"Only when ordering one plant and I could not order it, so I phoned your number and a very helpful man tweaked the website, so the problem was fixed."

"Have just received my first order which has arrived only three days after ordering. The plants are in excellent condition; the packaging obviously saved them from the vagaries of the Royal Mail……… I just felt that congratulations were in order: I believe in giving praise where it is due and it certainly was here. I look forward to ordering from you again. "
