I would be there in a heartbeat to buy. Sure wish there were nurseries in the US like that. Thanks for taking us there.

Amazing! Unfortunately in Italy, we do not have big nurseries putting names of plants... probably they are just hybrids. We have to go to very few specialized nurseries with a limited number of plants. For example, some do not have Regals, some do not have scented leaves, and others have a limited number of zonals... I think this is related to the culture you have about Pelargonium in UK

Such an amazing nursery! If I had a bucket list this place would be on the top. I’m happy to know someone bought Fibrex. I thought it closed its doors forever. Since they are only open for the public one weekend a month I’m wondering if they rely mainly on wholesale and mail order business. Pelargoniums have the cheeriest flower colors! I always feel uplifted when I see them in bloom. I really enjoyed this video and hope to see more like it.

Hi Jane, no wholesale but the mail order is the main driver via the website. You can call in any when you like but just need to call over first. It operates identically to how I used to operate my nursery.

Wow. Wow Wow Wish I could go there. Just placed my 1st mail order with Fibrex.

Hello, excellent channel! I am South American and a fan of geraniums. A few days ago, I wrote to Fibrex about the possibility of them exporting to my country, but I haven't received a response. I am interested in purchasing many plants. Can they export to South America? I have already checked here, and we can receive plants from the UK with a phytosanitary certificate.

[@thepagsociety]

Hi, thanks for your comments. Fibrex won’t export I’m afraid the costs are too great and the work involved with phytosanitary certificates and export controls is also too much for live plants. I would also think that the time it would take to get plants to South America would be too long.

@@thepagsociety What a pity! I understand, thank you very much for responding. Greetings from Chile.

[@debsmith8102]

How do we get some of these in USA??

[@thepagsociety]

Unfortunately you don’t. The US doesn’t allow import of live plant material from anywhere in Europe.
