Customer Testimonials

WOW! It took me about 45 minutes to completely free my plants from their box. I have never received mail-order plants in such great shape. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into packaging; it means my plants arrive in great shape, ready to be planted. Thanks so much for your high standards! Youve earned a new customer in me. :)
