NEWS

 

Last update 31/07/22 (but not necessarily the plants)


We are open, our hours are morning 10am to 12pm & afternoon1pm to 4pm.


MAIL ORDER

Will now be by request only, due to an ever complicated system
Please contact me for availability, to order and how to pay.
This should also make it more personable and accurate.

Price rise

Unfortunately due to continual supply chain problems and ever increasing costs, we will be increasing our prices,
this will be gradually implemented over the winter


Sadly due to the forthcoming brexit documentary changes
and associated costs; phytos, registration etc etc,
we will not be supplying mail order or plants to Europe, Northern Island & expats with homes overseas.


Any querries please ring




In line with recent legislation we are Plant Passported for all our Mail order

PP no 112614

Nagoya, CITES, Plant health

These are becoming very important.
We are compliant with Nagoya and CITES, all our sales stock is born on site circa 85% are from cuttings or vegetative division from mother stock , that would have been over 2 years old. The remainder is from seed, of which 35% is our own seed, again from original mother stock over 2 years old, the balance is from reputable seed merchants that have the correct permissions.



BIG news all woody plants have now been converted into growing in airpots,
They are brilliant but very expensive,
This means at the nursery you have a choice of paying for the airpot to keep it, or your plant can be taken out and put in a suitable bag.
For mail order you will just get the plant naked in a bag,

TALKS
For the unlucky I give talks on pretty well any plant topic you want, although exotics and how to grow them is favorite (just love the sound of my own voice)
I charge £80 for a talk, local area is up to 15 miles or so away, further I will have to charge diesel, I also bring along a few plants to sell if you are still awake at the end.

Also see the September 2017 issue of the Plantsman magazine for a feature by us on overwintering exotics
