Wonderful plant knowledge and great service

I was looking for a particular tree to give as a present for Christmas as nominated by a friend. I had no idea where to find this tree or what it might cost.
After searching a number of sellers websites and finding the tree in question it was either not available or quoted at a price which was well beyond what I was ready to pay. (The difference in prices was huge) When I found Botany Plants Louise knew exactly what I wanted, checked it was in stock, said the delivery would be delayed (which did not matter) and delivered the tree herself (100 miles) well before I expected it. The price was very substantially lower than the next cheapest price. Could not have been a better service by charming people. Thank you Louise. Recipient extremely happy and surprised.

Talk on Mediteranean plants for the Kent Coast

Dear William
Thank you so much for your talk last night at Eastry Hort Soc. Everyone said how interesting it was and, given the current conditions, very appropriate.
Take care, Regards
Jacki

Just found this nursery listed as a supplier for a quite rare plant I have been looking for, and found it here. Great range of plants, lovely people, and very quick and efficient service. Great to find such a helpful nursery which I highly recommend. Thank you Louise. 💐🌿🌸👍💐

Excellent

I messaged many nurseries looking for a specific plant. Louise was one of the few to message me back. She had the plant I'd been searching for. She posted the plants to me and they arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Brilliant communication and an outstanding range. Thank you Louise.
