AN independent houseplant seller in Penrith has announced that they will be closing down soon. 

Elliott's Plants, on Angel Lane, posted the announcement on social media with the addition of a closing down sale. 

The 40 per cent discount on products from the houseplant supply store began on Tuesday, August 29. 

In a post on social media, owner Elliott Dumbarton, said: "I'm sad to announce that Elliott's Plants will be closing down soon. 

"It's been fantastic these last few years and I have loved meeting everyone who's come to buy or talk about plants, but the last year has been extremely difficult for the high street and independent shops. 

"I'd like to give a big thanks to my mum and dad for helping me and looking after the shop over the last year. 

"All plants left in the shop will have to go and I would love it if you could give some of the remaining plants a home. 

"Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last few years, it's been a pleasure," he said.
