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.
The most unprofessional experience I've ever had. Received plants in spring that were supposed to be plug plants, young specimen but were obviously very old and had bern kept in the pots a year too long and had gotten woody. They were nothing like the sane type of plabt i had previously recieved from them. I couldn't plant them so I asked to return for a refund and they were not forthcoming eventually they agreed. I told they they could puck up the plants as I needed to buy new ones. They said they couldn't afford to pick them up. I placed an order this week, they cancelled it twice without any correspondence and when I enquired I got a nasty letter from them telling me they wouldn't sell to me because I forced the guarantee, demanded a refunding and kept the products. I used the guarantee this offer and now they have blacklisted me. The email and all the transactions have been poorly eroded and very unprofessional

Begonia tubers arrived Begonia Pendula. I have seen bigger marbles and some as soft as butter. I would suggest tighter quality control. and a photo of not only the plaint in bloom but a photo of the tubers.
Not impressed at all.

Ordered 2 items and when they arrived they were tiny, they would get lost in the garden. The stake was even taller than both. No where close to items advertised online. Delivery charge I thought was excessive. Disappointed in general, I would look elsewhere next time.

We are in winter it is -4ºC in Northern Europe we have 4 seasons you seem to forget. Our plants are cultivated outside all year round, you will not find plants cultivated in heated greenhouses or imported like you find in supermarkets. The items are in perfect condition and are identical to the measurements and sizes advertised on our site for these products. The wooden rods are not the stake of the plants, we put them in the boxes to avoid that the plants do not move.

We are sorry to read your disappointment via your comment we cannot find any mail from you in our system. You had ordered a Euonymus alatus Burning Bush which is a plant still dormant in winter and some Saponaria ocymoides Soapwort roots. We are surprised to read that a problem has occurred on these products, especially the roots which are like our plants well packed. Please take some photos of these products and contact our customer service we will be happy to solve the problem.

My delivery was dumped over the wall and the pot was smashed.
The delivery person should have rang the doorbell and delivered it to the front door instead of throwing it over the wall.

This incident from an unscrupulous delivery person is regrettable and we called the dpd depot in Ireland immediately. We would have preferred to stay on the positive side and have you talk about the replacement that we have arranged as our orders are 100% guaranteed. The star you left will not lower dpd's rating on Trusted Shop but ours which we regret. You could have at least waited for our feedback and responsiveness before leaving a comment of this nature.

Very disappointed
My 9 Erica carneas should have been multicolored but I received almost all of them white which is not what I ordered. In addition they are in very bad condition and extremely small. I could have booth a much better quality elsewhere. Extremely disappointed and will probably not use again.

What would have been gorgeous plants in bad shape when they arrived
The plants took along time to come. When they arrived they were dried out and all over the boxes. Some of them were broken beyond repair due to poor transportation

According to the photos received the 2 small plants have been damaged in transit what we sincerely regret but these 2 plants can still be saved. A full refund have been made €16.90 for those 2 plantes. We also gave you a refund of €2.84 for the Areca palm (in order to buy some new potting soil, what we think is honest and fair) the plant lost a little bit of soil but which does not show any damage on your pictures despite your insistence to get a full refund, which we regret because as we have informed you our indoor plants are always guaranteed for 2 months and you can always come back to our customer service in case of a problem with an article.

After your email from this weekend we came back to you this morning Monday. As we saw it the plant has obviously suffered from the cold and the 4ºC we had here in Holland. Alocacia polly are beautiful plants but sensitive to the cold the large leaves are made of 80% water and plant fiber, since it was not possible to replace the plant due the cold we have arranged the refund €11.95.

Your last complaint about the lavender was unfounded. We asked you to wait at least 2 months in order to see the growth of these plants which for a scorching summer with more than 30ºC were not in the catastrophic state that you described. You refused to wait and refused to return the merchandise and therefore openly contested our guarantee as well as the terms and conditions of our site that you had accepted (strange when the plants were guaranteed for 1 year, i.e. until 08/06/2023). You forced a refund of €28.50 not to mention the threats of leaving negative reviews all over the net and on your blog that talks about plants.
We assume 100% our choice and wish you good luck for your purchases on the net but especially to the competition that will welcome you.

I ordered geraniums and I received a dead brown floppy plant. When contacting the customer service about it, they were unwilling to replace the plant or refund me.

As informed Geranium are summer plants when you order them end of October beginning of November the plant do non longer exist at the level of the ground which is normal for plants cultivated in accordance with the seasons since our plants are cultivated outside all the year we do not sell plants cultivated under heated greenhouses. The roots are alive the plant will start its cycle again in mid-April it is important to plant it with complete soil and to protect the top of the soil with a mulch or dead leaves.
Your comment is unfortunately untrue because you also asked for a full refund of the order which included 2 Gaultheria Procumbens, 1 aubrietia, 1 rhododendron and 1 geranium for a total amount of €45.50 including shipping. The fact that you don't know the plants is not a problem in itself we are here to provide you with all the explanations you need and our assistance. However, the fact of denigrating a company, its customer service or a product by the only lack of knowledge is not good, as a reminder, the 4 seasons in Europe are part of the plant cycle.
