Descriptions

Illustrations, descriptions other information as to particular plants are approximate and for guidance only.
We may in our sole discretion from time to time vary the nature of the Goods from that advertised without notice to you, so long as these variations are not material alterations.

The quantity and description of the Goods will be those set out in your order (if accepted by us).
Orders are accepted at our sole discretion but are normally accepted if the Goods are available, the order reflects current pricing, you are based in the Delivery Area and your credit or debit card is authorised for the transaction.
The Goods which can be ordered via our Web Site are only available for delivery to you if you are based in the UK.
Telephone orders not confirmed in writing will be fulfilled at our discretion and the delivery of such orders will constitute acceptance of our conditions of sale.
All items are offered subject to crop and availability at the time of ordering. Substitutions will be made, with the customer’s consent, if certain plants are unavailable.
Price of the goods
If the price of the Goods increases between the date we accept your order and the delivery date, we will let you know and ask you to confirm by e-mail that the new price is acceptable. If it is not acceptable then you will of course have the option of cancelling the order.
Our charges for transport and packaging will be advised to you and if acceptable will be included in the total price for the Goods.
Payment terms
We will charge your credit/debit card for payment upon despatch of order. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the right payment details. Payments received by cheque need to be received by us seven working days before dispatch of goods.
If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the Goods from your account on despatch of the Goods to you, we can cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have.
We will take all reasonable care to keep all information connected with your order secure but we cannot be held liable for any loss that you may suffer if a third party obtains unauthorised access to any data, including credit and account details you provide when accessing or ordering from this Web Site, unless this is solely due to our negligence.

We will aim to deliver within the quoted time frame but delivery times are not guaranteed. If delivery is delayed due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, we will contact you to advise you that the delivery date will have to be extended.
Large Goods – You are responsible for all off-loading of large goods. Appropriate equipment and operators must be available on receipt of delivery for off-loading all heavy/bulky material.
Risk and ownership
Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to you at the time of delivery to you or, if you fail to take delivery at the agreed time, the time when we tried to deliver.
