"Dear Folks. I received my 80th birthday gift this morning from my phone pal in France via your company and I have to let you know that you have done me proud. The plant you sent is in absolutely perfect condition, is a perfect example and I am devoting an entire planter outside my front door to this exquisite specimen. Most sincerely."

"Thank you very much for delivery my Clethra Arborea in such perfect condition. It was beautifully packed. Please particularly thank Geraldine for her patient assistance in helping me obtain this rather rare plant – it wasn’t available when I first ordered it, but she kept it in mind and let me know once it was. Thank you for such excellent service. "
