dunboyne jan.jpg Our Dunboyne shop has more space than our other shops, and has a superb variety of indoor and outdoor plants. Manager Declan Murphy has a keen eye for special plants, and you will find rare gems as well as practical, useful plants that will will work well in the colder climate of Co Meath. This week's delivery comes fresh from another Irish nursery, meaning that the plants are hardy and strong, and support skilled Irish jobs.

Landscape materials for your garden

There are some things that are just too heavy or dirty to carry in your car, so it makes sense to get them delivered. You may be renovating a garden, making a new bed, putting down a lawn or doing some DIY landscaping. If so, it's better value and more convenient to buy in bulk. Howbert & Mays have been running an efficient and good value landscape delivery service for more than ten years. We deliver in counties Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare and Meath.

Lessons from Stockholm

If your interest is plants, and your business is selling them, then plant shops are exciting places. So, when we (Howbert & Mays) visted the trade fair 'Formex' in Stockholm, we were naturally very happy to see that this is a city that takes its plants seriously. The first inkling of this was the quantity of small plant shops dotted everywhere throughout the city. We loved this pretty, atmospheric window of begonias and cacti glowing on the dark street.
