Through experience we have found that plug plants survive the journey better when not too wet.  If they are too wet when packed they tend to sweat up and start to rot, especially if delayed at all.

The plug plants that we supply are mainly grown in ‘plugs’ measuring approx 3cm in diameter.

The ‘above ground’ part of the plant can vary in height depending on when it is dispatched.  A good average height would be 10cm but of course this can vary depending on the variety and the time in the season that the order is placed.

Each lot of five plug plants is packaged in a blister pack (see picture below).  The plants are held into position and protected from the ravages of the postal/courier system.  We have sent many thousands of packs to addresses all over the European Union and so far have only come across a couple of packs that have been

damaged enough to affect the plants inside.  If more

than one pack is ordered at a time then they are sent

together in a cardboard box or jiffy bag, depending

on the size of the order.  

We recommend you open the pack as soon as you get it

and remove the plants then gently water them to help

them recover from the journey.

Orders for other items such as bare root stock, seeds

and plant pots are sent in either jiffy bags, boxes or

envelopes as appropriate.

If the worst happens and your order arrives damaged

in any way please do let us know within 5 days and

we will either replace it or give you a refund.

Beckfield Nurseries has been trading as a Farm Shop and Plant Nursery in Brant Broughton, Lincolnshire for nearly forty years.  We are a family run business and offer customers an affordable and reliable shopping service.  

During the last five years we have started to build the mail-order side of the business and in that time have attracted an increasingly large client base who return time and again.

Our stock changes constantly in tune with the seasons so please add us to your favourites and re-visit us from time to time to see the range of exciting plants and sundries we have on offer.

We aim to dispatch all completed orders within the next 3 working days.  There may of course be the very rare occasion when this isn’t possible but we will always keep you informed about your order.

Our post and packing prices are automatically worked out on the estimated weight of the complete order and you will be given a choice of delivery options during the secure payment process once you have chosen all your items.  

If we find that the p&p costs we incur are considerably less than charged then we will send you a refund for the difference.  We strongly believe in charging fair post and packaging costs.
