Nicholson Herb Farm

I ordered from them last week and received my order today. Extremely impressed!

-cheap plants (most of them were £2.00 each)
-extensive range of herbs, incuding some little known perennials - Elecampane for example, which I'd never heard of...and I got my Lemon Verbena
-one delivery charge, regardless what you buy
-excellent communication - email sent when you order giving a week commencing delivery date and another when they are despatched

And when the plants arrived
-I requested they be left on the doorstep, which they were (safe here)
-strong, healthy plants (better than some other retailers who charge more for poor specimens)
-well packaged

One thing, not a niggle, just a point to make. You need to order a minimum of 8 plants, but at £2.00 each, that's hardly a hardship. The size of plants you get are better than in most garden centres for more money.

Edited to add -

Adding the website might be a help as well!

I'm glad this lot turned out to be good news. It's always nice when you find a good supplier - it makes up for the occasional duff one!

 

I have just placed an order on your recommendation. Will let you know how it goes.

I'm really excited to be filling up the gaps in my herb bed!

 

just figured out that this place is not that far away for me to get to but they are not open to the public.
I'll have a browse of the website later.
thanks for positng it up.

 

Shobhna, I think if you email them they will give you a code to put in at checkout, allowing you to collect your order.

 

How did your ordering go Victoria?

I sent them a thank you email after I recieved my plants - they asked if they could add to the testimonial page on their website and I was happy to agree to it. Nice company and some unusual herbs to choose from.
