Our Online Delivery Service – Why We Do It This Way
*Please note that some of our plants are now available to buy from our online shop. Only a limited number of our extensive range, we must stress, but more are on the way. Hunt Here
Venturing Online
We don’t mind admitting that we have launched our online shop with a certain amount of trepidation. In the past, plans to provide our customers with an online mail order service have been hindered by all sorts of questions – not least, how to overcome the often unsociable nature of e-shopping or indeed how to send you our plants (living things) so that they arrive in perfect condition. However, we now believe we’ve developed a system that will allow you to hunt for all our available products and provide you with sensible categories for their safe delivery. The plants, (and the pots to put them in), whilst not immediately available, are not far behind in our master plan.
Available Now
You can now get hold of our gift vouchers, a wide selection of pots, and all the tools, ladders, lifestyle accessories, selected irrigation and other kit items you might possibly want. How they will arrive is explained below.
Coming Soon
More of our plants – of course. We’ve recently added a preliminary online selection of 50 from the 40,000 plants available on our nursery. Bare with us and keep hunting as we add more online.
talk to us – we’re here to help and advise
An absolutely essential part of our service involves talking with you about your choices and helping you make the best decision. We are insistent about this. If you are unsure at any point during your online adventure please pause for further thought, and contact us for advice and guidance. Our sales team are adamant that you should.
If you are unsure about your order you can save you items as a wish list and send it to our team. We’ll contact you within 48 hours to help you with the choices you’ve made and discuss the most suitable delivery option. Please note that this does not reserve the selected products.

Once your order is completed and received, our sales team will be in contact to confirm a suitable delivery date. 24 hours before your delivery, we will call to confirm your delivery time slot.
