List of Alpine Spring 2021

ABERCONWY NURSERY PRICE LIST: SPRING 2021

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 plants (including some dwarf shrubs, acid loving plants, and ferns) as well as various other interesting plants from time to time. We grow only p lants 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 plant. All plants are offered from the nursery subject to their remaining available .

Plan ts can be ordered in advance for collection at the nursery. A few days notice of collection would be helpful, so that we can collect the plants together, especially if the order is large. There is no need to send payment with the order. Payment can be made on collection. We do not supply plants by mail order.

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 looki ng 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 larg e 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 Viola pedata bicolor making the plants 'soft'.

In normal times, we are able to deliver orders of plants to the many AGS, SRGC and ot her shows that we would usually attend. Unfortunately this option is not available in times of Covid Restrictions. We hope shows and plant fairs will return in the not too distant future. If we know we will be attending any shows or plant fairs this year, we will post the news on our website.
