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

Ordered 2 plants. Received 1 dead dry & in poor condition The second plant is also in poor condition and I doubt if it will survive. I will receive credit but would much prefer replacements.

Of the 2 plants we received photos, only one was damaged, so we refunded that one in accordance with our warranty. Once planted, you have a 2-month guarantee on the hydrangea ordered.

Slightly disappointing

-Website had suffix ".ie" (Rep. Of Ireland domain) Plants shipped from Netherlands -Business doesn't appear to have more than a token physical address to claim .ie. This is entirely within the law but personally I find this practice dishonest. -Flowers picked were listed as good for shaded areas, upon arrival packaging stated they were suitable for direct sun. -Upon arrival one plant was in reasonable condition with some slight damage, to be expected shipping overseas ( and why I chose a supposed Irish website to prevent this) and the other plant was badly crumpled into the same packaging. Again, nothing illegal about this practice, however, I will avoid in future. This is entirely my own experience.

We do not keep secret the fact that we are based in Holland, our physical address is clearly visible on the site and we pay taxes to the 22 countries where we ship which also brings in currency in these various countries. Vinca minor and climbing rose can be planted in sun or partial shade. We've been shipping to Ireland for over 20 years and are proud to have customers in 22 European countries with the lowest prices on the market.

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.

Lavendar plants arrived withered and in poor shape. I have repotted the plants in fresh compost and hope at least one will recover. Lesson learned. I have ordered live plants from Mr Middleton and tgey arrived in tip top shape and condition. Just saying.

expensive slow shipping, small plants

the order takes a while to be process which is not stated in the delivery time, shipping was expensive and slow, plants arrived at the significantly smaller side of the size scale provided on the website. I would definitely not order again.

The photos on our website show you always a mature product photographed in summer period. After shipping delivery is about 4-5 working days weekend and bank holidays not included. we're in Holland and among the fastest and cheapest on the internet in this sector in the 22 countries where we ship, not to mention the 2-month growth guarantee.

The hydrangea you received develops its foliage on the new year's growth and not on the old wood. Plant please what you have received the order is guaranteed 2 months. If you don't see any growth, please contact our customer service department before the end of the 2-month growth guarantee period with photos of the planted products they will be replace (if we have them in stock or refund). Shipping cost to Ireland is about €14.95 and goes directly to DPD courier we do not own money with shipping.

The plant was sick when it arrived. Full of brown spots. Trying to recover it with neem oil treatment now. The rest of the products were fine.
Answer by gardens4you.ie

Plants grown outside can sometimes have spots - not a disease, but the result of wind, rain or sun. In nature, plants with immaculate foliage do not exist. Removing the leaves is more effective than treating them, because it's useless: once removed, new leaves will develop.

This was a €40 gift for a new home. Had I known it would be sooo much smaller than pictured I would have bought flowers. No not impressed with the sales technique ;( I did write to customer service but no response yet, instead I'm asked to write a review....

The photos on our website show you always a mature product photographed in summer period. Don't worry, buddleia can grow 30 to 40 cm per season. They're hardy shrubs that make great butterfly magnets.

The flowers delivered were delivered on time and as expected. They look great and were very well received. The only issue I had was that I was given an option to add in a free card/note, which I did - I filled in a full message and signed it off. Unfortunately, our recipient was unable to find this note and had no idea who the plants were from. In the end I had to ask if she had received the delivery and advise they were from me. Not ideal when the delivery was intended as a gift.

Our system always asks you at the time of ordering whether the order is a gift. Unfortunately no message and no gift card (paying) have been selected for this order we have checked.

Magnolia and Wisteria

It will be a miracle if the plants survive they arrived in such poor condition.
