Garden Plants & Furniture

Expanding again

Sales have gone very well of late, which is great. But it is a double edged sword, I am finding it difficult to maintain the stock levels I would like. Spring is here which is great for propagation. I have trouble predicting what you want, or propagating the right things. Most are very slow to produce.

I aim to make crazy mad gardeners like myself happy, sourcing that perfect plant NOW.

If I have no stock, "Growing on", is the only general message I can use. You can still look up the information for a plant you might have bought and you will know that I will have it again, but as yet, it is not ready. How long is soon you may well ask? It depends, so if you are really keen, do ask.

My plants are usually small. If you really want one of my new arrivals, it might be very small, costing less. Easy things are less too. Let me know what you would like and bear with me while I grow. Literally.
