Plants arrived quickly
Plants arrived quickly and ordering was easy but they were a little battered and I can only assume it was the how they were handled by Royal Mail, I potted them as soon as I received them so sure they will be fine

Plants via Royal Mail
The plants we ordered were very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition thank you.

These things happen during shipping but you expect to be given correct information to resolve the problem Very poor customer service
Plants arrived damaged in transit most of the compost had been shaken off the roots,
The plugs were in correct packaging (plastic plug tray) but were put in a much bigger box with no packing to stop them ratting around inside the box. As a result the plugs x10 arrived very badly damaged,
Email Martin and explained however his reply was pot them up and see how they go for 2 months which would take me outside the 30 return policy.
Completely avoided making me aware of 30 day refund policy etc
No apology.

Dear Ron,
After bringing the way the plants had arrived following transit I apologised and as teh plants were a couple of years old the roots were good and to plant up. If there were any problems in a month or 2 I would gladly rectify. The reason I didnt bring up about the 30 day refund policy was that I have confirmed I would rectify, my word as a fellow gardener I always believe superseeds any policy.
Your reply to me at that time
Martin
Great small business.
Great communication with Martin and healthy plants delivered swiftly. Glad to be supporting a small business.

Plants as described, quickly delivered and great value. Thank you.

Fingers crossed
The plants arrived quickly and were well packed. They looked healthy apart from the fact that each one had one or more leaves bearing a brown blotch.
I've removed these, as I suspect it might be a fungus, and have now planted.
I think that each little plant looks vigorous,
albeit smaller than when it arrived, due to
removing the infected leaves, so I just hope that I won't see any more fungal
looking spots as more leaves appear in
the spring.

Plug Plant Review
5 x Tricyrtis 'Pink Freckles' were large & strongly rooted and good value. The 9 x Campanula 'Golden Star' looked a bit small & scruffy but I was still able to plant them out after a couple of days and they are all progressing.

30cm tall plug plants
I ordered rosemary plug plants. These arrived as advised. However the plants were of poor quality and NO plug plants but a leggy rosemary stem. When contacting the seller I got some incorrect advise and mere lip service

Reply from Dartana Plants
Dear Evelin, I was disappointed to read your message. The rosemary plants were sold as plug plants but were effectively plants with large roots. I am disappointed that you felt having a larger plant was a disadvantage. I would have gladly received these back and made a refund. Martin
