Brilliant customer service!
This shop is fantastic, I ordered a Copiapoa plant and it arrived securely packaged, with no damage and exactly as shown in the photos!
I was nervous ordering a plant online as I have never done so before, however Louise was brilliant helping with any queries I had.
Their range of plants is wide and updated regularly, can’t recommend them highly enough!

We really appreciate your honest review, as this helps us to improve our service! Due to changes in plant health regulations, prices for importing plants/inspections has increased which has unfortunately had an impact on consumer prices. We want to ensure that the care of plants and service we offer is of gold standard and are therefore delighted to read your review! Thank you again for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We look forward to bringing you more varieties in future! :)
