Welcome to Busy Baskets 

Now open!

 Coronavirus operating restrictions

Customer numbers allowed onto the Nursery will be limited. Please be prepared to wait patiently in the queuing system. No more than 2 people together. We insist that people wear gloves due to the numerous surfaces you or others may touch that cannot be made safe. We would also be happy to see masks being worn. Social distancing must be observed. There will be a one-way system in place and we request that this is followed. Payment by contactless (£45 or less), or credit/debit card is preferred. No dogs except assistance dogs. We are now unable to accept any further plant orders, keep plants for collection later, or delivery. We are now unable to accept any further orders for hanging basket refills, but will have a selection of ready-made baskets for sale. It is important that we make it a safe and comfortable visit, as well as an enjoyable one for all.

We appreciate that many of you now find yourselves with plenty of time to spend in your gardens but unable to buy plants. To that end we are now taking orders for local deliveries whilst we are able to do so. Our full production schedules are to be found in the section on this website called 2020 plant production and this will give you an idea of what is or will be available over the coming weeks. Please bear in mind that Summer bedding is not frost tolerant so unless you have a greenhouse or similar to grow them in, whilst we can take your orders now we will hold delivery until later when any chance of frost has passed. Who knows, we may even be able to reopen the Nursery before then so collection may then be possible. We would be grateful to receive any orders or enquiries by email. We are short staffed and thus unable to deal with all incoming phone calls during the daytime. Sadly we will have to impose a nominal delivery charge to cover additional costs.

We would like to thank all of you that have contacted us for your kind messages and would only ask that you keep safe and well and we look forward to seeing you all again after this crisis is over.

An independent Plant Nursery tucked away down a quiet lane on the outskirts of Wallingford in Oxfordshire. The business was started 25 years ago and specialises in beautiful hanging baskets for any time of the year. Whether you're looking for a cascade of plants and flowers for the summer or that all important splash of colour to brighten a dreary British winter we've got exactly what you're looking for.

We only use the best quality materials and plants so your basket should see you through the hottest summer or coldest winter. BUT that’s not all… we offer an extensive range of bedding plants, vegetable plants and perennials… there is always something different, always something unusual! This is backed up with knowledgeable advice on hand to help you get the best out of your plants and garden.

As growers we open seasonally times are always on our website.
