member of the team will be with you shortly.

Whilst browsing the stock, please minimize your handling of plants you are not buying and afterwards place your trolley in the used trolley area for sanitizing between customers.

Please note that all buildings are currently out of bounds for all customers and all transcations and discussions are completed on the driveway.
