We’d all like to be doing more gardening. But with garden centres closed, it can be difficult to know where to buy plants. The obvious answer is to buy plants online, but many mail order garden plants suppliers have struggled to keep up with demand – and trying to buy compost online can feel like a fruitless quest.
So we’ve scoured nurseries, growers and retailers to find which still have plants available for delivery. Whether you want to buy bedding plants, get some large statement plants delivered or just want to buy compost, you’ll find where to buy them here.
At the time of writing, all nurseries listed below had plants in stock. Most have plants to buy online for delivery nationwide – a few are offering local delivery only, and this is clearly indicated. You can even snap up some cheap plants, as some are offering a discount on stock that was previously allocated for flower shows that have now been cancelled. We’ve also listed places to buy compost online – some are only able to offer compost delivery on bulk orders, but this is clearly indicated. We’ve also listed some great online suppliers of gardening kit, tools and other gardening essentials, so you can get whatever you need delivered direct to your door.
