Thank you Rom. We try our best and glad your order arrived on time.
Superb service - once again
Boma is my go-to garden centre in London. Fantastic knowledgeable team. Excellent plant selection and amazing service.
Case in point: after I placed my order for delivery, the team followed up to confirm with some very helpful pointers - and their delivery was faster and more exact than other competitors.
Huge thanks Boma team.

Excellent online ordering service
Excellent online ordering service. Plants arrived well packaged (too much plastic packaging though!) and here within a week. Hebe plants were healthy and a good size. Would definitely use again for my garden planting if what I need is not available locally.

Thank you Carly for the feedback. They are much appreciated. It's a superb time of the year for Hebes. We try to recycle the plastic from stock that arrives, instead of just throwing it away. But it would be nice to reduce it entirely. Point well taken. Have a wonderful weekend and we hope to see you again.

Really switched on friendly and well informed staff. Great quality plants and they went the extra mile for me by contacting me in person to clarify details on the plant size I ordered. Very impressed with this company.

Top rate service from start to finish
Top rate service from start to finish - lush, healthy tree, packed beautifully in sturdy cardboard packaging plenty big enough to protect the tree from being squashed and damaged. Very pleased with the professional nature of this company - no hesitation to use again - many thanks!

This was my first time buying from this seller & I was very pleased with the rose I received. A very large, healthy plant packed with flower buds. As a result I would recommend this seller very highly to anyone looking to buy quality plants.

Hoya Carnosa that I bought on December…
Hoya Carnosa that I bought on December 2023 is slowly died. It was obviously has an illness, some of it's leaves was yellowish and dried, and moldy. I didn't mind and clean the bad leaves but in 2 months whole plant infected and today I put it in bin. I can't believe I paid £32 pounds for a plant with illness.
It's not my first hoya, I have some in my house, I know how to take care of plants, I tried everything, I bought fungus fighter spray, root treatments etc. Nothing worked.
They sold me an ill plant in a bad condition.
If you had the same problem, and suspect that the plant looks ill, don't be stupid like me and think that you can heal the plant, just send it back.
