"Every plant came healthy and have since doubled in size. Although I wish they were larger upon receipt they were up front about this. Garden looks great. Can't wait to see it in a year or two."
"I was disappointed in the condition when they arrived and some were broken off. I'm sure they will grow fine. But after spending that kind of money for a preplanned garden, I would have expected very healthy and intact plants. Also, I get that we are just getting started and it takes a few years for the garden to mature. . . . These plants were extremely small."
"The instructions we easy to follow. Plants were healthy and ready to plant."
"Clean slate at new property. Introducing a new bed to invite pollinators. All plants adapting and growing well. Loving the heights and colors."
"Considering the cost, the wait, and the condition of the plants that arrived (in two shipments over a week apart), I am certain we would have fared better at a local florist."
"I ordered this pre-planned garden and planted in late April. Over two months later and 75% of the plants are doing well. Nothing has flowered but are strong nonetheless. The dormant plants have not yet sprouted so a little concerned there. One of the catmint has almost died and I needed to totally trim it down to the ground. Overall these plants were definitely starters, which is fine, so I appreciated the map suggestion on where to plant things. I had to use the internet to help me determine what was what because most of the labels fell off during shipping."
"To my surprise every plant not only survived but thrived - this was a unusual year with several days over 100 and they did great."
"I had one plant arrive dead but I was refunded a portion to cover it. As someone who is used to buying 1 or 2 gallon plants and having an instant garden it is a bit hard to be happy with small plants. They did grow a decent amount this first year and I'm looking forward to them being more filled out next year. I think I'd rather spend a bit more and have larger plants from the beginning."
