Plants by mail order since 1984, over 4100 plants online today!
Thursday 24th September. Our online ordering service will be unavailable from 4:00p.m. today whilst we move servers. Hopefully everything will be back and running normally on Friday! Our phone lines/emails will be working as normal but we will not be able to take orders or answer any queries relating to orders, as we will not have access to the system either. Thank you for your patience in advance.
