"Hello Jane, We recently ordered some Boronia plants from you to be delivered to my sister in Pembrokeshire - we are in Australia. Just to let you know she was absolutely delighted with the plants and impressed with both their size and the perfect condition they were in. Boronias grow wild in the bush around here in Perth, but of course we can't send them to the UK! Many thanks for your prompt helpful replies to our emails - we'll certainly be ordering from you again. "
