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

    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
    • Maybe the signor in question spotted some hot jacuzzi action and just had to stop in?
