why don't you sell or display prices on line?
We quite often have offers and we do not have an automated system to allow us to update things on our website. The amount of work this involves would take us away from growing quality plants.
Our prices do not appear on-line because our website is first and foremost an information site as opposed to an on-line shop. It is not possible to order goods via our website and we believe that adding prices would cause confusion and mislead customers into making the false assumption that it is possible to buy on-line.

What does AGM in the plant description mean?
Award of Garden Merit, these plants have been awarded the Garden Merit by the RHS. Awards are usually given after a period of trial at an RHS garden, often Wisley. Plants are judged by one of the RHS plant committees. Any plants with the AGM are displayed on their labels.
This means that the plant has been trialled by the Royal Horticultural Society and they have found the plant to have good garden worthiness. They look at such qualities as disease resistance, constitution and ease of maintenance. Plants found to perform well in these areas are then given the RHS Award of Garden Merit - AGM.
When is the best time of year to plant?
Ideally Spring or Autumn. We believe that Autumn is the optimum time to plant as this gives the plants enough warmth and water to get their roots well established. Our springs are becoming warmer and warmer and we can find that sometimes Spring is too warm for plants to get themselves established without a lot of extra watering.
Most plants can be successfully planted at any time of year. However, the sooner they are planted before the heat and dryness of summer the more quickly they will make roots, and therefore need less watering.
The only exception to this is bare-root plants (such as hedging plants) which must be planted when dormant - usually this is between November and March.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we accept all major credit cards but not American Express. We have a minimum spend on cards of £5.00
