Last posting day for Christmas gifts is Tuesday!
Just a quikie to let you know that Royal Mail's official last posting day for Christmas post is Tuesday.
We will do our final dispatch for 2021 on Thursday but these will not be expected to arrive before Christmas.
If you miss the last posting day for seeds you can always buy a gift voucher which will be delivered electronically.
We have now sold out of 2022 wall calendars and a couple of other things but still have:
- Seed Collections - 4 or 8 packets
- Botanical Lino Cut Postcards - by Isla Middleton who designed our beautiful calendar
- Seed Gift Vouchers
- Gift vouchers for our online seed-saving course

We are taking time off over Christmas so any orders placed after Wednesday 22 December will not be dispatched until the first week of January.
We will next be in touch in the New Year and are looking forward to supporting you to grow your most abundant garden yet in 2022!
We are currently working on some really useful growing guides which will be published online and downloadable as PDF files too, but more on that next year...
Wishing you a wonderful festive period
Fred, Ronja, and the rest of the team
p.s. we will featured on the New Year's Eve edition of Farming Today on BBC Radio 4 so tune in!

March is arguably the most exciting time of year for gardeners and growers. It's the time to sow many seeds and dream of the bountiful harvests they will produce in a few months' time. Every day feels (and is) a little bit longer than the last, and on warm days it can feel like winter is well and truly over. BUT... don't forget that we can have very cold snaps even in March - remember the Beast from the East?! So make sure you keep your seedlings warm and safe. To get busy in the seed shop...
