Can anyone tell me where in the wholesale trade I could access these please?

Well theres nowt as queer as folk! A good Yorkshire saying that sums this up Scotkat.Your client wants laurel leaves why ? They look awful as they die back and once dead become extremely brittle and will break into small pieces.
If determined to pursue this then sure anyone trimming a large laurel would happily donate the leaves undoubtedly there is someone out there on e bay making a fortune from such things , but I for one never met anyone wanting to purchase them.

I reckon your client should 'source' them him/herself! What a strange request! Tell her/him that they will poison the plants or something and use something more usual!

Well Scotkat think the answers you received explain why - no one wants to buy them generally cant give them away.Theres a whole range of things to use if client doesnt want bark from slate to coloured rubber even glass beads the list is amazing but laurel leaves ?
