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.

Everyone will have to do whatever they can to slow the spread of this virus. Given the abundance of mis-information available to all, we have taken the view that we should follow the 'official advice' from the government, and stay open until otherwise advised.

This week we received a delivery of spring perennials, grasses and shrubs including bleeding-hearts, hydrangeas and the dark-flowered Geranium phaeum 'Samobor'. Others include:
