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.
