Anyone delivering garden supplies?

Just out of interest, the Waitrose and RHS keep closing their online ordering section due to high volume. I think the 2 main sheds - B & Q and Homebase - have limited stock and a collection day up to a week away. It's always worth contacting one of the nurseries out of London direct and asking maybe...

I am doing deliveries from my nursery who are operating a distancing collection for plants, trees, pots, compost , watering systems, gravels & stone mulches , bark chip & more.

I am doing collection & deliveries in the next few days , but have to wait for my slot

Shannons are extremely helpful.


If you phone them, they will tell you what they have in stock or are expecting.


You can then pay over the phone.


They will deliver, but it is expensive. However you can drive to their back gate, phone them from your car and they will put your order outside the gate while you sit in your car.


When they have gone you can pick the things up.


I got a load of compost yesterday.


Am being careful with handling the bags though (wearing gloves plus leaving it in the car for a while).


ETA: I can also highly recommend Nigel above, who was very helpful regarding something else a month or so back.

Just wondering if anyone has ordered anything from the lovely Shannons Garden Centre lately, and if so, how long did it take? I emailed an order on 1st May but haven't heard anything (apart from an automatic email reply). Am I being too impatient? Don't want to chase, they must be inundated with orders and anyway instructions are not to phone them... thanks

    • We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years. 
    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.
