Minimum Order for Postage

Apologies. There is a minimum order of $40 for shipping. Please review your cart and add more items if needed. If your order is just bulbs and seeds, contact me for postage as the site does not allow me to add a cheaper category for this.

Expanding again

Thank you for supporting my venture. 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. I am still learning to predict what you want, and to be able to propagate the right things. Most are very slow to produce.

My aim is to make enthusiasts (like me) happy, sourcing that perfect plant.

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 it will be available again. As I get busy I sometimes forget to update stock. So if you are really loolking for something. JUST 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.

Workshops and Open Days
