Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.

Moving all my plants to this

I have a few plants in these now and am slowly moving all the thirstier ones over as I am super forgetful and an underwaterer. It's so much easier to make sure the pot is always topped up, keeping my calathea's soil constantly moist.

Saving my ferns

Love this clever pot insert, really easy set up of attaching the pipe and little leaf that moves up and down to tell you how much water is left. I struggled to keep ferns alive before but now im constantly checking if the leaf has moved and my plant is very happy.

British-grown plants in a pollinator-friendly courtyard garden with timber seating at a Bristol office
Sprouts of Bristol recently transformed a dull courtyard at Voyageur UK into a lush, butterfly-friendly garden designed to boost both biodiversity and employee wellbeing. Using British-grown plants from a trusted supplier in the Cotswolds, the project features raised timber beds filled with pollinator favourites like Nepeta, Salvia, and Lavender. The newly planted space now offers a peaceful retreat for staff and a welcoming habitat for local wildlife.
