As part of the increasingly general coronavirus lock down we are temporarily closing our retail nursery, our open garden and our on site accommodation to the public.
We will post information here and on our Facebook page when we reopen.

All Mail Orders Closed For Winter Off Season
We have shut down our mail orders on the website for the Winter off season a little early this year due to the coronavirus lock down.
Plants will be available for online mail order again next season usually starting for an early Spring in September.
Normally we would still have plants available for retail sale at our nursery but at least temporarily we are also closing that for the coronavirus lock down as well.
Mail orders resume for 2020
A selection of water plants, temperate water lilies and tropical water lilies are available again for mail order through our website.
End of 2019 Mail Order Season
We have shutdown mail orders for the rest of 2019 to avoid leaving plants stuck in the post during the December parcel rush.
Customers that have placed orders during this last week will have their orders sent out on December 2nd which will be our last mail out day for the year.
Mail orders through the website will be enabled again in early January in 2020.
Mail Orders Now Available For Spring
Spring mail orders have been enabled on the website. A selection of marginals, temperate water lilies and lotus are now available to order.
The first orders will be packaged and mailed on Monday the 2nd of September.
More varieties and stock of lilies and marginals will become available through the season. But lotus stocks are limited and their mail order season is particularly short so get your lotus orders in quickly.
Mail Orders End For Winter
Mail orders are now unavailable on the website for the Winter off season.
Plants will be available for mail order again on the website starting some time in Spring.
Lily mail orders end for Summer
Once again we are coming into the winter dormancy for water lilies making them unavailable for mail order.
Many lilies are still available retail pick up at our nursery.
Temperate lilies and lotus will become available again next Spring.
Tropical lilies some time after that.
Some other water plants are still available for mail order for a brief time before winter.
End of Mail Order Season Soon
We are approaching the end of the 2018-2019 mail order season as we head towards autumn. Some plants will become unavailable before we eventually deactivate mail orders for the season.
Notably temperate waterlilies will shortly become unavailable for mail order as it gets too late in the season to safely divide and pot them.
However most of our range of Louisiana water iris are now available for mail order due to their winter growing season.
No longer sending mail orders to Tasmania
Sending plants to Tasmania has always been difficult, but we have persevered regardless.
Now however it is apparently possible to be unpredictably billed for formerly free routine package inspections.
Rather than raise our mailing fees for Tasmania somewhat astronomically we have decided to simply discontinue mail orders to that state.
Lotus Mail Orders End for 2018
Since the plants are now too large to post this season Lotus are no longer available for mail order.
They are still available as advanced potted plants at our nursery for the rest of Summer.
Lotus will be available again for mail order next year, usually starting some time in September.
