Welcome to Caths Garden Plants 2008 - Our 5th Year.
Welcome to the new website for Cath's Garden Plants. We're still working on the site, but feel free to come in and have a look around... please bear with us whilst we continue to put in even more information and many photos.
Our business is continuing to grow and we would like to thank all our loyal customers for their support. We try to find plants both new and old that will add colour and interest to your garden. All new introductions aren't necessarily good garden plants and we try to assess, read about and often test out plants ourselves to select and offer you the ones we consider the best. Equally, we like to re-introduce some of the older varieties that have just fallen out of fashion but are 'good doers' and can still look stunning in your garden.
On our website you will discover a wide range of both usual and more unusual herbaceous perennials, our main specialism. If you can't find the plant you require it's still worth contacting us as we often have small quantities of plants that are not always advertised.
We also grow shrubs, grasses, ferns, climbers and this year will have available a small range of culinary herbs and alpines. Throughout the season we will be advertising special offers so we hope that you will keep logging on.
Our plants are grown outside. We think that is why so many of our customers tell us that the plants they buy from us grow away happily in their gardens. We believe that perennial plants belong outside so that they are already acclimatised when you transplant them into your own garden and they should grow away with little if any trouble.
Although our site is not yet set up as a secure e-commerce facility (should be available later this year), we still offer mail order. We are able to accept orders by e-mail, phone or post and accept credit cards or cheques (please do not e-mail your credit card details). Our minimum order is £15.00. As the cost of delivery is a large part of your mail order cost why not join with a friend or put together an order from a horticultural society/group/club as the delivery cost of heavier parcels tend to work out cheaper per plant.
Plants sent mail order are the same size as those sold on the nursery. We do not send plug plants or liners. We want our plants to romp away in your garden as soon as they are planted. We hope you will become a regular customer and so we will strive to give you the quality of service and plants you would receive if you were able to visit our nursery.
We hope that you find our website easy to use. Could you please let us know if you have any problems so that we can rectify them. We do not use our website, you do, and so we will value your comments. We would also like positive comments and any suggestions for improvements. We cannot guarantee to act on them all but we will certainly consider them.
