Plants were healthy and delivered in just a few days . All good experience from start to finish . Great website ----- good info and timely updates on purchase. I have a 23 year old garden and am by the sea with a windy wet climate so gardening is a challenge . Never very cold but always quite wet . Hydrangeas and Berberis along with a handful of other shrubs and perennials survive nicely here so my garden has always brought me many compliments . My recent purchases from you will of course further enhance my garden.

Dead,rotten and unrecognisable plants sent!!! I have received my order and I have never seen anything like this before: dead, rotten, mouldy and unrecognisable plants. This must be some joke or I don’t even know what to call it. There is no way, you can plant them. I just want my money back and someone to collect that stuff, as I am not wasting more money to send those plants back. I already paid more than 120 euro.

The hydrangea you received develops its foliage on the new year's growth and not on the old wood. Plant please what you have received the order is guaranteed 2 months. If you don't see any growth, please contact our customer service department before the end of the 2-month growth guarantee period with photos of the planted products they will be replace (if we have them in stock or refund). Shipping cost to Ireland is about €14.95 and goes directly to DPD courier we do not own money with shipping.

The plant was sick when it arrived. Full of brown spots. Trying to recover it with neem oil treatment now. The rest of the products were fine.

Plants grown outside can sometimes have spots - not a disease, but the result of wind, rain or sun. In nature, plants with immaculate foliage do not exist. Removing the leaves is more effective than treating them, because it's useless: once removed, new leaves will develop.

This was a €40 gift for a new home. Had I known it would be sooo much smaller than pictured I would have bought flowers. No not impressed with the sales technique ;( I did write to customer service but no response yet, instead I'm asked to write a review....

The photos on our website show you always a mature product photographed in summer period. Don't worry, buddleia can grow 30 to 40 cm per season. They're hardy shrubs that make great butterfly magnets.

Tricolour buddleia …

The tricolour plant I ordered turned out to be three small pods presumably comprising the whole 'plant'. I'll have to wait and see how they turn out. I was disappointed in the size for the price too.

Quality Packaging was OK, had some damage to 1 plants leaves another plant had completely came out of its pot, this could also be due to the shipping company used. Package was left wrong way up and we'll shaken about, plant quality is great and exactly as described

Honest appraisal

My order arrived packed into a single box a day later than expected. One of the plants (the Fatsia Japonica) was already slightly damaged and this must have happened at packaging time. Hope it will recover with some necessary "surgery" and some TLC. Was a bit disappointed but due to my age, acquired disabilities and lack of transport, I will need to rely on online gardening websites in the future.

Quick delivery. Of 5 hydrangeas ordered, 3 looked quite robust but 2 were just short stems with only 1 or 2 leaves. Time will tell if they take successfully or not.

Not all the hydrangeas you have ordered are of the same category. Some of the hydrangeas in your order will only grow on the current year's growth. Do not worry the order is guaranteed until the 02/07/2023 they will have plenty of time to grow.

I was a bit disappointed when I got the flowers, I thought they were plants, but they were bare root. A few of the bare roots were dry.

Our site sells plants in various forms flower bulbs, rhizome, roots, plant in pots. It is therefore important to read the description. The roots are always sent dry in order not to develop disease or mold. Most of them need to be soaked in water prior to plant them.

I received 6 plants towards the end of last week 28/04/23 and two of those plants look dead. Last rights wouldn't even save them. I can't understand 12cm pots with a two foot stick coming out of them. 2 sticks in each pot these may be good at a later stage when the plant grows. I understand for packaging etc etc but could be done better. This is not the first time I have received plants from Gardens4You in this state.

Blueberry and rubus doesn't have leaves and can appear dead on arrival, that is the time of year we have -1ºC at night and 9ºC right now in the beginning of May normally in other years the leaves are already out but this year it is very cold. If you scratch away a small section of bark with your finger nail with will see that the bark is green underneath. Once planted the plants will grow normally.

Our plants are cultivated outdoor. We have -1ºC at night and 12ºC during the day, it is very cold for a month of May. Do not worry the order is guaranteed, the leaves will develop later once the tree will be planted.

Good site, with some room for improvement

The information is not consistent. It says Non poisonous and Poisonous in two different places for the same plants. Also the website is scrappy, it signs out automatically after some time and clears the shopping cart. I like to take my time selecting plants after considering several factors. It was annoying to lose all the items in the cart just when you're ready to add another few. Finally, the pricing is inconsistent too in terms of value - some plants are good value, some are overpriced. I'm planting a new largish garden, and wanted to pick up all plants from here to make the most of the shipping price however some were too pricey to consider. Guess I'll have to go to the neighbourhood garden centre for those

Thank you for your feedback. Let's face it, 70% of the plant kingdom contains plants that are poisonous or dangerous if ingested alone. And 70% of these plants are found every day in our homes and gardens without any accident, because this is very rare in the whole world.If your shopping cart is empty it would be necessary to accept the cookies and not to block them check this in your internet browser and in your options.

DPD let this down

It was a good service but when DPD delivered they dumped the box over the garden wall on top of my friends plants damaging some of them and the box was soaking. DPD let this company down.

The shipping cost for Ireland is €18.95 in total we pay €4 per package in addition to the €14.95 and each additional box costs us €18.95. If you group your orders with friends or neighbors these costs are quite acceptable especially if you order 10 trees that will be delivered for €14.95 you won't find cheaper for very good products quality from the Netherlands

I ordered two standard plants and an Astilbe Fiery Red. I received only 2 standard plants was so disappointed as I really wanted the Astilbe. Was told to search box again as it was in cardboard. Searched @nd recycled no luck. Refund given. Two expensive to send Astilbe.

The astilbes were roots in a small bag filled with plastic soil stuck in the fold of the cardboard. Alas the root was not found we refunded the €3,50 rather than sending back a parcel with all the Co2 that this entails. Nature and the environment is something we are sensitive to.

The day your package left an automatic mail announced you the shipment as well as the number of the package (this mail arrived probably in your spam or recycle garbage can). We have not received any mail to date about the order, it is time to take pictures and contact our customer service we will be happy to solve any issue with the order.
