Nursery News – November 2010

One of the other things we do  at Fletching Glasshouses besides growing organic vegetables is that  we offer a wide range of ornamental and edible plants by mail order.  Here’s an update on what we’ve been up to the last couple of months.

A lot has been going on since our last update. The winter really feels like it’s kicking in with dark days and a lot of November rain! Christmas is now just around the corner and with that in mind we’ve been working hard to introduce a new ‘my account’ facility to help make ordering that little bit quicker and easier for our regular customers. More about my account.

We’ve also got some changes to the layout of the website and a new simpler plant search facility in the pipeline so look out for these changes over the next couple of weeks.

As well as introducing new web features, we’ve also been busy expanding our range of christmas plants with new Amaryllis colours, gold bowls of hyacinths and both indoor and outdoor planted baskets. We’ve got some lovely camellias back in for the winter and pretty xmas cactus trios, anthurium and azaleas all looking good this month and of course a full range of festive plants available here

We will be taking orders for christmas delivery right up until December 22nd but don’t forget if you are after something specific, please do order and reserve your plants in advance to avoid disappointment. Chilli plants in particular are likely to be sell out this year so do get in and reserve yours nice and early.

Many of you will have received a christmas card from us in the last week or so and these mark the introduction of a whole range of brand new greeting cards for Christmas 2010 and beyond. The new greeting cards are even larger than our previous cards and at A5 size there is plenty of room to fit your handwritten messages. Printed on uncoated recycled card they are still as eco as possible but exclusive to P4P they use images of our own plants and the sussex countryside – we hope you like them!
