The Ministry Of Agriculture has sent out notice informing the public that commencing December 1, 2023, payment for the purchase of plants at the Ashenden Propagating Station must be made exclusively at their closest government treasury and revenue offices.
Consequently, the existing payment system for the purchase of plants every Thursday at the Ashenden Propagation Station will cease from December 1, 2023.
REPORT:
Customers are advised that prior to proceeding to make payments for the purchase of any plant, individuals must first contact the propagation stations to confirm the availability of plants.
The release also stated that payments made without prior confirmation are non-refundable.
