Our new online presence

For many years we have managed with a quaint home built website and simple ordering, supplying the occasional box of plants to fellow enthusiasts. All changed during lockdown when there was a sudden surge in demand, satisfying the needs of keen gardeners. The curve in sales flattened, along with the incidence of Coronavirus virus. And then , unexpectedly, there was a small but excellent feature about the charm of Auriculas on Gardener's World. We were hit by a Tsunami of orders which overwhelmed our quaint little system. Meeting the demand was both exhilarating and exhausting, but we had to move forward. We now have the makings of a system that will be easier to manage and update with availability and new offerings. While people are now able to get about, the advantages of online shopping have become clear. With a few clicks on a keyboard you have access to specialist plant nurseries throughout the length and breadth of the country and unlimited choice.
