Lee has some impressive new stock freshly imported from Japan. These will be available for sale from Saturday 6th April 0830 to 1700 and Sunday 7th April 1000 to 1600.

Due to quarantine restrictions, Junipers, Pines, and Chamaecyparis are subject to a minimum three month inspection but can be reserved with a 50% deposit until they are released.

The nursery will be closed until 6th April due to inspections.

Unfortunately, the nursery is unable to provide toilet facilities on the open weekend.
