I tried to phone Aberconwy yesterday as I could not find an up to date price list. They must have been working on the new site. I hope to be able to order some plants for delivery at a show.

I emailed an order yesterday and got an acknowledgment the same day.

Aberconwy have replied today to say they have most of the plants I want. Excellent service.

I see this and another post are still referring to the AGS Harlow Show; is there something about Theydon Bois I don't know about. Apart from how to pronounce It ;-)

I imagine that this is a case of those long accustomed to the Early Spring Show being the Harlow Show, that they are still referring to it as such** - the Show will be held in the Theydon Bois Village Hall, Coppice Road, Theydon Bois, Essex CM16 7ER
There are details on how to get there on the AGS site, here: https://www.alpinegardensociety.net/shows-events/early-spring-2020/ (https://www.alpinegardensociety.net/shows-events/early-spring-2020/)
** we have such cases in SRGC - the "Stirling" show hasn't been held in Stirling itself for years, and the "Glasgow" show hasn't either!
-
You could be right Maggie, although I think when I first exhibited in that show it was in Brompton Oratory church hall (not sure about date) next to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. Very handy as exhibitors could park in the churchyard, and go to the museums while judging was on. Names often stick when the trophies have it engraved on them.
For visitors Bois is pronounced the same as boys or buoys. There is also a Chesham Bois near me, a wooded area with a road called Great Bois Wood ;-)

Aberconwy Nursery, Glan Conwy, Colwyn Bay, Clwyd LL28 5TL is open for the the season - no mail order so especially worth a visit!!

Aberconwy- who do not usually provide mail order, are in a particularly vulnerable position because of the cancellations of SRGC and AGS shows - so please try to support them wherever possible, as we hope you will do for all our nursery friends - the specialists are ital to our enjoyment of our plant growing passion.
They've posted this note about arrangments for orders already placed to have been collected at the now cancelled shows ....
Aberconwy Nursery
"Hi Everybody,
As expected we have just heard that all the AGS and SRGC shows we were booked to attend this spring and summer have been cancelled. While this is sad it is an entierly understandable decision in the situation we find ourselves in. If anyone has placed an order with us for these shows, please get in touch by phone or email to discuss it. We are still open and will have plenty of nice plants available at our open airy site in North Wales.
On a different note the plants are getting on with things as normal with many starting to look stunning. Hopefully you will find something in the selection below that will cheer you up 🙂"

Went there on Friday and came back with a nice load of goodies! ;D
Fabulous little nursery and always nice to have a chat to Tim.

So happy that we managed the Early Spring show in Theydon Bois so we could pick up some 150 plants for ourselves and for our friends !
Still plenty of them to plant out as the weather seems to be improving. :D ... and no where else to go...or alowed to go anyway !

*New Autumn List is now out*
"The autumn supplement is now out and contains many interesting and unusual alpine and rock garden plants which are available from the nursery this autumn.
We have extended our opening hours up to the end of October this year so potential visitors have the chance to drop by before winter arrives.
If you have a list of specific things that you would like to pick up when you visit, a few days notice is always appreciated to give us the chance to put the plants together before your arrival. (Many items from this years spring list are also available, often in slightly larger sizes than usual, so please ask if you find items of interest.)
With the events we would normally attend in the autumn cancelled, ordering plants for delivery to them is unfortunately not possible, however hopefully this may return as an option by next spring.
We have a lot of beautiful plants at the moment and look forward to welcoming you to the nursery soon!"
