NURSERY IS NOW CLOSED UNTIL MARCH.
GARDEN IS NOW CLOSED UNTIL APRIL
COURSES We hope to be running our half day courses as usual from Aprli 2021. See Courses .
MAIL ORDER - We are now up to date with sending out orders, but the post is very very erratic at the moment, thanks largely to Covid. Please allow two to three weeks for UK delivery in January and February. Longer for other countries.
We post Seeds anywhere in the world, but it is up to you to make sure that you are allowed to receive them.
£1.50 to UK.
£5 to Europe .
£10 to US. Both the postage rates to the US and the bureaucracy have increased considerably.
US residents will need to apply for a Small Lots of Seed Exemption - usually quick and easy to get.
£6 to the rest of the world.
During the growing season we post seedlings and rooted cuttings of many varieties within the UK. See Online Shop / Young Plants by Mail Order .
What is on offer changes every few weeks.
We grow and sell unusual plants from all over the world including an amazing range of hardy herbaceous and rockery plants as well as many tender perennials for terrace and conservatory. Derry Watkins, author of two books on greenhouse gardening has introduced many new plants from her plant collecting trips to South Africa and elsewhere. She also teaches one day gardening courses at the nursery and lectures extensively.
The nursery is near Bath in southwest England, but we post seeds all over the world.
