Questions about the nursery

Ordering, membership and growing for the co-op. For anything else, contact the nursery.

  • Where do you deliver?

    Enter your delivery address at the basket to see the options and cost for your order. Plants and bare-root fruit have different delivery options from seed packets; collection from the nursery is also available.

  • What if a packet does not come up?

    Tell us the variety and the harvest year on the packet and we send a replacement from a different batch, or refund it. Germination is tested before listing, but a cold spring can still beat a good batch.

  • Can a school or allotment society join?

    Yes, as a group member. A group pays the household rate, receives the twelve packets as one parcel and can send up to four people to each workshop.

  • How do I grow something for the bench?

    Ask at the nursery or write to the bench. A grower takes on one variety, keeps it the required distance from its relatives, and brings the cleaned seed in after harvest for testing.
