In common with most other young plant producers we have reduced our production levels in response to the increasingly unpredictable nature of the trade. We no longer use a rented nursery and this means that we are having to grow in smaller batches but, where we can, more of them in a season and we hope that this will keep our availability list as wide-ranging as ever, but it may mean that you cannot assume that particular plants will be available at all times of year. So, if you want it, order it while it is there.
However what we we have not done is reduce the range we grow as we firmly believe that there is still a good demand for a wide range of plants - but the way they reach the gardener is changing. Destination and chain garden centres are not where a range is found and nor is it where the interested gardener looks for the plants they want. It is to you, our customers that they come and we will do what we can to keep offering you something different. Popularity of particular plants waxes and wanes and some that were once popular are now only of minor interest while others become the new must-have. We have no more idea than anyone else which they will be, but we are sure that the way to commercial oblivion is to follow the crowd.
If you are placing and order can you please let us know hen you would like the first delivery - it can make a difference to how e allocate to batches and it helps us to plan.
