We ensure your Seed Garlic will arrive in good time for planting and aim to dispatch Seed Orders from Late-September onwards.
PLEASE NOTE: If ordering Seed Products and Non-Seed Products together your entire order will NOT be dispatched until your Seed Products are ready. (If you require Non-Seed Products sooner, please place two separate orders - one for Seed and one for non-Seed products).
SEASONAL PRODUCE: If you order Green Garlic, Plaits, or any other seasonal Fresh Garlic in the same order as your Seed Products, your entire order will NOT be dispatched until your Seed Products are ready. This means that any ‘green’, ‘new season’ or ‘fresh’ produce will be supplied as ‘dried’ produce and may have to be substituted for a suitable alternative product that is available at the time of dispatch.
