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.

Love the fast delivery. They packaging is fantastic. 80%-90% of the plants looked in good condition but 10%-20% of the plants looked either dead, damaged or yellowing leaves.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!

I bought 8 plants from this supplier and I am not impressed. For this money you can buy plants in local garden shops looking more mature and in better physical state. The shop gave me two months to see if they survive. Oven if they survive it will take a long time for them to grow up. For example, I bought Hosta for €6 which came sized about 8 cm tall and about 8 cm in width, for the same money I bought in B&Q the same Hosta sized 25cm in height and about 25 cm in width. A big difference. Lily was delivered nearly white colour and nearly dead. The rest of the plants are in nearly the same small sizes and in very poor conditions. This is a very misleading advertisements on their website. I do not advise anyone to buy their plants, you will be very disappointed.

Our plants are nursery plants grown outdoors, designed to grow in the garden and develop with the seasons. We don't sell florist or supermarket plants fed on fertilizers and grown under artificial light. Our plants, once in the ground, will grow for years to come. We have customers all over Europe who send us photos after several years of using our products. We offer a 2-month warranty on all our plants.

Lavender tree nothing like image on website

Ordered lavender tree to be delivered to my father for Father’s Day. It looked nothing like the picture on the website. Was very small and skinny with no flowers. Had to re-pot and are hoping will improve. Picture on website very misleading.

Reasonable option if not a driver.

Delivery a bit slow. Plants in good condition & as described. Should have ordered more compost.. 10 kg bag is tiny. Unfortunately delivery involves a LOT of packaging including plastic. A plastic free option would be a good idea.

Some plants arrived damaged, poor customer service

Some plants arrived damaged, plants were packed under pots! customer service dismissive. Won’t be going back. Please note if ordering from Ireland that the company is not Irish and your plants will be shipped from Holland in boxes. Soil was bone dry on most plants. The amount of cardboard used in the packaging was shameful also, enough to make a tree with.

The photos we received showed plants in much better condition than your email. As a reminder, these photos were seen by the quality control manager and our manager. We offered you a 20 % discount on these plants and 2 months warranty on these products. If you read some of the comments on this page, you'll see that a lot of customers say: "arrived in time with recycled packaging ...very pleasant".

We advertise plants cultivated outdoor all year along. We send the majority of our plants as naturally growing young plants. These young and robust plants will recover well after planting and sprout anew. Hosta roots are always sent dry so as not to develop disease or mildew they need to be soaked in water prior to plant them Pennisteum are ornamental grasses that turn to straw in autumn and winter. In late spring, the plant becomes an ornamental grass again, as we can see from your photos. The rosebush shows no signs of damage, just like the other items.

Poor service

Purchased tree a week ago. Shipped 5 days ago but still not delivered. DPD tracking is a disaster - continuously being re-routed. Item has been boxed and in transit for over a week with no water. Will be interesting to see condition when it arrives (If ever).

We have checked in our system that Lilium Oriental arrived damaged and the sum of €23.80 has been refunded on an order of €126.85, one star is very poorly rated and graded as the rest will develop normally.

Venus fly trap

I got the Venus fly trap, but it came very poor condition, kind of half death. I hope I can bring back to life ☹️ I'll never buy online flower again.

The heads of carnivorous flowers live for a few days and then die. This is part of the plant's natural cycle, not the result of buying it on the net. Carnivorous flower heads who turn black need to be removed as the plant grows.
