Saith Ffynnon means 'Seven Springs' or 'Seven Wells' in Welsh. We live on a spring-line between limestone and neutral loam near the North Wales coast, and hence have a moist and gentle climate where we grow lots of wildlife gardening plants - from butterfly-attracting flowers to coloured willows to feed caterpillars that feed birds and bats. We have 8 acres where there is a wildflower meadow, butterfly garden, natural ponds and woods, and also the National Collection of Eupatoriums. We are not a garden centre that is normally open to visit - but you are welcome to contact us for an appointment to come and see the gardens and wildlife projects; we will also be having an open day on 6th and 7th. September 2008 when the Eupatoriums and the butterflies should be at their best (weather permitting!); free entry with homemade teas, plant sales and guided tours to benefit the local branches of the National Council for the Consevation of Plants and Gardens as well as Butterfly Conservation.

Hi Jan,
Plants arrived safely this morning. Thank you very much for all your help. I look forward to obtaining further supplies in the future.
Kevin.
Good morning Jan,
Thanks ever so much for the packet that you sent me - seeds and literature. I actually had 16 species in my garden on July 17th this year. I have an acre but 1/2 is natural grassland which attracts the likes of C.Blue, Small and Essex Skippers, Ringlet, M.Brown etc. Fingers crossed for a healthy patch of Eupatorium in a couple of years.
You're wonderful.
will keep you infomed,
Edmund
Dear Jan,
Recieved plants at 8:00am Weds. No damage at all. Lovely little plants. Have got some bagged farmhouse manure to dig in before planting at the weekend. I will send pictures to you in 3 years when hedge is fully grown, I hope ! :) Many thanks.

Dear Jan,
Two beautiful buckthorns arrived safely today in superb condition. They are lovely, healthy plants with very well developed roots; now heeled in ready for planting tomorrow, one in the new little village community wildlife garden and one in our own little garden. We do see yellow brimstones in this village, and perhaps one fine day we may have the thrill of eggs laid on our new buckthorns !
I am so delighted with the quality of your plants, the low price, the careful packing and your surprising speed of delivery, just thank you so, so much.
Thank you too for enclosing the Butterfly Conservation literature which is particularly useful because I've been out of touch for a long time. I'll certainly be joining in the Moth Count.
Best wishes, Graham Beaumont
