Just wondered ,as it is getting to the time of year when i should be
thinking about buying bulbs, if anyone knows where i can mail order
crocus bulbs from .I'm looking to purchase by the 1000 so i can
completely smother the large areas of grass round our house .We did
a large border down one side of the house last year and it was
spectacular with crocus ,daffs , and tulips.
I've found this site but i am a tad wary about buying from
someone i have never dealt with before /
www.greengardenflowerbulbs.nl/ i would be interested if anyone
could help

Email van Tubergen and see what they can do for you. In those quantities
you should be able to buy wholesale.

i must be being dim or inept but i can't find Van tubergen , i get
Bressingham nurseries and i fail to find spring bulbs at all . i
think i had this bother last year as well .


No, you're not being dim. Bressingham is the British outlet for van
Tubergen and they do a wholesale list, too. They certainly don't seem to
make that info easy to find on the Bressingham web site, I quite agree. It
might be worth you contacting them, asking for the wholesale catalogue of
the Van Tubergen range. It's called The Bressingham Gardens with Van
Tubergen UK Wholesale Bulb & Perennial List. In the Autumn 2006 catalogue
the minimum order value is £150 and they sell bulbs in price ranges from 1
bulb to 1,000 and of course, multiples of 1,000.

It might be cheaper to take an Easyjet or Jet2 flight to Schiphol and buy
direct
in Zuid Holland.

Well, it's a nice excuse for a trip but our experience with the British end
is very good and easy, too. We send off the order and it arrives neatly
packaged and ready for the trowel! ;-) Why add an airfare to the price?!
How does the Euro stand against the £ just now?
