ABERCONWY NURSERY PRICE LIST: SPRING 2015

We are pleased to provide you with a copy of our new spring price list. This list cancels all previous lists. We hope that you will find something of interest. We grow alpines & rock garden , including some dwarf , acid loving plants, and ferns as well as various other interesting plants from time to time. We grow only plants that we like and find interesting, and tend not to be constrained by categories!

All of our plants are grown on the nursery site, sometimes in small numbers per variety. As a result the stock situation can change suddenly. Some listed items can sell out quickly and unlisted varieties often become available throughout the year. Most of our plants are offered in 6cm to 9cm pots as appropriate for the needs of the . All plants are offered ex nursery subject to their remaining available. Prices given in the list refer to the smallest size normally offered. Larger plants may sometimes be available at different prices.

We do not supply plants by mail order. However, we will be attending quite a number of Alpine Garden Society, Scottish Rock Garden Club and other shows and can bring plant orders to them (see summary at the end of ). Please place orders a week or two in advance of the show if possible.

Please ask if you cannot find what you are looking for. We have extensive growing areas beyond the sales area, and not all of our stock is out on display to customers at any one time. If you are looking for a number of specific plants in the list, it can save a lot of time if you send your list to us a few days before your visit, so that we can assemble the available plants from the far reaches of the nursery site for you. If you are travelling from a distance to collect specific plants, please ring to check current availability, as some items can sell out very quickly, especially at the start of the season. We have a large, covered 'Alpine Tunnel' with net sides, in which we can grow and display a large number of alpines. This serves to protect the plants (and our customers) from the extremes of wind & rain to which our site is prone, without making the plants 'soft'.
