This time last year the nursery was fully stocked and happily awaiting the normal and usual spring rush. Then came the pandemic and an increase in the level of our mail order business which we had never expected to have to cope with as our turnover and order numbers doubled overnight and have continued to do so on into 2021.
Our packing sheds and computer systems have advanced and developed by perhaps five years in just twelve months while just about maintaining our normal order processing speeds and, at times (as now), limiting the number of orders we could accept on our website in any one day to avoid being overwhelmed.
