We’ve spent two decades developing the best way to send our unique gifts and have devised not only the best-looking and most original packaging but also the cleverest and most secure, ensuring that all our plants arrive in perfect condition however far they have to travel.

Each and every one of our plants is hand packed to order by our talented team. Plants are carefully cocooned in wood wool within a sturdy wooden crate and sealed with wax paper. They are packed so that it shouldn't matter which way the box is turned.

The lid is secured and tied with large raffia bows, to which we attach a tag with your personal gift message. The crate is popped into a smart cardboard box for collection in the evening and is swiftly couriered overnight for delivery the very next day.
