Cool Foliage problems
I wonder if anyone can assist. I have just moved to Coventry from Plymouth where foliage was at a premium (didn't appreciate what I had!) with Tregothnan just down the road. Cupressus in particular was everywhere, I used to get it in loose bunches of about half a hedge at a time for silly money. Skimmia by the boatload. Moss by the sack. Now it appears in Coventry I have to order it in piddling little bags of 5 stems a time - surely not. Surely there is a supplier out there who will supply in bulk. I have looked on the web, phone books, everywhere I can think of but to no avail. Any offers of advice?

Talking tregothnan
Yeah they do online but I'm really worried by the time it gets here will it be ok - anyone in the midlands tried that route? I absolutely loved their mixed boxes - unlike veg boxes no nasty turnips! And very easy to deal with. My worry is more things like cuppressus that I need in serious bulk. Oh to be in the land of farms and hedges!!!!

If not I will figure it out - substitution is a grand thing. Just looking forward to opening my front door on the 20th - really began to wonder if I would ever get there!
