It’s hard to believe that the time for thanking our customers and wishing them happy holidays has already rolled around again! Every year seems to fly by faster than the last one.
Even though we do our best to provide good service and quality plants, the unflagging and enthusiastic support for our little nursery – through bitter winters, drought or weeks of torrential rain – never ceases to amaze me. It makes all our hard work so worthwhile. Thank you!
The Petal Faire team wishes everyone a happy and restful festive season, and a productive 2026.
We will be closed on Sundays for the rest of the year, as well as on 24 and 25 December, and 1 January.
