    The Ultimate Pelargonium Collection

    Ordered using gift voucher. Very quick to take money, slow to deliver. Plants were poor unnamed plugs, really disappointing. Several bad experiences now. Look at the competition and buck up your ideas. Will not use again.

    Lillium regale x 6

    I got these on sale so I expect them to sometimes be less then perfect but they came out the bag soggy and weird smelling - not what you expect with a bulb. I've planted them anyway but i would be really surprised if they come up successfully...

    They were also crazy slow to arrive, on of the first things I ordered and last to arrive, and now I can't figure out how to review the item on their website which is frustrating.

    Dahlias raspberry canes and freesias

    Long delivery time, but this is not uncommon at the moment.
    Main gripes are that only 5 out of 50 freesias germinated; only half of the very expensive dahlias have appeared above the soil and the summer raspberries have shown no growth at all.
    The dahlias that have made flowers are gorgeous though.
    I will buy through the RHS next time.

    Bulbs

    As a regular purchaser I received a catalogue with a 10% discount offer before August 22 2021 .
    After receiving a £100 in gift vouchers from my granddaughter I ordered bulbs amounting to a higher amount of money only to be told
    The discount does not apply if you use gift vouchers.
    This is just a get out to deny anyone the the discount, my granddaughters £100 purchased a few days before should have been honoured .
    It’s a disgrace.

    1 pulmonaria @£7.90, 10 cosmos @£11.90 £6 postage

    Pulmonaria: small, poor condition with 1 flower stem only, which was broken--worth perhaps £2.90
    Cosmos: 10 plugs arrived, good condition but 1 plug had no plant attached.
    I tried ringing but no answer after 10 minutes.
    I emailed my complaint as directed but have had no response.

    Plants and gardening supplies

    I've bought from sarah for the past 3 years not had any problems till this year, and I'm very dissatisfied I've spent over £150 on various plants most of which did not yeald any flowers at all the others were poor and only gave me small amounts of blooms, I had other plants from other companies which performed very well. Also having ordered bulb compost. grit and other items back in sept I have to press only received 1 item, disappointed that I'm not getting replies to emails , I'm aware this has been a difficult year but I feel sarah raven has not given good service this season. Wont be ordering again as I feel I've spent a lot of money for very little or in the case of my compost order NOTHING. sad you cant reply to my query emails.

    I will not be buying any more from this firm
