"I ordered two of the low grow collections and the Whimsical pre-planned garden. I have attempted gardens in the past with very mixed results (mostly failures). This year I decided I was just gonna go for it and let someone else do the planning for me. I did have some reservations about ordering plants on line because I've ordered fruit trees online before and they arrived quite dead. I am happy to report that ALL of the plants I ordered from American Meadows arrived happy and healthy. I planted them the very next day and they are still thriving. All of the bare roots I planted have come up except for one single peony. I'm giving it a little more time before I make the call to replace it. In any case, to have only one slow starter out of 30+ shipped plants is really exciting! 100% worth it to have the planning map and seasonal rotation already done so I can just enjoy watching it all grow."
"Just so so lovely. I would buy it again and again :)"
"Loved how this was presented as a pre-planned gorgeous display. And the video tutorials have been super helpful. Some of the plants are growing very well. Some didn't do so well. But they are perennials and I know they need time. So jury is still out with fingers crossed!"
"Everything except the Scabiosa has grown and thrived. The butterfly bush is blooming in its first year. The plants like the delphinium that haven't bloomed are putting out huge leaves and are getting established."
