Dried Hop Garlands are approximately 9 feet in length
and will arrive at your door after they have been picked in The Garden
of England and then kiln dried to preserve their shape and colour.
They will arrive individually packed in a box, with hanging instructions.

Delivery
Once delivered please follow our instructions carefully.
They have been gleaned from many years of experience, and if followed,
will make arranging the hops much easier.
A hop garland is a natural product and will arrive at your door, dried immediately
following harvest in the hop garden. This means that one end of the garland
is the top with more hops on, and the other is the bottom, that has more leaf
and stalk. To create a nice even garland, the best displays have been cut and
trimmed to fit.
It is important to remember, there will always be some waste and petal drop
as you handle the garland. Always put down a protective covering on the floor
before you start as the lupulin that sheds during handling is extremely difficult
to remove from floors and surfaces. However, once the garland is in situ, it
should not shed of its own accord. If you need more advice, please do contact
us, particularly if you have not handled hops before.
Lifetime
Hop garlands are traditionally displayed for a year,
and replaced with a new garland each harvest. Direct sunlight will accelerate
colour loss but the hops fade to a soft harvest cream colour gradually
over the year.
Remember hops are a dried product and will be very fragile so should be placed
away from any physical contact.
