Frans IJsselstijn:
Dear members

Aberconwy nursery sells A few plants i like to buy from them.
Arcterica nana
Calceolaria fothergilii
Calceolaria uniflora
Ranunculus bilobus
But the don't send to the Netherlands
Is there someone who lives in de neighborhood of Aberconwy nursery and want to buy those plants for me and send them to the Netherlands.

Kind regards
Frans IJsselstijn

Maggi Young:
Maybe someone visiting one of the AGS or SRGC Shows that Aberconwy are due to attend this year  could collect an  order for Frans and post them on to him?   Frans  could order the plants  in advance ....  the  shows Aberconwy are attending this year are listed  here : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=15644.msg387748#msg387748

There are probably hundreds of people on the European mainland and the rest of the world who would very much like to shop there. I'd pay a multiple price for some plants. But unfortunately I have no private contacts to the UK either.

Every time I see the list, I could despair.

Best regards...a concerned person. 😊

Frans IJsselstijn:
Thanks Maggie

If there is someone I order en Pay the plants to Aberconway nursery.
Then i Pay the shipping costs to the sender.

Frans i don't where you like in the nederlands but here's what i did at least 3 times.
I search on low cost airline website the week-end where rates are the lowest, usually you can fly to Manchester (2h from Aberconwy) for 20€ a return trip the same day (Schipol).
I bring an old empty trolley with inside buble plastic, rolls of big tape and zip bags. Once i bought my plants, i remove the soil and pots in front of the airport (yes trust me people look at me, funny) and throw pots in trash can. The substrat on the ground.
I put the plant with label inside zip bags, put all the plants inside the bubbles plastic and voilà :)

I combined orders with 2 friends, so dividing the cost of flight and car parking is very interesting.

If you count flight + parking it surely will cost you less than forwarding plants from UK.
The only constraint is that you can't predict when you'll get your plants and need to often check airlines website, otherwise it's the cheapest method i've found.

I know english peoples doing the same for bringing plants from...nederlands, ahaha  ;D
