Delivery
Please Note: We are currently operating on a planned delivery service basis (please see below).
All orders placed from 1st October 2024 onwards will be delivered as soon as we have a delivery route in your area.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Delivery
We deliver throughout mainland UK using our own transport and our prices include free delivery with the added convenience of having your order delivered directly to your garden.
We aim to deliver as quickly as possible, however delivery can take up to 28 days.
For the majority of the UK we will make both Spring & Autumn deliveries so that you get your products and are able to get on with your gardening year. For orders placed outside these periods we will deliver as and when we have delivery routes in the area. Due to the distances involved we need to have full and economic routes in place therefore on rare occasions delivery may exceed the usual 28 day delivery service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planned Delivery Service
Due to logistics and the distances involved, deliveries to most areas are now delivered as part of our planned delivery service.
All orders placed from 1st October 2024 onwards will now be delivered as either part of our planned delivery service or as soon as we have enough orders and a delivery route in your area.
The next planned delivery service for most areas is scheduled for early 2025 (dates to be confirmed).
For our more remote customers deliveries only take place 1-2 times a year. The next delivery to the following areas will take place in Spring 2025.
These areas include:
Northern Scotland (AB, IV, PH9 and above and PA19 and above postcode areas)
Extreme Scottish Highlands & Islands (Spring delivery only. At present we unable to offer delivery to the KW postcode area)
Devon & Cornwall & South West (TR, PL, TQ and parts of EX & TA postcode areas)
South East (includes: Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex)
Lincolnshire
Cumbria
Please Note:
Delivery routes will only go ahead providing we get enough orders. We will contact all customers should any changes arise. Existing customers in these areas will be updated on our planned delivery schedules via our customer mailings. If you are not an existing customer and would like to place an order please contact us first to find out details of our next planned delivery trip!
For Greater London customers (inside the North & South circular) - having now experimented with deliveries, delivery will take place during the set periods listed above but will take place either early morning or late evening on a weekend.

Pallets
We can arrange for larger orders to be sent out using national pallet carriers. Delivery will be made using an 18 tonne HGV with tail-lift (a smaller 7.5 tonne vehicle can be requested).
Goods will be delivered on wooden pallet (non-returnable). Please note: Only curb side delivery can be guaranteed - Carriers used will deliver as close to the property as access allows but they will be unable to move pallets over gravel or grass surfaces or up inclines or along paths.
Please note: Depending on location this service may incur an additional charge of approx £2-3 a sack.
