Harrowden Turf has launched its second new initiative to support the horticulture sector in as many weeks. “Let’s Build A Garden” was designed to encourage family-wide engagement in thinking about and making the most of a home’s outside space. 

The company also recognises that many traditional retailers in the sector have been adversely affected by coronavirus restrictions. Harrowden Turf is looking to offer its “Dropship” or home delivery solution which enables retailers to continue to service customers via telephone or online orders which will be fulfilled directly by Harrowden Turf using its well-established no-contact direct to home delivery service.

“There is currently significant interest in home-improvement projects and with the improved recent weather the garden is no exception. Harrowden Turf’s “Dropship” service gives retailers the ability to continue to sell turf and other landscape products without holding stock or otherwise being involved in fulfilling that order”

“We have a well-established no-contact direct to home delivery service which can enable you to continue to provide ongoing service to your loyal customers whilst generating some much-needed revenue.  This is very straightforward to set up and administer.”

Whilst supporting retailers they would like to reassure you about ordering from Harrowden Turf during the COVID-19 outbreak. As a business, their priority above all is to keep their staff and customers safe. They are following the expert advice of the Government, Public Health England and World Health Organisation to make the necessary changes to their business to ensure everyone stays as healthy as possible.

Nearly all office staff are working remotely from home but the important work that can only be completed at their farms means that some staff are travelling to work as normal but they have adopted strict hygiene and social distancing protocols to protect both them and customers safety.      

Their carefully selected delivery partners have introduced “no contact” delivery procedures in order to protect their drivers and their customers as much as possible. They are currently able to operate a normal home delivery service.
