It’s time to grow your own seedlings!

We use different collection and propagation methods for seeds and cuttings. We recommend that you visit your site to collect seeds at cuttings during either Summer, Autumn and/or Spring (not Winter).  Your Flora Files have information on the best time for seed and cutting collection for the plants on your site.

As well as growing your own plants, you may also wish order extra native plants from specialist native plant nursery. You can order plants up to 12 months in advance (for example, if you would like to order a rare native plant), although a few months ahead is usually enough time.

Please see here and here for a list of suppliers in your local area. We can also help you with your plant order – just get in touch!
