The snow has finally cleared and it looks like Spring is definitely in the air with snowdrops, primroses and daffs popping up all over the garden.
The nursery & gardens are opening for the 2012 season on Saturday 3rd March 2012. We will have a good selection of perennial herbs ready for you to take away...it's still too early for the annuals yet but it's never too early for a Cream Tea or a wedge of cake with a cappuccino which will be available in the tea room!
Don't forget, if you can't make it to us for a visit we can send plants and seeds out directly to you via our online shop so make sure you 'call in' there to see all the latest additions including 9 new varieties of seeds this year - water spinach, amaranth, clove pinks and Stevia to name but a few
The organic MOONPHASE veggie plots are proving to be a great success and this year will be no exception

PLACING YOUR ORDER IN OUR ONLINE STORE
Please don't feel intimidated by this it is really easy to follow. Because of the way the system is set up you will find categories, sub-categories and then individual items listed. For example, if you are looking for hamburg parsley seeds go to the HERB SEEDS category then the SEEDS I-P
sub-category (as in parsley rather than hamburg) then you just scroll down the alphabetical listings to the parsleys. You can find things even more quickly if you use the QUICK FIND search option. Type in what you are looking for and a selection of items will pop up in a box for you to peruse. Once you have clicked the BUY NOW button you will find the quantity box is set at a default of 1. If you wish to increase the amount just delete this number and add your required quantity and click the update button. If you don't click the update button the system will revert to the default quantity, 1.
Once you have selected everything you would like, go to the checkout page where you will be required to register and sign in. You only have to register once, after that you can just sign in whenever you visit the shop.
We never pass on your details to any third parties - you may wish to read through our privacy policy which is readily available on the shopfront if you are worried and our server is completely secure.
