Thank you as well for your very kind offer of some rooted Rhizomes of Petasites jap. Giganteus we would love to take you up on that offer. We will be placing an order for a couple of Hosta lewis\u00a0cottage seedling next week. Perhaps we can add them to the delivery.<\/div>\n<div>I will be certain to keep checking in on your website as there are some things out of stock that we will order when back in stock, suh as Rheum Pamatumtanguticum, Datisca cannabina, Disporum Night Heron.<\/div>\n<div>KS<\/div>\n<p>Plants arrived this morning, very good size and look healthy.<br \/>\nGN<br \/>\nReceived beautifully packaged plants today and wanted to let you know I am delighted with them, thank you.

Thanks again.<br \/>\nGS<br \/>\nHello Richard,<br \/>\nyou might want to know the plants arrived in record time within a day, i e Tuesday 3 pm. They looked very healthy and raring to grow. Thanks for packing them lovingly, they were looking as fresh as could be expected after travelling to the South East of the country and needed only minimal rest and refreshment before being cosied into their allotted spaces later the same day. They&#8217;re snuggling in near some Salvia Amistad which will be a pleasing colour contrast to look forward to.<br \/>\nWhen I rushed out early the next morning, they already looked very much at home.<br \/>\nI hope you won&#8217;t mind me asking a question: would it be an idea to nip off the tops of at least some of the shoots to promote a more bushy growth??<br \/>\nBG<br \/>\nDear Richard.<br \/>\nBoth boxes arrived yesterday and in great condition!<br \/>\nThanks so much<br \/>\nCS<br \/>\nJust a quick email to say thank you for recent delivery of Asplenius, the plants look in great condition and arrived safe and sound and now look great in the garden.<br \/>\nI like the way you wrap them in newspaper instead of sending more pots out, nice touch.<br \/>\nI look forward to buying plants from you again in the future<br \/>\nPF<br \/>\nJust a thank you for my lovely Vinca major Dart Star, just received this evening&#8230;such nice looking healthy big plants!<br \/>\nMuch appreciated!<br \/>\nEK<br \/>\nNew plants!!! #astilboidestabularis, #trachystemonorientalis, #weigelamiddendorffiana, #ribeslaurifoliumrosemoorform.

As for the weigela, I\u2019m not a massive fan of yellow flowers on the whole but they\u2019ll go perfectly with the planting I have in mind and their shape is irresistible<br \/>\nGWD<br \/>\n@lewiscottageplantsfantastic &#8211; they\u2019re beautiful, healthy and a really terrific size. Hurrah indeed!<br \/>\nGWD<br \/>\njust wanted to say a big thank you for the plants today. They are gorgeous specimens and although I didn\u2019t get chance to plant them yet, due to the rain, they\u2019ll make a wonderful contribution to my garden as I turn it from brambles into some form of colourful order. Well, sort of, ha. I\u2019ll certainly keep an eye out for more hydrangea next year when I start on the front garden -They\u2019re my absolute favourite!<br \/>\nJG<br \/>\nDear Richard,<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve received your parcel yesterday, unpacked it today and absolutely happy with it!<br \/>\nNo plastic pots, everything is healthy and strong.

Very exciting, they look amazing.<br \/>\nThank you once again.<br \/>\nA<br \/>\nI have just opened the box containing my plants (order #7333) and I am happy to say they all look to be fine and are all showing signs of life &#8211; except for the Rheum palmatum, which is probably still just a little behind. I will keep an eye on it, but hopefully it will be springing to life once the weather warms up a bit.<br \/>\nThank you for the care with which you packaged and posted the plants, it is much appreciated.<br \/>\nJP<br \/>\nAll arrived safely, and I\u2019m delighted. Such a joy to get plants that have actually grown outdoors to create decent roots.<br \/>\nAB<br \/>\nHi Richard<br \/>\nI received the plants ordered from yourselves today and would like to thank you for the extra plants which were included. How considerate of you and very much appreciated. All plants received were in good condition and I loved the packaging, very environmental friendly which is so important these days.

I look forward to welcoming its statuesque presence in our borders.<br \/>\nNH<br \/>\nThank you also for the Devon NGS booklet, although I don\u2019t think we will be making the long journey to Devon this year. As it happens we are opening our garden in Hertfordshire for the NGS this year in July and in October, as we have done for the past 14 years including last year (see our website below).<br \/>\nI do try to support the local perennial nurseries whenever possible. Daisy Roots (www.daisyroots.com) close to us is a great nursery, where I get a lot of my plants.<br \/>\nRegards,<br \/>\nAB<br \/>\nHi richard<br \/>\nReceived the plants very nice thanks. The Persicarias look particularly vigorous, compared to some of the bigger nurseries j parker for example your plants are in a different class, night and day, happy to support and will do do in future. It\u2019s nice to deal with some one who obviously cares.<br \/>\nAll the best,<br \/>\nMB<br \/>\nThank you for your email, that&#8217;s a nice touch and great customer service.<br \/>\nPlants arrived safely and very impressed with the quality. Thank you. Will use you again. The holiday cottage looks lovely. Unfortunelty I am disabled so not suitable for me.<br \/>\nSH<br \/>\nRichard,<br \/>\nrecieved plant order 7577 3 Euphorbia Fireglow no problem with the delivery the driver who has been coming to us over a number of years spotted the wrong number before seeing your note so all fine,<br \/>\nthankyou so much for your fanastic service, stay safe<br \/>\nkind regards<br \/>\nBD<br \/>\nReceived the plants today.

I am also totally impressed by your environmental policy. It is so good that you are reusing what would be thrown away and ditching the plastic.<br \/>\nIt is an absolute pleasure to order from you!<br \/>\nSM<br \/>\nThank you Richard&#8230;My order arrived yesterday and although the DPD delivery guy actually put it on my front step upside down!! the contents were fine&#8230;your packaging is great, especially use of paper &#8216;pots&#8217;, shredded packaging ready for my compost heap- etc.<br \/>\nHM<br \/>\nThank you for my lovely Inula plant which arrived safely today.<br \/>\nD P<br \/>\nHi Richard,<br \/>\nBelated thanks for the plants. They arrived in good order &amp; looking very healthy.<br \/>\nGH<br \/>\nHi Richard,<br \/>\nJust wanted to say a big thank you for dropping the plants off- they look great and excited to get them planted. Sorry to have missed you.Thanks again,<br \/>\nSH<br \/>\nHi Richard,<br \/>\nGot it. Like the plastic free packing, thank you<br \/>\nET<br \/>\nRichard, Plants just arrived this evening.<br \/>\nYour packaging is exemplary. It is the first time I have seen the shredded paper technique. A bit messy to unpack, but plants in great condition.<br \/>\nI admired a group of Hydrangea Quadricolor in Dunham Massey garden recently and decided to buy. Very few suppliers which is why I found you.<br \/>\nMB<br \/>\nThe plants look super, thank you so much. Great to see a lack of pots, we have a local nursery that takes all our spares but sending them out in newspaper is a genius idea. The elastic bands will be added to my collection which I take to the post room at work when the pile reaches instability.<br \/>\nSo excited about D stewartii, an impulse buy. The previous owners of my house were keen gardeners. After a battle with ground elder its now exciting to spy self set Digitalis\u2019lings appearing and wondering which species they are.<br \/>\nEnough of my warbling, thank you again for the strong plants, rapid delivery and sustainable packaging.<br \/>\nKW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is always helpful to receive feedback from our customers, especially when it&#8217;s full of praise for our plants &amp; customer service.
