"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. "
