Garden Centre Open
Finally, after 9 weeks and 1400 free deliveries within the Borders, I’m delighted to be able to tell you that Woodside Plant Centre re-opened on 29th May
We’re very excited at the prospect of having visitors back, and we’re looking forwards to you being able to see the plants for yourselves rather than relying on our descriptions!
We have temporarily extended our opening times to 9am – 6pm daily to allow more time to shop and have put in place various measures for all our safety. You can read our Safety Statement here.
The plant centre is looking amazing, and is full to bursting with plants, pots and compost (a delivery arrived on the 28th – just in time) so there’ll be lots for you to see.
End to Telephone orders and collections.
With the garden centre open, we are no longer accepting telephone orders or car park collections as this simply isn’t possible while being open – we would much rather see you anyway. If you are unable to come in because you are in the vulnerable category, please email me with your phone number so that I can call you back and discuss your requirements. Please note that I’m not often able to get into the office, but I will get back to you as soon as I can. Delivery charges will be applied according to your postcode.
Highlights this week:
Bedding plants – packs of geraniums, plenty of potted begonias, petunias and callibrachoas and packs of nicotiana. The colour themed tub and basket carry packs are back in stock and we’ve also got more Trixies available (3 in 1 plants)
Fruit Trees – more fruit trees are ready this week, including apples, pears, plums and damsons
Compost – Westland have finally delivered to us, and we now have peat free Multi-purpose compost back in stock, as well as Multi-purpose with added John Innes, Alpine Compost and Ericaceous Compost. We also now have Wool Compost back in stock.
Pots and Planters – it’s been rather a challenge selling pots over the phone as you need to be able to see them! Well now you can, and we have a good range of glazed pots as well as the popular Courtyard Range from Errington Reay
Herbaceous Plants – we’ve got a fabulous range of herbaceous perennials ready – most of them grown by us at our nursery site.
Vegetable Plants – we still have some veg plants available, mainly lettuces and leeks, with a handful of courgettes and cucumbers
We are delighted to be able to open again, and look forwards to welcoming you back to Woodside.
Please bear with us while we get used to this new way of operating our lovely plant centre, and we hope that you find your visit both enjoyable and safe. This safety guidance may be updated or changed as we go along, so please keep checking the website or sign up to our emails to see the latest guidance before making a visit. If you have any concerns about safety during your visit please speak to any member of the Woodside team.
Whether you are one of our regular customers or one of our many new customers who ordered from us for the first time during lockdown and enjoyed our free delivery service during that time, we hope to see you very soon.
