Has anyone ordered from them recently? I saw it mentioned on another thread (post was from 2019) and checked it out, but it almost seems too good to be true!!

  • I have been buying from them occasionally for many years (at least back to 2016) and generally has been good experience. Once was unhappy with size of plant delivered and they quickly refunded me. However I would note they are currently behind on their deliveries- I'm still awaiting a delivery that was due in January. So- if you want something quickly than I would look elsewhere, but if time not an issue than would recommend them. 
  • I placed quite a few orders with them last year which were generally good, though the shipping time is a bit uncertain and you don't receive notifications when they are dispatched. The 9cm plants I received this month and in late autumn last year were smaller than the ones I received during summer months though, so think it's down to seasonal differences. Their customer service is very responsive which is good.

    Thanks both, that’s handy to know, I think it’s dispatch in march but if that carries over to april I wouldn’t be too fussed, seems a reasonable price to pay to get 12 plants for £25ish

    I've had good plants from them at very reasonable prices, but for the last year or so they haven't had anything I really wanted so I don't know if their quality etc is still the same.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    I've placed an order as they had a lot of things I wanted, at least with not having clay soil anymore if they don't come til may I'll still be able to get them in the ground :D

    Figured it was worth a punt as previously I'd ordered from claire austin hardy plants which are much more expensive for the same size pot (and I've had plants from them that were just soil with no shoots to be seen yet!)

    I use them a lot, have done last 2 years, great customer service and usually good plants, the ones that arent 100% refund, no issues. They tend to restock tuesdays / wednesdays so sign up to mailing list for a mailer when new stocks released to get first pick of the lot. Delivery is slowww but if your not in a rush, well worth a punt.
  • I have been ordering from them for a few years and they offer good value plants which are carefully packed but delivery is a bit slow, as mentioned by others.  I have had no problem with the quality of the plants and the customer service is very good.

    Thank you both! I’ve got quite a big border to fill from scratch so I can definitely accept the wait for the sake of a price saving!

    I've just taken a look for the first time and placed an order.

    Lots of things I was looking to buy anyway so all good. o:)

    That was my justification 😆 lets hope we’re not still waiting for our orders in June!
