    Quite a lot of their range seems available in local garden centres at the moment, at least around here, at 5 for £10. I know because I had a lot in my basket with them last autumn but decided not to buy. I've since picked up what I wanted locally which is nice because you can choose the best ones and you know what you are getting. No postage, just some wet feet from the rain.

    I received 15 plants yesterday as part of a mystery box with free delivery. Must be the luck of the draw that they didn't get cancelled.

    @Eustace I figured it meant I picked unpopular plants 😆


    Visited the nursery I’d seen and they had 9cm pots for £2.25 each, so pretty happy with that! Not a massive selection but had a few I wanted, I will go back in a month or so and see if they have any different ones in!

    @zugenie I received an order yesterday which I had placed in November. Very few missing and refunded promptly. So I have placed another order for summer garden box of 9 plants (yesterday's offer) which came to £4.50 with the goodwill pass and free delivery.

    I too received an order yesterday, 1 month after placing it. 10 out of 12 plants working out at ~£1.50 each (and a prompt refund fir the other two. All in good condition and mostly a decent size - the Primula viallii are tiny but definitely there and healthy.

    @LG_ that’s good! I will try them again eventually, it would be good to get some plants to grow on for the front garden

    I'm glad the orders seem to be coming through better. I made an order in March of ten plants or so due to come through in May. I was/am  toying with cancelling the order if less than half are likely to turn up, esp it the plants actuallyarrive in June - which is pretty late in the growing season and half the year is gone...
