Shipping And Handling

All orders are sent in late April, May or early June except for Galanthus, which are despatched in February and March, and succulents which are sent all year, . If you have chosen the cheque payment option we will send the invoice with payment details in April. Once payment has been made the plants will be sent as soon as they are ready.

We despatch orders on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays with Parcelforce on a 48hr delivery or with Royal Mail. (In order to avoid any orders being held in transit over weekends, we do not despatch after Wednesdays.)

We offer a varied rate of £9.00 for 1-3 plants, £12 for 4-20 plants and £15 for 21-50 plants per order. Although there is an incremental surcharge from our courier for orders over 10 plants, we will cover the extra delivery cost of any order – please view this as a discount for larger orders!

We are also able to take orders with us to any shows or plant fairs we attend.

Orders placed can also be picked up directly from our nursery, please see our Plan your visit page for opening times.
