What they say...

Visitors to this small nursery will come away, not only with a boot full of grasses but, as Gough practises what he preaches in his magnificent borders, buckets of information on how to plant them.

Marchants Snowdrops

For details of our annual sale, see Events page

Desperate Plea! Boxes!

We spend many hours collecting boxes from a number of sources for you to take your plants home in. It is an enormous help therefore if you can provide your own boxes and moreover a sure way of becoming a favourite customer! Many thanks.

 

Graham's Blog

I promised that I would let all Galanthophiles know, fully fledged or otherwise, whether or not a sale would be held at Marchants this year and I'm afraid the news is disappointing. We have made a decision not to. 

After a run of highly successful February sales here at Marchants, I had been barking on for some time about giving the snowdrops a rest , if only  to recoup some air (the snowdrops that is!). They are sensitive creatures if you push them too far and hate being bullied by greedy nurserymen.

However. Let's look on the bright side. A gap year will give me the chance  to bring the bulk of our collection, held in my Mothers garden at Newhaven (on chalk) 13 miles distant, back to Marchants where beds have been specially created for them over this dry and manageable winter. If all goes well, our beautiful displays will no longer be contained in pots and hopefully you'll be able to see these lovely plants doing there courageous thing in the open ground! All in all , we are hopeful that next years sale (2013) will have the potential to be one of our very best.

For the future, emailing is the most convenient way for us to inform you of our Snowdrop news (sale, availability list,etc.) so do not expect to hear from us ever again via the 'Snail Mail' as it simply isn't going to happen! If you are not on our snowdrop email list, go straightway to our catalogue request page on our website (www.marchantshardyplants.co.uk) and there you will be able to request your interest in snowdrops. Simples!

Do enjoy your Snowdrops this year. It is proving a strange season and the dry weather and wind is sapping their energy. Thankfully, we have had many bright days on which to enjoy them and their condition when freshly opened has been superb.
