Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

DELIVERY

When will my order be delivered?+-

We’re constantly making changes to reduce our carbon footprint, so we’ll aim to send your items altogether according to the item with the longest lead time.

However, the following items may arrive in separate deliveries:

  • Bedding
  • Bulbs
  • Compost
  • Selected pots
  • Seeds
  • Items direct from our suppliers

Please check your confirmation email for dispatch lead times. Once dispatched allow 3 working days for items to be delivered and 5 working days for seeds.

Will someone call me before delivery?+-

Our drivers are unable to call you before delivery.

Can I choose a delivery time slot?+-

Sorry, we currently don’t offer this service but you can choose a specific delivery day (see “Named Day” when ordering).

I’ve received part of my order, when will the rest of my items arrive?+-

We try our best to send all your items in one delivery but where this isn’t possible, as with bedding, bulbs, compost, selected pots and seeds, we’ll send them as soon as they’re ready.

There are 3 ways to check the status of your items:

  1. Confirmation email - for details of when your items will arrive
  2. Your RHS Plants Account - for the latest updates
  3. Dispatch email - sent every time an item goes out for delivery.

However, if you’re worried about the rest of your order, please contact us here.

Bank Holidays+-

No deliveries are made on a Bank Holiday – or the day after a Bank Holiday.

Click & Collect+-

We’re sorry, we don’t offer a Click & Collect service.

Do you deliver overseas?+

Sorry, we don’t currently deliver outside of Great Britain. Click here to see further delivery information.

How do we arrange the packaging of your orders?+

We package our products in the most environmentally friendly way possible by reducing or reusing our packaging, while still making sure your order arrives in good condition.

For orders delivered by our partner couriers, we now only use brown paper and tape in the box's.

Some large orders, or those local to our nursery, are delivered by our own team. We don’t use any packaging for these deliveries, or include delivery notes, to promote a paper free approach. We only use plastic packaging when absolutely necessary for plant protection and it’s always made from recycled materials.

To further reduce paper waste and to accommodate deliveries intended as gifts, we don’t send invoices with our deliveries.

All our plants are labelled with their name and plant passport on each pot, so please check these when they arrive.

PLANT AND PRODUCT QUERIES

What do I do if I’m not happy with the quality of my plant or item?+-

Products

We’re extremely sorry if you receive a product that’s damaged. Please follow the steps below so we can put this right:

  1. Contact us, with your order number, within 14 days to tell us the problem.
  2. Return the item, in it’s original packing, within 28 days and get a replacement or refund.
  3. If covered by a manufacturer’s warranty please contact the manufacturer directly.

Plants

If you receive a plant that you believe is in bad condition, don’t worry, it’s likely your plant will spring back to life!

Depending on the time of year, plants look different. For example deciduous shrubs (shed their leaves once a year), look pretty bare if you’ve purchased them during autumn and winter but they’ll perk up when the weather does.

Many perennial plants (bloom for one season a year) won't show above the soil in a pot during the winter.

However, if you’re concerned, please contact us within 14 days of delivery with photographs of your plant and we’ll arrange a refund or replacement once we’ve understood what caused the problem.

VIEWING PLANTS BEFORE PURCHASE

Can I visit your nursery and take a look at the plants before I order?+-

We’re a fully working nursery so due to health and safety concerns it isn’t possible to visit us.

INVOICES

Can I get a VAT invoice?+-

Once you’ve received your order, please contact us here to request a VAT invoice.

Please note, we’re unable to provide a VAT invoice before your order has been shipped.

ORDERS AND STOCK

Can I request a notification for when an item is back in stock?+-

Yes! You can request an email notification for when it’s back in stock. Just select the item and enter your email address where prompted.

Unfortunately, we aren’t able to give exact dates of when the item will be available.

I’ve had an email to say my item isn’t available after I’ve paid for it. What are my options?+-

Unfortunately, very occasionally, the plant you’ve bought isn’t at it’s best when it’s picked. We don’t want to send you anything other than a perfect plant, so when this happens, we’ll happily refund you or offer an alternative/voucher.

Please let us know the option you’d like here.
