Online sales: Corona virus update #6

5th April 2020: We were told that this would be a marathon, not a sprint. People around the country are wishing they could get some gardening done, but sadly garden centres have shut down along with most businesses.

Corona virus #5: shops now closed

29th March: Following government advice on non-essential travel of more than 2kms and other restrictions that will slow the spread of Corona virus, our three shops are now closed. We will still get to them to keep our beautiful plants watered and tended. Please stay at home and enjoy your gardens as much as you can. When restrictions are over, we will open again and it will still be summer! Some online orders may not be able to be delivered. Any orders received will be put in a queue and will be delivered as soon as it is possible.

Great value plants

27th March 2020 We take pride in selling great value, as well as great quality, Irish grown plants in all three of our shops. Due to the Coronavirus we have seen a huge increase in online orders and we have decided to add a 'Value plants' category to our website. These are perennials, herbs and grasses which are in small pots, are easily shippable and quick to pack for us here.

Corona virus update #4

26 March 2020. Following the announcement from the government, stating that 'stores that supply... tools and supplies that are essential for gardening...' may remain open during the current crisis (providing safe physical distancing measures and hygiene measures are in place) we have decided to close our Monkstown shop (too small) but leave open our shops in Dundrum (Airfield Estate) and Avoca Dunboyne, both of which are much larger.

Corona virus #3

25 March 2020: As of today, our garden centres in Monkstown and Dundrum (Airfield) are closed. We are just clarifying whether our garden centre in Dunboyne Co Meath will remain open. However, our website is still very much alive and well, and we remain in our office to take orders for collection or delivery. So, order online, phone us on 01 2020027 or email us at shop @ howbertandmays. ie. We have literally thousands of fresh, beautiful plants, every garden tool you could desire and many more garden essentials.
