Delighted with purchases from Boma Garden Centre!
Delighted with very healthy looking plants delivered swiftly and carefully packed.

Hi Patricia
Thank you for your review; your feedback is very much appreciated. Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, and enjoy the plants. We hope to hear from you again soon.
Fast, efficient service
I've ordered blue glazed saucers from Boma twice. Both times, the items were delivered the following day, carefully wrapped and packaged. 13 saucers in total arrived in perfect condition. Excellent service.

That's fantastic Chris. Thank you for the review. We're glad the plant arrived safely and in good condition. We hope to see you again soon.
Excellent service and excellent product
Human beings at the end of the phone! Peter was extremely helpful and responsive from start to finish. The hedging arrived on time as promised and looks of great quality so far - it's beech so we won't see its true glory for a few months yet - but the plants look sturdy and healthy. Peter also sent detailed planting instructions.

The Boma Garden Centre found and sent…
The Boma Garden Centre found and sent the most beautiful amaryllis to some friends in North London on my behalf. It’s bloomed with two feisty stems of four or five flowers, and the whole experience was pleasant and easy to do.

Thank you Monica
I visited Boma yesterday for the first, but definitely not the last time. Thanks to the amazing Monica, super helpful and very knowledgeable, this morning I took delivery of planters for the balcony, all beautifully planted up by Monica.

Very positive experience with BOMA…
A very positive experience with BOMA from both myself (halfway around the world from London) and the local recipient of two beautiful winter planters. Impressive customer service in every respect. Rapid response to queries, and helpful about a prompt delivery that was even faster than outlined on their website. Less than 24 hrs from the time I placed my order to the time my family member was enjoying the planters out on her balcony! Can’t beat that! Delivery was flawless and exactly when they said it would be. The planters are gorgeous and BOMA will now be our go-to for future gifts, plants and indulgences.

Thank you Ingrid, so much for a wonderful review. We really appreciate it and are glad to be of service. Have a wonderful day, and we look forward to serving you again in the future.
Rare plant arrived perfectly safe.
I was looking for Opuntia inermis Southern spineless cactus and added my email to be notified when it was back in stock. Several months later I was notified and made the order. This is a delicate plant with pads that can easily fall off and it is soft so easily damaged in transit. Boma Garden Center packaged this plant exceptionally well with plenty of protection allowing it to arrive safely. It was very clear they cared about the plant and the customer and this is why I have taken time to write this review. The plant was much bigger than what was shown in the picture as well. Highly recommended.

Outstanding customer service
I’ve been looking for a large 'statement' plant pot for my courtyard garden but as I live in Newcastle upon Tyne I am outside of Boma’s usual delivery area for such items. However, Boma went out of their way to find a solution and they managed to get the pot to me in a quick and efficient way. The staff were super friendly over email and on the phone, and the whole transaction was completed in a helpful and professional manner. Thank you Sean and Laura!

Beautiful planters, helpful & friendly team
Beautiful planters, speedy delivery. Extremely helpful & friendly team.
Unfortunately, one of the pots were damaged. Customer service responded immediately and offered a refund. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is not being offered a replacement planter but I would still recommend using them for great products & fab staff.
