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.

We are sorry about what happened and we mentioned it to you. We know that on the 2 orders sent packages that were bundles (several boxes attached together) were separated and lost by dpd. We have after investigation with the carrier as soon as possible replaced and refunded what could not be shipped anymore. It's a pity that your commentary doesn't mention this at all.

As we are based in the Netherlands, our site recommends that you keep an eye on your mailbox as automatic messages often arrive as spam if you have an antivirus.

After shiping delivery to Ireland is about 4-5 working days weekend and bank holidays not included. We were closed on April 27/04/2023, a holiday celebrating the King of Holland's birthday as indicated on our website. Your order with hyacinth arrived today 02/05/2023.

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.

Not great...you'll probably have to order 30% more than you need

I ordered circa 90 Stipa pony tails...they arrived promptly and I planted them within 48 hours. A couple weeks on and 25 have died. I've sent 2 emails to customer service asking if they can be replaced as explained on the website, but have not even received a reply. Beware to buyers that you may have to buy 30% + extra to account for plants that die...and don't expect their customer service to actually support or even engage with you.

Our last email conversation was a month ago and concerned lavenders. You have never contacted us for anything else except the first order which we sent back at our expense because you gave us an incomplete order as well as the wrong city.

Buy but no delivery or response from business..

I placed an order on the 10 April. Upon payment invoice stated I would receive order within four days. After four days elapsed and my order was not delivered , I sent an email enquiring when the order will be delivered. I got a response stating that a ticket has been issued to follow up someone would contact me shortly. I was also told to be patient and that gardens 4you were very busy, and sending emails would only delay issue being resolved. After two days I still had nobody contacting me. Now a week later and still no phone call email, or order delivery. What a shame if businesses treat paying customers as if they are actually more of an inconvenience and treat them in such a condescending way. I shall rather pay more and support local village nursery

You contacted our customer service department on the weekend when we were closed, sending multiple emails of frustration and saying things you must regret. We came back to you immediately informing you that the package was on its way but that you could still refuse it. The package was accepted the next day 18/04/2023 since you tried everywhere to make us wrong and to obtain the refund of this order via Trusted shops by pretending not to have received any answer from us, we will report you and provide Trusted shops with the evidence of our conversations by emails

Leave a negative comment when your package left normally after the long Easter weekend and arrived on 18/04/2023 has no sense. Our site indicated the resumption of shipments from 11/04/2023 by order of arrival in our system an automatic mail with tracking had been sent to you.

To leave a negative comment when the restrictions on certain products on our site come directly from the Irish government is not honest on your part because this decision does not belong to us. Many invasive plants are no longer allowed to be exported to your destination it is not a choice of our company but a local decision.

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.

Scam! This company have a 100% guarantee email, which they send after you order. It is a total scam. I complained about my plants arriving smashed and was completely ignored. They then cancelled the rest of my orders with no explanation or reason. When I enquired, they accused me of being aggressive. Terrible company.

You have in the past during the covid crisis in 2020 sent threatening, aggressive and intimidating emails that we do not wish to publish here as your comments are indecent. You are now automatically reimbursed for your new orders since we no longer wish to welcome you. We sincerely wish the competition good luck in welcoming you.

Rude, unprofessional, incompetent

Rude, unprofessional, and totally incompetent; the worst customer experience I've ever had - I emailed them to ask what was happening with my order, as they had sent a tracking link which didn't work. I received a blunt, garbled email informing me that my order had been dispatched to the wrong country. This was 6 days after I'd placed the order and the day before my mother's birthday. When I said I was disappointed, I received the rudest email I've ever had from a customer service team, which also didn't accept any accountability.

Your package was mistakenly directed to Germany by dpd the carrier which we regret. In the meantime you have been reimbursed and the package was later delivered to Ireland. We do not read any rudeness in our emails, you have been appalling with our customer service in your tone and form since your first email. Our responses are below: Good afternoon, Thank you for your email. For some unknown reason the package 05162019066846 has been directed to Germany by dpd. We don't know yet why we will check with the carrier. Unfortunately the pot Alice Ocean 14 cm is no longer in stock, we cannot resend a new order. So that we can make the refund as soon as possible thank you kindly confirm the complete delivery address in order to proceed to the usual verification. Apologies once again, Sincerely yours The customer service Good afternoon, ​ Despite your disappointment this error has nothing to do with our company the package was sent to Germany by dpd (loading error) we had printed on the package the correct address. We ship to 22 countries in Europe, everything is automated our customer service does not follow the thousands of packages shipped every day, it is impossible, we give each customer the possibility to track their package in real time. The refund is in process.

Not delivered to correct address, completely different postcode. Had to chase down and couldn't find and got redelivered by recipient which it was wrongly delivered to. Also looks nothing like picture shown, not one rose in bloom which I think should be mentioned before buying

Thank you for your feedback. it is with regret that we learn of dpd's delivery error. If you had informed us we could have sent the driver to collect the package and deliver it to you.
