Our nursery has been flooded
Storm water has reached the nursery and we will not be able to ship orders for at least a week. We do not expect to resume dispatch before Monday 26 October.
The shop is still open and you can keep ordering, but your order will not leave until then. We will post an update here as soon as we are shipping again.
