Celery was really good plugs, just waiting for rest, but communication is not that great
Very happy with the service provided by your garden centre. The plants I received are all healthy specimens and are growing well
you made a mistake as using Royal Mail to deliver my order was disastrous as the parcel promised by email by them didn't arrive until 7.45pm sopping wet with damage to plants. As a result I won't be... See more

Plants arrived in lovely condition
Plants arrived in lovely condition. Well packed and quite large. Much better than I have had from one of the more known growers.
Excellent.

Would not use again
Items were ordered, paid the extra for next day delivery. Received email saying items had been dispatched on the Monday but no sign of them Wednesday. Emailed to ask for an update twice but got no response. Then I received another message Thursday to say item had been dispatched which contradicts Mondays email. Eventually received plants on Friday. Do not bother paying the extra £8.75 for next day delivery is a waste of money. On a plus note, plants were well packaged and with the exception of one tray of plants arrived looking healthy and in tact. Probably will not buy from them again.

Reply from Acqua Garden
Hi Dianne, just to respond on this as it is unfairly negative: your order was placed on Saturday 22 June and was then processed, packed and shipped on Monday 24 June (first working day after the weekend). We shipped this by Express Next Day with Parcel Force, who collected the package at 2.30pm on Monday 24 June. I have checked all emails and notifications and you are incorrect - the notification from us on 24 June was entirely correct, confirming shipping by Parcel Force Express on 24 June. Unfortunately Parcel Force failed to deliver next day as we had paid for. Becca here liaised with you throughout. As she also said in her email to you, we cannot control the very rare failures by Parcel Force. However, you were also refunded the additional shipping cost in any event! And as you know, the email on 26 June was Becca explaining this, saying she had investigated with Parcel Force, that they were late and we had shipped on time but that she had refunded the express shipping cost. So, I have to correct your unfair review. We take customer experience extremely seriously. Our plants are always excellent, and packed very carefully in bespoke packaging. And we always ensure that any issues are quickly sorted out, as we did here, even where it is the fault of Parcel Force. Anyway, happy gardening to you in any event! Jonathan

Amazing blueberry bush
Just bought a blueberry bush from these guys, because no local garden centres had any, it arrived super fast, well packaged and already has fruit on it.
Really healthy bush, I would definitely recommend them and will be using again.

The peppers were in immaculate…
The peppers were in immaculate condition and are now growing strongly in the poly tunnel. I have never had such well packaged plants before. The 9cm plugs already had flowers forming and so will be laden with juicy peppers soon.

Sweert corn great packag
I ordered Sweert corn having been let down by other better known suppliers. They arrived promptly and best of all safely packed and protected so that the plants were not damaged.
