"Absolutely delighted with customer service - kept informed at all stages, sent two orders together which was really convenient and helpful as it is sometimes difficult for me to arrange to have someone to sign for deliveries so only had to rely on neighbours once."

"Thank you for an excellent service. My order arrived today in perfect condition and beautifully wrapped. I will be ordering more plants on line in the very near future…I enjoyed an article in the telegraph wrapping paper too. Perfect. "
