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.

Received 20 plants,10 had brown spot and 5 were wilted and in poor health. I didn't expect to have sick plants sent to me. This brown spot didn't happen over night in the box. All the roots had completely outgrown the pots they were shipped in, although these did look healthy, they should have been in the ground with roots that long. I also, and its my own fault, didn't realise that just because the company has a dot IE website, it does not mean they are based in Ireland. I wouldn't usually buy plants that need shipping like this. I buy local plants and Ireland based suppliers to prevent receiving wilted and poor quality plants. Ti.e will tell if these plants can be revived.

Thank you for your feedback. As a nursery specialising in outdoor cultivation, we do not sell plants from heated greenhouses, unlike many garden centres. Variations in size, colour and shape may occur due to the nature of our products. As we deal in live products, it is inevitable that the sizes and colours of our products may vary from time to time; We send most of our plants as young plants that grow naturally. The plants recover quickly after planting.

Plants were in poor condition on arrival, especially my lavenders, looks like the box was upside-down a few times during the transport.. Snowball has some sort of disease, black spots on a few leaves on arrival but all leaves now... Sambucos - ordered 3 and 1 was a decent size, one smaller but acceptable, the 3rd one about 1/3 of the size of the biggest... In future I will go to my local garden centre and pay a bit more but at least I can see what I am buying and there plants are always in top condition!

Bare roots vs plant

I liked that everything was labelled. I didn't get any email or other form of planting instructions. Apart from waiting, I have no way of knowing if the plants will grow from the bare roots. Bit too soon to be able to tell.

I bought a shrub rose, in a large pot, expecting a reasonably sized plant . The rise is small, it was obviously a bare root stuffed into a bigger pot, as the compost in the pit bore no resemblance to that around the rose roots. I wrote to them and they committed to replying within 24 working hours. That has well passed and I've heard nothing. Their delivery cost is at the top of the range and it's not fast either. I feel I have been sold a bum steer.

I ordered 40 lavender plants and they were almost dead on arrival. I contacted Gardens 4 U and sent them photos. I didn’t get a refund, in fact I was instructed to soak them in water. No refund and I have a mess to contend with.

Disappointed fungus and dead leaves

Very disappointed with the plants I received. They were packed badly. 14 plants packed into a small box. Which broke two branches on two plants. Dead leaves on three of the plants and 8 of the plants had a fungus. Even DPD delivery couldn't get it right. There are arrows on the box as to what way the box should be standing . I got it at my gate on it's side. Overall very disappointed. Will not purchase from there again
