"I thought it was a brilliant....super brilliant website. I could have shopped for ever, and forwarded my order to a friend to inspire her. Very good photos and helpful notes. It wouod be good to sign up for seasonal tips and even though I hate auto e mails, it would be an excellent reference if your monthly advice tipped into my inbox and I'm sure it would extract further orders!! Can't wait to see my plants"
