Website update: plants etc temporarily not available online

We reopen our three shops on 18th May. Making them safe for staff and customers is taking a bit of time, so we have temporarily suspended the sale of plants, tools and most other items from our website.

Garden centres to reopen on 18th of May

Garden centres are set to reopen on the 18th of May, and landscapers and gardeners may resume their work then too. This is good news, and it gives us time to reorganise our shops into safe, well-spaced environments for staff and customers. In the meantime, we continue to offer of our online garden centre, and we have enjoyed adding more and more items. We are buying most of our plants from Irish nurseries, whose skill and diversity is hard to match.

Ordering & delivery update

Due to events beyond our control, we can currently only deliver to counties Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare & Meath. This allows us to offer a much more efficient service to the customers we can most easily access. It also means that we can guarantee that plants arrive in perfect condition. Courier services are overstretched at the moment, and can no longer offer a reliable delivery service. With live plants, this has made courier delivery impossible, as plants cannot be kept packed for too long without deteriorating.

Online orders during Corona virus period

April 2020: our shops are currently closed due to the Coronas virus. If you have placed an order wth us, please be assured that we are dealing with your order as promptly as possible. Deliveries can take up to ten days, but many are delivered much faster. If a plant or an item sells out suddenly and we cannot supply it, we will suggest a suitable alternative or can refund you for that item. If you have a query about your order, please contact us via the 'Contact us' form or reply to the email you recieived as you order confirmation.
