Amazing quality

This is the first time I purchased from TAPS and I was so happy with the quality of the plants. It made a beautiful gift for my mum who has been searching for a cardamom plant for so long. I will definitely purchase from them again

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.

Healthy plants and quick delivery.

I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
