SCOTLAND'S NUMBER 1 SUPPLIER OF HANGING BASKETS AND WINDOW PLANTING


1. CAN I CHOOSE THE FLOWERS AND PLANTS FOR OUR DISPLAY?
We always welcome customer input and you can certainly let us know the flowers and plants you would like in your display. However, the choice may be restricted to the plants available and appropriate to the time of year.
2. CAN WE VIEW THE PLANTS THAT YOU OFFER?
Yes, you can visit the nursery or samples and photographs can be brought out to you for perusal. Obviously the displays of our existing customers can also be viewed.
3. HOW OFTEN DO YOU VISIT TO CHECK ON OUR PLANTS?
All our displays are checked regularly and our visits are dependent upon the types of plants being used, the time of year etc. Our displays are advertisements for our company and so we take great care to make sure they are always in top condition. If you have any problems in between our visits, please do not hesitate to contact us.
4. WILL THE BOXES AND BASKETS BE CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME?
Not necessarily. If the plants are thriving there is little point in changing them. However, when plants are becoming past their best, we will replace them to keep the whole display looking fresh.
5. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A WATERING SYSTEM?
Fuller, fresher and more vibrant, colourful planting. The difference between self-watered and system-watered plants is significant. There is also the obvious advantage of not having to worry about watering several times a day during the summer.
6. WHY ARE OUR DISPLAYS SO SMALL?
All our displays are grown from seed. The plants will start off fairly small but within a few weeks will thrive and flourish into much bigger, more impressive displays. The smaller they start, the longer they will last.
7. CAN YOU VISIT AT A TIME TO SUIT US?
If there is a specific problem we would aim to rectify it as soon as possible. We can arrange mutually convenient times to visit, but generally our routine maintenance is done on a regular basis and we try to accommodate all our customers. If there is a time or day that is totally unsuitable we will do our best to visit at a time convenient to you.
8. WHAT OTHER SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?
We provide all general gardening and landscaping services. Please contact us with your requests and we will come to discuss your requirements and arrange a quotation.
9. HOW DO WE PAY YOU?
Our preferred method of payment is by standing order for maintenance contracts. For summer only or outright purchase we would require payment on delivery or 30 days from invoice - as agreed at outset.
