Avoid!

I have two fairy magnolias from them and they are rapidly dying from a fungal leaf spot disease and leaf blight. At all costs, AVOID . Read onBy: Vivien Gawn

    Oriental Poppy plants order

    I was over the moon with my purchase of Oriental Poppy plants from this online gardening store. They were not only reasonably priced, but they also arrived well-watered and packaged in good health. The variety of plants and shrubs available at this store is really impressive, and I managed to grab some amazing deals that were much cheaper than what I would usually find at a garden centre. Overall, I had a fantastic experience shopping at this online store.

    Dwarf pine plant

    I bought a dwarf pine plant from this website not long ago and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with how it all went. The website is really easy to use and I found it quite simple to find what I wanted. The prices were fair, and the company kept me updated every step of the way, which was great.

    Geraniums and an unusual fuchsia

    I have been purchasing items from this shop for a long time now and I must say, it has been really good. I only had one problem with something, but I am planning to address that with them. Anyhow, I just received my most recent order of geraniums and this lovely fuchsia today, and they arrived in perfect condition! The packaging was excellent and they were already potted. I will transfer them to larger pots later, but for now, they are doing well.

    Corydalis 'Heavenly Blue' purchase

    I've just bought a Corydalis 'Heavenly Blue' plant online, and the whole ordering process was easy and stress-free. I was really impressed with the efficient service from the team. The plant arrived today, all nicely packaged, so it came in perfect condition. It was a decent size plant with a couple of flowers already blooming, which was a pleasant surprise. I'm really happy with my purchase and would definitely buy from this company again.

    Plants

    I've bought plants from different websites in the past, but they always arrived looking sad and droopy. However, when I ordered from this place, every plant was really healthy and doing well. Though the delivery was a bit delayed this time, the communication was good and the plants still looked amazing when they arrived. I will definitely purchase from here again!

    Poorly delivered plants

    I ordered some plants from this company recently, but unfortunately, they arrived in a terrible state. They had been left in a delivery depot for three days without light or water, so when they arrived, they looked all wilted and unhealthy. Some of the plants aren't even growing now, which is really disappointing considering how much care and thought I put into choosing and ordering them. I tried contacting customer services, but they don't seem keen to sort it out and make things right, which is frustrating. It's really disappointing to receive such poor quality plants, and it's even worse when the company doesn't seem interested in fixing the issue. I also noticed that they only post positive reviews on their website, which is misleading and not very transparent. Overall, my experience with this company has been really disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone in the future.

    Totem conifers with bulbs

    I ordered two different types of totem conifers and bulbs from a company recently. The first order came on time but only had one bulb in it, which was a bit annoying. The second order was late for some unknown reason, and that got me a bit frustrated. But when I got in touch with the company, Lesley sorted it out quickly and I eventually got all my stuff. Despite the mix-up, I have to say, the totem conifers are great quality. They're healthy, looking fresh, and are now the main attraction in my garden.

The plants arrived in great condition, thanks to the careful packaging. The prices were fair, especially with the wide range of plants they have on their website. After such a positive experience, I will definitely be buying from them again in the future.

    Healthy plant delivery

    I recently bought a plant from this company and had a fantastic experience. The website was super easy to use, and I quickly found exactly what I wanted without any trouble. The plant I got was really healthy and obviously looked after well. It arrived promptly and was really well packaged so there was no damage at all. They kept me updated on the delivery, which was great. I definitely recommend this company and will be buying from them again in the future.

    Plants delivery

    I bought some plants for my garden from an online store recently. Sadly, most of them turned up late and looking a bit worse for wear. I tried to explain this by sending emails and pictures, but all they did was ask for more info which felt like a bit of a waste of time. Personally, I'd suggest checking out a local garden centre or even Asda for better quality plants.

    Bare root roses and hypericum purchase

    I recently bought some bare root roses and hypericum from this shop. The packaging was spot on, but I was a bit disappointed to see that the bare root roses looked a bit sad when they arrived. However, I've planted them in my garden hoping that the manure compost and root enhancer will help them grow well. We're creating a new garden on an old Steading, so we've been buying lots of plants. Gardening Express has great prices, which is why I decided to order from them again. My first order went smoothly, and the plants are doing well. Even though my second order wasn't perfect, I'm hopeful that with proper care, the new plants will flourish in no time.

The website was easy to use and helped me find exactly what I needed. They had a wide range of plants and tools, and I managed to get everything in one go.

    Plant delivery

    I've just got a delivery of plants from this place, and honestly, I was pretty disappointed. The plants were way smaller than I thought they'd be, and the quality was not great either. I'm really not happy with what I got.

If I had any questions or worries, the customer service team was quick to help and really professional, which made the service even better.

    Recent plant purchase

    I've just bought some plants from this company and, on the whole, I'm happy with the quality and prices. But, the packaging for my last order was a bit rough and some of the plants ended up damaged. Normally, the delivery is great and the plants come in good condition.

    Hydrangea purchase, good condition

    I don't normally write reviews, but I had to share how pleased I am with my recent purchase of a hydrangea from this company. Being a first-time customer, I was a bit unsure at first, but the plant arrived right on time and in perfect condition. When I opened the box, it felt like opening a special gift, and I was so happy to see how healthy and colourful the hydrangea was. It's clear that this company pays a lot of attention to how they package and deliver their products. I'm already thinking about my next purchase from them, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who loves gardening.

    Succulent and Cactus Plants

    I recently bought some succulent and cactus plants from this place, and I have to say, I am absolutely thrilled. The plants are top-notch quality and arrived in perfect condition. I've dealt with other gardening suppliers in the past, but none of them compare to the service I got here. I won't be going anywhere else from now on - this is my one-stop shop for all my gardening supplies. And let's not forget about Lee from the delivery team - what a star! He was so professional and polite, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to shopping here again and again.

    Beautiful plants

    I have to admit, I've never been let down by the plants I get from this company. The plants always come in great shape, neatly packaged and all set for planting in my garden. I've been a customer here for about three years and I can say with certainty that their service is consistently top-notch.

    5 Perennial plants

    I recently bought 5 Perennial plants from them, hoping for some vibrant and healthy plants to spruce up my garden. Unfortunately, when the plants arrived, I was pretty disappointed to see that they were already starting to wilt and weren't looking their best. The leaves were beginning to go yellow, and there were clear signs of damage from pests. This definitely wasn't what I was expecting when I placed my order. I tried reaching out to customer service to address the problem, but their response was slow, and the whole resolution process left a lot to be desired. Even after sending over detailed photos of the issues, the problem wasn't sorted out properly. Overall, I was really disappointed with the low quality of the plants and the not-so-great customer service.

    diascia plant

    My diascia plant arrived in really good condition! I was super excited to get it planted and I trimmed off the flowers before putting it in the ground. It would have been nice if the description said whether it will bloom again, but never mind. The houseplant had a bit of yellowing and was slightly damaged from the packaging, which I think could have been done better. But all in all, I'm pleased with the quality and the price.
