Extended Validation is the most recognisable sign of online security, preferred by 93% of online shoppers.

Description of Goods

We take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of plant and products appearing either on the website or instore are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

We will continually improve the goods, so changes to them may be made at any time. We will use reasonable commercial endeavours to keep the website and instore information up to date but the information and specifications given are for your information only and are subject to change without notice. Pictures on the wesite are generally accurate but variations in colour, shape and size must be expected.

The plants on our website are living products so any photographs show the average plant of that size and type that you would expect to receive. Please note that depending on the time of year, some plants may not be in flower or fruit, or have leaves.

 

Plant Guarantee

Here at Clifton Nurseries we are confident in the quality of the plants that we offer. As a result we offer a 1 year guarantee on hardy trees, shrubs and perennials.  Biennials and annuals (plants that naturally do not live for more than one year or typically do not survive an average British winter) are not included in this guarantee. 

Our plant guarantee does not cover plants that have clearly not been watered sufficiently or have been left in their pots for extended periods of time without due care and attention. Our plant guarantee also does not cover damage from out of the ordinary exceptional weather conditions such as extreme heat or unseasonably early or late freezing cold conditions. 

Our plant guarantee does not cover against natural pests and diseases which can affect some plants at any time. For example, Buxus sempervirens (common box) commonly suffers from Buxus Blight (an airborne fungal infection) and Buxus Caterpillar (a pest which eats the leaves). Whilst we ensure that all our Buxus plants are sold in healthy condition, we cannot be responsible for pests and diseases once the plants have left our nursery. 

If you are unhappy with the condition of any plant we have supplied, please take a photograph and email this to us with details of when you purchased it. If we agree that it is covered by our plant guarantee, we will willingly supply either a replacement or a refund.
