Excellent for exhibition and for culinary purposes. Long, smooth-skinned roots with considerable resistance to canker. An essential part of your Sunday roast! Specially recommended. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.
Heritage Seed Variety, 1929 packet details - An admirable Parsnip which increases in popularity every year. Not quite so large as our Student, but more perfect in form, of the finest quality, with a clear and smooth skin. We consider this to be the best Parsnip in existence.

Please note our Furniture is Curbside delivery only, means that the shipper will bring the package to your address, pull the truck up to the front of your house, load the pallet(s) onto the lift gate on the back of the truck, lower the lift, and push the pallet(s) onto the path or driveway in front of your house.
If there is not an incline or stairs leading to your house, they may wheel the pallet(s) to your door if the driver can facilitate this.
The nature of Bulky deliveries means they are too heavy for one delivery person to haul up an incline or upstairs, and it will be your responsibility to bring the item inside. It is also your responsibility to unpack the item, completing any necessary assembly, and disposing of the pallet.
Please note that the delivery of our garden furniture and bulky items will be handled by Langan Couriers. It is important to be available to receive your order and remain accessible by phone within the estimated delivery timeframe of 2 to 5 working days.
You can track your order with Langan here: https://langancouriers.com/tracking/
