Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver across the UK?

Yes. We deliver to most of mainland UK, with free delivery on orders over £400 to most locations — any delivery charge for your postcode is confirmed at checkout. You can also use click and collect from the nursery.

When is the best time to plant a hedge?

Autumn is ideal, with early spring the next best option. Container-grown plants can go in year-round as long as they are kept well watered while they establish.

Do you grow your own plants?

Yes. We grow what we sell on our own 30-acre nursery, so the plant you see is the plant you get, with honest advice from people who know them.
