IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are travelling here from a distance ALWAYS phone first before you set out 01905381632 or 07909583512. I am a one-man business and even I sometimes have to leave. There is generally someone here, but they may not be able to give advice.
Looking forward to seeing all my returning customers, friends and of course new customers.
Advice is always available by phone on the above numbers.
On arrival, you will notice that the gates are shut. Please open and drive in there is plenty of space for cars. You will note that there is a sign on the gate which says 'OPEN' which we are 7days per week. The gates are shut because this is a farm and in the unlikely event of an animal escaping, the gates are kept shut for security.
SPRING 2012
SPRING 2012 (March)
Warnings about very dry conditions probably means it will rain all summer!! If it doesn't we will have some desert plants which are hardy and ideal for those conditions. Yuccas of all sizes; rostrata, linearis,dasylirion, filifera, thompsoniana. All different and all look fantastic in any garden.
Agave: some of these do well and some are not worth trying. We stock the hardiest and with correct advice about simple winter care, there should be no problem.
Trachycarpus fortunei and wagnerianus are both hardy and easy to keep, chamaerops, and jubaea will also be stocked. Other palms will be ordered as required.
Olives are another plant that can stand drought conditions if planted. These will also be available.
There will also be the usual eclectic mix of unusual plants to choose from including gingers, gunnera, bamboo bananas, canna etc etc.
I look forward to seeing you all this season.
Regards and best wishes,
Roch
P.S....I told you it would rain!! (May 2011)
