Amazing Service
How online retail should be done.
Genuinely the best service I’ve ever received from an online retailer. I ordered three of the ‘plant your own’ bay tree pot kits. They came really fast, and were packaged so well.
It’s all recyclable too!!

Thank you One Click
Received our plants in quick time, excellently packaged and in very good condition. These are large plants, not small, ready to make an impression in our garden. I can't say how pleased I am, with this and my former order, to see that the company are consistent with supplying plants of excellence.

I ordered a conference pear tree. Brilliant customer service, fantastic communication and delivery was very speedy. My pear tree was very well looked after, very healthy looking. Highly recommend. Definitely ordering from this company again. Best online plant/flower company I have come across without doubt.
