Links & Information

Useful Gardening Links

Here you will find a number of useful links that we become aware of from customers and suppliers. We cannot take any responsibility for their content and these are supplied in good faith strictly for interest.

We provide seed germination instructions for all of our seeds on our seed packets and provide some general exotic seed germination tips sent out with all of seed orders. Because we specialise in many unusual varieties general seed germination information tends to be less than useful.
