"My plants arrived safely and I am absolutely thrilled with them. The quality of the plants and the care with which they had been packed exceeds any other mail order nursery I have done business with. Please pass on my sincere thanks to all concerned. I look forward to ordering more plants in the near future. Kind regards. "

"I wanted you to know that I am delighted with the plants that arrived last week, so beautifully packed. I am particularly pleased to have my old friend Azalea ledifolia ‘Alba’ again as the original petered out after 43 years, having been moved twice. I now understand better the cost of post and packing. "
