Suttons Seeds
Posted in Gardens, Societies on Monday January 28, 2013| Leave a Comment »
A big thank you to Mike R for creating a second opportunity to order discounted seeds from the Suttons catalogue:
With the snow keeping me in doors these last two weeks, my mind has been giving attention to planning the garden for this year. As a paid up member of the Horticultural Society I have been wondering why my Suttons Seed catalogue has not arrived. A visit to my neighbour across the road reveals that the catalogues were given out at the AGM in the Autumn and there are no catalogues left. Further the P&DHS order has already been placed with Suttons and it is too late to include any order from me through the P&DHS!
The good news is that after talking to the organisers at Suttons this morning, they have confirmed to me they are willing to receive an order direct from me on the same terms as the P&DHS and a catalogue is being sent to me by return.
So, if there are any other Parwich gardeners in the same situation as me, puzzling why they have not been given a Suttons Seed catalogue this year, I would be more than willing to help out if they want to contact me and tell me their requirements.
Mike R. tel 390433
NB If you don’t have a catalogue, you can see what is available on-line at the Suttons website, but to get the discount don’t order on-line, rather speak to Mike. Existing orders are not effected by this.
