Please note that while some of our plants are marked as out of stock online, they may still be available at our garden centre. If you’re shopping online, you can click on the default button and the “In Stock” filter at the top of each category page to quickly view plants currently available to order. This will save you time scrolling through items that might only be available in-store. Feel free to give us a call if you’re looking for something specific!
We use straw to pack our plants into boxes as a natural, sustainable alternative to plastic-based materials. Straw is fully biodegradable and compostable, making it an ideal eco-friendly option for protecting plants during transit. Once unpacked, it can be recycled in several environmentally responsible ways: added to compost heaps to enrich organic matter, placed in garden waste bins, or even reused as mulch around garden beds. By choosing straw, we reduce waste, support circular use of natural resources, and help our customers dispose of packaging in a way that benefits their gardens and the planet.
