Shipping information

When will my order be sent and what is the delivery charge.
ORDERS ARE TAKING 1 - 2 WEEKS TO DISPATCH.



How soon will my order be sent?
We aim to dispatch orders within one week of them being placed. We give an indication of current dispatch times on both the Checkout page and also on the order confirmation email. If you require your order to be delivered by a certain date, e.g. for an anniversary or a birthday, please make sure you add this to the comments section of the checkout page and we will do our best to make sure that you receive the order in good time.


How will I know when my order will arrive?
We will email you on the day that we dispatch your order and it should then arrive on the next working day in most parts of the UK. Deliveries to Isle of Man, Channel Islands and the more remote parts of Scotland usually take 2 days.

How do you send your plants?
We pack the plants securely into specially designed cardboard boxes which are delivered by courier. Each plant has its pot individually wrapped in a plastic bag to retain both soil and moisture, and is then secured into the box so that it cannot move around, even if the package is mishandled in transit. Large orders may have to be sent on a pallet, or by delivery van, rather than courier. Small, lightweight items, such as a book or fertiliser, may be sent by 2nd Class Post as a cheaper alternative to courier.

What will happen if I am not in when the delivery is made?
If you have told us of a safe location to leave the parcel, then we will have passed this information to the couriers and they should leave it as instructed. If you haven't told us where to leave the parcel, then the couriers will first try a neighbour and if that's not possible they should then leave you a card and attempt delivery again on the next working day.

How much does delivery cost?
Lightweight parcels (e.g. single books) are sent by Royal Mail 2nd Class (no tracking available). All other deliveries are routinely sent by courier (DHL Parcels) using a tracked, next-day delivery service.The delivery charge is calculated automatically based on the weight of your order. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the Checkout page - once the delivery address has been entered, the cost will be calculated based on the area selected as below.

Do you deliver outside of the UK?

Regrettably we are no longer able to send plants outside of the UK due to uncertainty on import restrictions and the high costs of plant health certification - this includes Northern and republic of Ireland. However for larger commercial orders please contact us via email to discuss.
