When will I receive my plants?

We dispatch spring/summer plants on a first-come-first-serve basis, from the end of April through to late
summer. If you pre-order before April, you can expect to receive your plants between late-April and late-May.
We will keep you posted by email as best as we can if there are any delays with your order.
Seed potatoes are sent separately in February/March. Vouchers are usually sent within a few days.

What happens if I am going to be away?

You will receive a delivery update email from us about 1 week before your order is dispatched. If you will be
away when your plants are due to arrive, please let us know as soon as possible before the cut off date and
time stated in the email, to ensure we are able to reschedule your delivery.

How & where do you deliver?

We deliver to mainland UK addresses. Most orders are sent with DPD, and vouchers are sent with Royal
Mail. All plants are sent in biodegradable, recyclable packaging.

I live locally, can I come and collect plants directly?

Unfortunately we cannot accommodate any local collections at the farm. Please place your order online
and we will deliver your plants via courier.

How big will the plants be?

First time ordering with us? Most veg plants & companions/edible flowers will be sent bare-rooted and will be between 10cm & 20cm tall,
ready to be planted. Herbs and fruit are sent as slightly larger plants and come in bio-degradable pots.

Once you’ve placed your order, you can sit back and relax for a while. We’ll keep you
updated as best as we can in the run up to spring, and then once all the plants in your order
