£1.50 to UK.
£6 to Non EU Europe (we cannot send to EU countries now courtesry of Brexit, sorry).
£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.
£7 to the rest of the world.
I am afraid the price of our seeds is going up to £2.50 in 2022. Our first price rise in ten years!
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.
