We send plants to the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. But no longer to Northern Ireland or the EU due to Brexit.

Our plant nursery cycle means that plants go live online to buy from early August onwards, for delivery November to March. By March they will all be sold out and we spend the growing season replenshing stocks. We also grow a summer and Mediterranean plant selection available to buy June/July.
