The catalogue is now available to download and contains a listing of all the plants which we are proposing to offer for sale over the coming year. This is where you will find our new plants listed long before the plant list goes to print and consequently posted to those on our mailing list.

We are pleased to report that the nursery is going from strength to strength. Partly due to a more flexible approach to access and a conscientious workforce, many thanks to all concerned. Without forgetting all the support from our loyal customers. Don’t forget we accept appointments all year round to collect containerised plants or to select open ground plants for lifting at a convenient time. Our sales area will not be open over the winter months, but the plants are accessible to our staff.

The year started on a high note with our second RHS show at Vincent Square, where we were awarded a gold medal for our display. With this in mind Sue at least has risen to the challenge and has singed up to exhibit at the 2011 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Fingers crossed. Approaching the end of our 20th season may mean that we will be coming of age in 2011. Luckily for me I’m banned from helping them set up at Chelsea. Does this mean I have also come of age, as a grumpy old man?

At last we made it back into the collecting fields of Asia this autumn, having finally shaken off the gangsters that masquerade under the respectability of banking. More interesting woodies to look forward to in the coming years as well as a good sprinkling of climbers and herbaceous. Great country to collect in, Korea is so buoyant, it’s a pity that our American colleagues did not feel safe enough there to join us. Sue and I had a great time for one of the weeks exploring the islands off the south coast. Lots of thanks to Kihun Song for helping us, saved us a bomb on transport. Could have done with his help in Japan though, which is where I went onto meeting up with Finlay Colley. The currency rates are not in our favour at the moment, some of the costs there were eye-watering. So why are some plants expensive?

For details of some of our new introductions for this year please look at the News page of this site, where we hope to tempt you with our efforts. Mail order may have finally arrived but we do still welcome visitors to the nursery. We still prefer to meet our customers in person and feel more than justified in claiming that a visit to our nursery and display gardens repays the effort of travelling to our beautiful North Wales site.

For those of our customers who are unable to visit the nursery we offer an online shopping experience on our mailorder website, where you can search by many criteria as well as by name (i.e. colour), the website also indicates pot sizes and prices with deliveries throughout the UK and Europe. Our carrier, City Link offer an overnight fragile service, which should have your plants delivered in fresh condition before 5.30pm the following day to dispatch (UK). We have specially designed packaging boxes in 3 sizes giving us the option of dispatching plants from 30cm (1ft) to 249cm (8ft) tall. Our carriage charges are by the box, (volume not weight) hence please consider ordering enough plants to fill a box, rather than one plant as the carriage charge would be the same. There is no minimum charge for the plants purchased. However we feel that we should forewarn our customers that as the season progresses many of our lines will be out of stock. For enquiries on plant availability etc please contact Sue.
