We are still trying to offer a home delivery service, however we have been inundated with requests so please bear with us
It is currently taking around a day for us to get back to you regarding your order. Thank you for your patience.
We are sold out of compost. We are expecting a delivery on Tuesday 14th but we already have a long waiting list for this. We may get one further delivery next week. After that we don't know when it will be available.
We charge £3 for delivery. Orders over £20 are delivered free of charge.
Please contact us by email if at all possible: sales@millthorpe-nursery.co.uk and include as much detail as possible about what you are after, including your address.

How to make your request
If you would like to have anything delivered please contact us by email if at all possible.
Our email address is
sales@millthorpe-nursery.co.uk
We would prefer if you did not make requests by telephone or Facebook message as these are harder for us to keep track of.
Please could you also include your address. Currently we are looking at deliveries within a 3-5 mile radius of the nursery.

Once we have your request
Orders are being dealt with as fast as possible, but it is often taking up to a day to get back to people. We are dealing with orders in the evening as we are still busy potting and watering and tending to our lovely plants throughout the day. So again, please bear with us.
We will get back to you by email with the availability and cost of the items you have asked for.
Delivery is free for orders over £20. Below that we are charging £3 for delivery.

Following the Prime Minister's announcement this evening the nursery will now be closed until further notice.
Thank you for all your support over recent weeks - it has really been appreciated. Look after yourselves and your gardens.

It's been lovely to see so many of you at the nursery this week (from a safe distance of course!) and to hear how you're getting by in these challenging times.
So with Mother's Day approaching we thought it would be good to spread some extra cheer around. Come and buy a pot of tulips for mum and take one for yourself free to brighten your day too!
A little thank you from us to you for all your support.

Given the current situation we can confirm that the nursery will remain open for the time being as it is entirely outdoors with plenty of space for parking and for customers to maintain a social distance.
We are both well, busy potting and would love to see a friendly face. Let's brighten our lives with colour over the coming weeks and months!

Today we're all set up and ready to go at 1st Totley Scouts Spring Craft Fair. There are lots of fantastic stalls and lovely spring colour to bring a smile to your face.
All proceeds are going towards the rebuilding of the Scout hut, which is used by over 140 local children and is in a severe state of disrepair.

Here's a little Valentine's Day present for you all. Now you can make yourselves a cup of tea and coffee to enjoy as you wander!
Cups and stirrers are compostable so feel free to help yourself and enjoy the day.
(a small donation towards costs would be appreciated)

It's the New Year and we're back open again. Weather is pretty rubbish, very blowy and rainy, but we've got lots of jobs to be getting on with to get ready for the season ahead. You can't stop the plants when they need to be potted!
And here we are celebrating with a Belgian Bun.
If the season goes well we might even be able to afford one each next time!

Barlow Open Gardens is today! Lots of lovely gardens to explore and admire, and the sun is shining too. We're opposite the Tickled Trout so do pop by and say hello!
Just received this fantastic picture of a customer's garden that we helped with last year. The planting is really maturing now and the tulips are simply wow! Loving the variegated perennial wallflower Erisymum 'Stars and Stripes'
as well, with its pastel purple flower spikes.
Very pleased to be asked to have a stall at the first Holmesfield Local Market on the 18th May. Only eight sleeps till the big event!
We'd love to see you and perhaps tempt you with something for your garden. We'll be outside the front of The Angel from 10am till 2pm.
Please come and say hello.
