We are a working nursery, with heavy machinery and vehicles in operation, and we are not currently open to the public.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to collect your purchases from the nursery.
All our plants are sold as 2 litre, (2L) garden-ready, instant impact plants. This means that, within two weeks of planting, they should be growing steadily, filling in any gaps you have in your borders. (Please note this may vary depending on the time of year).
We use what are known as square-rounds; these are square at the top and round at the bottom. They measure 14cm x 14cm x 14cm.
We use Melcourt Sylvamix, a peat-free mix, with the addition of Met52 Granular, a biological control for Vine Weevil, plus Osmacote, a controlled release fertiliser, to give the plants a boost.
Your plants will be a packaged in a recyclable or compostable cardboard box. They will also be wrapped and secured in either brown packing paper or sheep’s wool which are both recyclable and compostable. The sheep’s wool has no chemical additives and can be reused in many ways, including making a comfy nest for chickens.
The plants will be wrapped individually in a single plastic sleeve to prevent any excess moisture soaking the packaging. Unfortunately, these are not recyclable. Your plants will be delivered to you in plastic pots. At this stage they are not recyclable but can be reused to grow new plants. We send the plants in their pots as it helps to protect the plant while in transit, it also means that if you are unable to plant out your new plants immediately they will have some protection from the elements.
By way of being kinder to the environment and reducing paper waste we don’t produce catalogues. This also helps to keep our product and delivery prices low. All available plants will be displayed through the website. If anything is out of stock you can join the wait list, you will be immediately notified, via email, when plants are in stock.
