Visiting us.....Only By Appointment

Please understand...you are very,very welcome at our Nursery and Garden........but only after contacting us.

Visiting is possible throughout the Year...but ofcourse when you want to see the Saxes in flower....the best time is to visit us on the OPEN SAXIFRAGA DAYS....each spring in March and April....or by early flowering even in Februari.

But you are also welcome any other Month you wish......if you want to know more about the Saxes it can be a good start and idea to make an appointment when it's not so busy......but ofcourse that's up to you.

***So visiting is possible....but after contacting us.***


         


Mail Order...how it's done....

Please read before ordering or visiting

At First.....We are NOT an 'Normal' Nursery......with a Big Stock!........we are a small very,very specialized Porophyllum Nursery,trying to keep over 600 Saxifrages in Stock!......all in small numbers... just 2 or 3 of an item,or 10 or 11...but always just a Few...Please keep that in mind an do not be dissapointed when Saxes are Sold out.

We grow our Saxes in an 'Old Fashioned' Way...without fertilizer and giving them the time to grow in the Right way....slow!.....so we can sell you hardy and reliable plants......wich have a better chance in our Rock Gardens. So it takes some time for our Saxes to grow...and that's why sometimes a Saxifraga is not available on short notice.

Lees AUB het volgend voor je Bestelt of ons bezoekt

Allereerst.......Wij zijn geen grote kwekerij die er een grote voorraad op na houdt!.......we zijn een zeer gespecialiseerd klein kwekerijtje die probeert om meer dan 600 verschillende Saxifraga's uit de Porophyllum groep te vermeerderen en op voorraad te houden.....en dit in kleine aantallen......dus soms slechts 2 of 3 van een bepaald soortje,of 10 a 11.....maar nooit in grote aantallen dus....houdt dit bij het bestellen in gedachten zodat je niet teleurgesteld bent als een bepaalde Sax niet meer aanwezig is.

Een ander belangrijke reden is.....wij kweken onze planten op een 'Ouderwetse' wijze.......zonder groei en meststoffen.......op een natuurlijke wijze...dus..langzaam!...zodat ze de tijd  krijgen om op te groeien als afgeharde,compacte Saxjes die een betere kans hebben te overleven in onze laagland Rotstuinen.  Dit is dus de voornaamste reden dat een bepaalde Saxifraga soms een tijdje niet op voorraad is.

 


HOW TO ORDER         

For many people who can not visit our nursery,or visit us on a plantmarket,our Mail-order service is a very good alternative.   You can simple order plants by letting us know wich Saxifraga's you want.

The best way is ordering by E-Mail,please push the mail-order button on this page and send us a list with the names of the Saxifraga's you want,and when you want to receive the plants. We always will send you an confirmation E-mail.  Ofcourse it's possible to order by phone or letter.


SUBSTITUTES          

Please understand we are a small and specialized Nursery with,many,many different Saxes in Stock.  So some Saxifraga's are in small numbers especially the 'Most wanted' and the 'difficult' to propagate ones. In our Catalogue we try to keep the stocknumbers up to date,but it's always wise to give enough substitues when you order by letter.

If you order by E-mail we always mail you back wich one are in stock or sold out,and we can have contact about substitutes or not.


PAYMENT AND ORDERING         

Ordering and sending plants is always a matter of trust......we trust you,and you....must simply trust us. If we send you the plants you asked for we trust you to send us the money,and otherwise when you send your money along your order by letter you can be sure we will send you the plants.

Please understand we only accept CASH or Payment by BANK.  

Cash; Please send your money by registered letter,it's a very good and rather safe way to pay.   Many customers before did so and untill now it never went wrong,but offcourse it's always on your own risk.   

Bank; It's also possible to pay us by Bank by using IBAN and BIC number,ask your bank for details.   If you want to pay by bank,please let us know and we will give you our IBAN and BIC number.


Post and Packaging Costs

We always send the Saxifrages by registered mail,so you must sign for them by delivery,it has been proven to be a fast and safe way to send out.  We only send out on Monday or Tuesday,so the plants can reach you before the weekend.  Sending out by registered mail is 99% delivery in 4-5 days.   Please understand that you van not hold us responsible for Post-failure!........if plants are to long 'on the road' it's ofcourse not very good for their health!     They way we send out must be allright for at least 1-8 days.

Registered mail is going by weight,so for small orders 1- 10 plants we charge you 10 €uro post and packaging.    For 10-40 plants we charge you 15 €uro Post ans Packaging.

For every 20 plants more we charge you 5 €uro extra.

So for example when you order 50 plants you must count 20,- for post and packaging,when you order 65 plants,cost will be 25 €uro.

So in fact,...small orders are more expensive to send out.


       


The way we send our Saxes to you............

  We send our plants without soil,the roots wrapped in spaghnum and put into a seal-bag. This has proven to be a very good and save method. And with the litlle weight it's possible to order a lot of plants against low costs!

We just send out small Saxes,it's much better for the re-grow.  So if you are Not used to handle small plants,please let us know.

Or in Pot.................

It's also possible to receive the plants in their Pot!,...ofcourse this is more expensive because it's going by weight.  For example,when you order 50 plants the costs will be approximately 30,- €uro for post and packaging.   Ask us for more and exact details if you want your Plants in Pots.

************

Houdt a.u.b in de gaten dat we alleen kleine planten versturen!,dit is veiliger en beter voor de hergroei.  Als je dus niet zo heel ervaren bent met Alpine-planten laat het ons dan even weten voor advies.

We versturen ook planten in Pot,dit gaat per gewicht,contact ons voor meer gegevens als u de planten liever in pot toe gestuurd wilt hebben.

Sending Plants without Pots.........

       

Or..........

Sending Plants in Pots..........

       

So...ordering Saxifraga's by Post is a good,easy and safe way to become the proud owner of many beautiful 'Rockdiamonds'!
