About Us

    Established in 1973 and situated at 700ft. above sea level, close to the Peak District, the nursery specialises in the production of a wide range of hardy bamboos. At present over 100 species and varieties are being propagated, many available in large sizes. Although specialising in bamboos, we also stock a range of Shrubs, Ivies, Grasses and Trees etc.

Delivery and collection

Many of our bamboos are grown in large sizes so that they quickly produce an impressive effect. Because of their size, however, they are not welcomed by delivery companies who much prefer small items in standard cartons which can be mechanically sorted. At present our only means of sending mail order parcels is by Parcel Force. The maximum parcel length permitted for this service is 1.5m. In order to conform to this length, culms can be bent or trimmed which causes no harm to the plant as its strength is in the root system. Delivery charges are based upon weight - please ask for a  quotation as costs vary according to the location and type of service required as well as weight. It is helpful if you can mention your postcode or nearest town.

Whenever possible we encourage customers to collect their plants from the nursery. We will be pleased to assist with packaging, and as bamboos are both robust and flexible, they can be readily bundled and made quite compact, so that quite a number of them can easily be fitted into the average car.

Where several plants are required, the use of a pallet delivered by a haulage
company may well be a good alternative. In this case the weight of the plants is more or less unlimited, but as they travel upright rather than on their side, their height is limited to the height of the lorry, about 2.3m, unless the tops can be bent over It is therefore sometimes necessary for the tops to be trimmed. Please ask for further details if you think this means of delivery may be of interest.

All prices include VAT at the standard rate.

Visiting the nursery.

We are pleased to receive visitors, but please remember that ours is a working nursery rather than a garden centre - we do not have fixed hours of opening, so it is essential to contact us before setting off in order to ensure that someone is available to deal with your enquiry.


Purchasing

Payment by cash or cheques only please. We regret that it is not possible for us to carry out card transactions.
