Every plant is carefully packed by our small, plant-loving Bristol team using protective, mostly plastic-free packaging.
Occasionally, you may find reused bubble wrap – this has been donated to us, and we encourage you to reuse it too.
Orders are usually packed and dispatched within 2–4 working days. We may occasionally delay dispatch during periods of extreme weather to protect your plants. We always prioritise plant health over speed of delivery.
Delivery is £4.99 for any number of items, or free on orders over £60. We deliver across the UK only.
We also offer local, bike-powered delivery in Bristol for £4.99 via Pedal Collective, a gentler option for plants and the planet.
We believe in paying people fairly, that’s why we’ve been a Real Living Wage Employer from the very beginning. We’re an independent Bristol business, packing every order ourselves.
Supporting us means supporting fair work.

Add a Pot & Care Essentials
Most customers add a pot or soil when purchasing this plant.I have various insect hotels already but after learning that it is best to have replaceable 'chambers/cells' for the bees to reduce diseases, I have found it tricky to find one. That was until finding beevive one which you could build yourself and then the tubes can be replaced each year if they did not hatch. I have lots of mason bees, so I am eagerly awaiting them to find this new nest site. It would make a super fun gift as you can build it - which my partner enjoyed doing for me.
