Great service from Garden Crowd

Great service from Garden Crowd. Delivery and confirmation took slightly longer than I’d have liked but that’s because they’re a small business doing a great job. Always love supporting small businesses!

Absolutely brilliant!

Garden Crowd have been excellent: I first contacted them for advice, and they were quick to respond and really useful. The food arrived promptly and packaged carefully in an environmentally-friendly paper bag. And the food has been a hit: it took less than 12 hours to see tiny coal tits venturing into the feeder and coming back for more. I wish I could attach a photo to this review! In short: we're delighted. 5 stars for their top-quality products & brilliant company ethos!

Never seen so many birds tucking in

I wanted a plastic-free provider and found Garden Crowd. I’ve honestly never seen so many birds around our feeder. I’ve had to buy some new caged feeders to stop the bigger birds guzzling it all down before the little ones get a look-in. Now we regularly have an enormous family of blue tits tucking in, plus robins and woodpeckers. The children love watching them. We buy the “robin & friends” and suet bags.

FROGGS review Garden Crowd

Our green group, Friends of Garnethill Green Spaces (FROGGS) love our partnership with Garden Crowd. The wee birds in our community garden love it even more. I’ve never seen a bird mix with such a super variety of good stuff. One if our youngest members, age 7, monitors the different birds coming to our garden. In the soace of a month soartows quarupled. Gabby and Sally have become good buddies. It’s great to have a chat when they bring along new supplies. They also ran one of the chirpiest stalls at our local Gaitherin, getting the kids (all ages) house painting nesting boxes.

These blends are fantastic

These blends are fantastic - and I love the plastic-free packaging. The food I put out gets eaten quickly so there is no waste, nor any bits left over that they don't like, so they are really good value. I won't buy any other seed now. They also make really good presents :)

Very pleased to have found you...

Really appreciate the paper packaging and that experience so far suggests a feeder of your food lasts more than twice as long as what I had before ...

Thanks for your review Rachel. Great to hear you are experiencing better yields with this food. It should definitely last longer than other foods that just create spillages with waste fillers. Thanks for your continued support.

Love this

Love this. Happy to reduce plastic as we were buying a lot of bird food. The birds love it. It seems like they're singing more and eating less. But that might be because the fledglings have spread their wings and moved on now :)

Fantastic to find a great product in sustainable packaging from a company that clearly cares about our wild birds. Yes it's more expensive but you get what you pay for and I've seen more birds in my garden this week than ever before.
