"Thanks for the lovely plants and sending them in time for planting before I go away. Much appreciated. "
Pauline Jones, London June 2010


Quote

"Just to let you know I received my Olearia today. We live in the Orkney Islands in the far north of Scotland and when I placed my order I thought I was taking a big gamble and just hoped the plant would be okay after its long journey. I should not have worried; it looks as fresh as can be as if it had been freshly planted for me. Thanks must obviously go to the gardeners for growing such strong plants but also to the packers who made sure it was happy and comfortable for its long, dark journey north. I hope it will be very happy in its new home! I will have absolutely no hesitation in purchasing again from you in the future. Thanks to you all once again "
