The Old Walled Garden Nursery

We usually grow plants specifically for each order, so it is advisable when ordering to select one or two alternative varieties in case we have difficulty in propagating some of the more difficult varieties. We will substitute the nearest alternative unless requested not to. If substitute of our choice is unacceptable, you are entitled to return it within 7 days and we will reimburse the cost of the plant and postage. The fact that we accept an order and payment does not guarantee that every plant will be available at the time of execution; occasionally plants may die or be damaged by adverse conditions. We would, of course, then refund any payments already made. We will acknowledge your order by email.

MAIL ORDER PLANTS

All plants are pot grown and dispatched by first class letter post because speed is essential once the pelargoniums are packed. Plants sent out for mail orders are grown in peat pots. On receipt of plants, pot on into larger pots leaving the peat pot on the plant - the roots will grow through this and eventually the peat pot will disintegrate. John Innes No 2, or a soil-less potting compost can be used. They can also be planted straight out into the garden or into tubs still with the peat pot on (remembering that they will not withstand frost). If you are growing plants in pots, after four weeks water regularly with a high potash feed (tomato feed) once every 10 days during the late Spring and Summer.

Orders for Spring must be received by 21st APRIL and will be dispatched by the end of May or in the case of late April orders, in early June. Orders received after this date will be dispatched in Autumn. Last date for Autumn dispatch is 1st SEPTEMBER and the plants will be sent during October and November, and Spring dispatch is from April to early June.

PAYMENT By credit card or cheque.

Credit card and cheques. Payment will be taken from your account on receipt of your order. However please note we may not be able to dispatch your order within the statutory 30 days because the plants are being grown specifically for you, and depending on the time of the year the order is given the dispatch of the plants might vary from 2 months to 6 months.

Cheques (made payable to Fibrex Nurseries Ltd) will be banked on receipt of order. We regret we are no longer able to accept orders of less than 5 plants for dispatch by post. We will supply any number, however small, of plants collected from the Nursery.

DISPATCH

Before dispatching, plants are carefully examined and packed to ensure that they arrive in perfect condition. All parcels are covered by insurance against damage, loss or delay. If your plants are not in good condition upon receipt because of damage or delay, notify us immediately by letter (first class), giving date of arrival of parcel, so we can make a claim against Royal Mail. Please retain the box and contents so, if necessary, they are available for inspection by a Royal Mail representative. Complaints cannot be entertained unless these conditions are adhered to. In due course the plants will be replaced free of charge. We cannot be responsible for the future health of plants when plants are grown in conditions beyond our control although we are quite prepared to give advice on growing problems. Once the plants have been delivered the ownership has passed from us to the customer.
