DeliveryTerms and Conditions see belowWhere we send P&P Rates click herePrivacy, Cancellation, Returns and Complaints click hereEEA/EU and Channel Islands/Isle of Man Brexit UpdateI am sorry to say that we no longer send plants outside England, Scotland and Wales. The costs of UK Government inspections and Phytosanitary Certificates make export of retail quantities of plants to Northern Ireland and the EU/EEA uneconomical. The paperwork would cost a LOT more than the plants. Where we send Unfortunately we can no longer send plants to Northern Ireland, Eire, EU or EEA. Availability and Substitutes Despite our best efforts to keep the website up to date, we cannot guarantee the availability of all plants listed. Where a plant is unavailable, we will send the balance of your order, adjusting your payment if applicable. If you would like us to pick a substitute for you instead, or to double up on other varieties, please tell us in the box on the first page of the checkout. We will never send substitutes unless asked for.Sometimes we run out of a certain size of a plant; when this happens we will normally send an alternative size if that's possible. This may mean that you get a bigger plant for the same money, but if the plant sent is smaller or there is a big difference in size we will adjust your bill accordingly. We never send plug plants or rooted cuttings. Ordering and Payment From 1st January 2022: please note that we have a minimum order of £25 plus P&P. Despatch You should receive an email when your order is despatched, giving you tracking details (if available). Please make use of this if you don't get your plants as soon as you expect them – and let us know promptly if plants have not arrived. Please note that all deliveries will need signing for unless you instruct us otherwise. If you prefer, you can give alternative instructions, e.g. "leave in porch" or "leave with neighbour", at your risk. These instructions must be given during the checkout process – please note they cannot be emailed or phoned etc afterwards. Packing Please open your box as soon as possible. In the top of the box you will find an information sheet on unpacking and planting your new arrivals. If you have asked for a printed invoice it will be here too (or you can log into your account online and download a PDF to print).. Please carefully check the contents of the box against your paperwork and search for any "missing" plants amongst packing material. Sometimes a solid sheet of cardboard is used to separate layers of plants in boxes and you may have a "false floor" beneath which is another layer of plants. Please let us know promptly if anything is missing.
