"I chose these plants because a) they require minimum care, just watering b) they flourish in minimal sunlight c) I wanted native plants in my garden. Planting and care directions were clear. By mid-summer all the plants were large and healthy, especially the spectacular tall grasses. Every time I walk past these plants I smile. I will definitely place another order for this product next year."
"I am conflicted about my purchase. Of the 15 plants, 14 are very healthy, with 1 liriope looking rather sickly at arrival. However, the plants I was most excited about (3 blue fescue, 1 little bluestem) were substituted with completely different grass that is very visually different (neon yellow, not pale blue) and frankly, hideous to me. Add to this the fact that my plants shipped multiple weeks after the planned date, and I'm having a hard time justifying this purchase. The plants are very healthy and seem to be doing well, but I cannot suggest this product if you care about receiving specific plants at a specific time."
"I purchased this preplanned garden to provide a bit of a screen near my pool area. I loved how simple it was to follow the plan and plant the right plants in the right arrangement. Plants arrived in PERFECT condition. I am honestly blown away by how perfectly they where packaged and shipped. I got the plants at the best time to plant in my area and even though they have only been in the ground a few short weeks, they are all THRIVING! I can't wait to see these grasses fully grown."
"We dug up part of our front lawn for these grasses. It's such a fantastic feature. Lots of nice comments from neighbors. Important to break up the soil down to 1ft for healthy growth!"
"This photo depicts the second year after planting. We had a large area to fill, so planted 2 sets. They grew well in the first year and this year filled in entirely for lots of privacy by the pool"
