Palmstead Nurseries

I have been dealing with Palmstead for some 15 years now. The staff are always available for genuine horticultural advice and are very hands on with all of the plants they stock. There are "sciency" guys to give help with problems and, most importantly honesty and integrity about their stock, they are very upfront about imports and plant health. The stock list is so vast it cannot be beaten on quality and availability. The Website is very easy to use for those long nights in the office. The Cash and Carry will go that "extra mile" to accommodate difficult situations and have proved invaluable in my success within the industry. Palmstead support me in my work and I would not buy anywhere else! BTW the coffee is good too!
