50p each Plant Price List for 2011 Slack Top is a small hamlet situated at over 900ft. in the central Pennines, close to the popular tourist spots of Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall. Our nursery and show gardens overlook the picturesque Hardcastle Crags (National Trust) with views to the distant moors. All plants for sale are grown here on the nursery. The majority of the plants listed will be available during 2011, though we shall inevitably sell out of several lines during the season, and several lines will not be ready for sale early in the year. Species of which we hold very small stocks are not listed, so please ask if you have any special requests. A warm welcome and friendly service awaits! Please note: we can only take payment by cash or cheque at the nursery, no cards sorry. OPENING TIMES: Friday, Saturday, Sunday (and Bank Holidays) 10am - 5pm Open from 5 March to 31 August 2011 inclusive.
