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

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.

I was disappointed to be honest. I thought they were expensive for what I received. Hopefully they will grow as they are roots and then a very small plant of witch hazel which need alot of care to get ir established.

Thank you for your feedback. The photo of one of the 2 buddleias received is completely normal for the season especially during the winter period, we have -2ºC at night here in the Netherlands this is nursery plant cultivated outdoor all year around. Do not worry the order is 2 months guaranteed, if the plant failed to grow the item will be simply replaced or refunded.

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.

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.

I didn’t realise that some of the plants would arrive not potted and in root form. Maybe it says it somewhere but I didn’t see it.

The photos on our site always show a plant. The product description next to the picture shows you if the plant is delivered as a bulb, rhizome, root or pot plant.

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.

I was a little disappointed with my order. I was expecting much larger plants. ( possibly my fault for not taking notice of sizes rather than photos)
Answer by gardens4you.ie

We state a delivery height for all pot plants, shrubs and trees For potted plants, this height is measured from the ground, including the pot. Keep in mind that plants that are planted in a border will be lower in the border, because the pot height disappears under the ground. Shrubs and trees supplied with bare roots, i.e. without a pot, are measured from the top of the roots and are therefore planted at the same height as the liver height. We always indicate a delivery height range because it is a live product and products can vary slightly in length during the season. Once planted, most plants will continue to grow quickly, especially in the spring.

I bought a camellia and 2 hydrangea I have to say it was a very fast delivered and the plant was really well packed and protected which I was really impressed! That said, i was a left a little disappointed wt the fact that it is literally a thin twig which I will have to grow it probably in the shed for at least a year before plant it, specially because I was planning to put it in front of the house! Overall happy with the purchase

Our hydrangeas are nursery plants cultivated outdoor all year around we have 5ºC at night and 11ºC during the days. Do not worry once planted in the garden ground and well protected with some mulch of straw they will grow very quickly in march -april when spring will return, order is guaranteed to 30 april 2023.

Arrived in very bad condition

No proper confirmation email regarding shipping, so I was unsure when to expect my package. The plants arrived in a battered and torn box, with several of the plant pots broken and badly bent out of shape, and the plants themselves look very unhealthy, all yellow and brown and withering

All customers in Europe and therefore in Ireland receive an automatic email the day the order is shipped, yours was sent on 25/10/2022, the package was then after 72h visible on www.dpd.ie. The aubrieta that we saw on the photos were completely normal, they are plants grown outside we have in Europe the 4 seasons, the foliage of the aubrieta do not fall in autumn-winter but the plants still in pot are naturally much less attractive when the cold arrives. Do not worry as informed they are guaranteed to the 30th April 2023.
