Are your plants ready?

Predicting when varieties are ready is a bit of an art, it is our job but it is a natural product which means things like the weather, germination, sequential sowings etc. all have their part to play. To complicate the matter, all your orders are different, so we may have 90% of your varieties ready to go but waiting on one before it can be dispatched to you. So it is a juggling act getting the orders out of the door to your garden.

We want to inform you how the plants are coming on and when they will be available to be dispatched, with over 150 varieties now available through the growing season, and in away so that you can find out the information 24/7. This is not to replace the personal contact and if you have any question regarding your order please just drop us an email or give us a call at the office (01354 740553).

So we are testing a traffic light system:

Plants are ready and being dispatched in the current week
Plants are nearly ready and will be dispatch the following week
Plants are on hold or finished.

Helping to predict when you plants are ready. Hopefully it will give you the information you want and do remember we try and dispatch the whole order in one go so if some of the plants are not ready, these will dictate when plants are being dispatched.

This information is displayed on each product through the website.
