A perennial favourite

This is my third year ordering from Propagation Place, and it's become something I look forward to each spring. All of the plants were in great shape and carefully packaged when I received them, and there was good communication when one of the items wasn't ready in time with the option to wait or substitute in something comparable.
Always love having the option to pick up the order to save on shipping and have an excuse to visit the farm! Thank you!

Excellent Tomato Plants

I waited a few weeks before submitting this review so I could see how my plants were doing. I ordered a Colourful Tomato Plant collection and they arrived at the beginning of June, and I was so pleased with how they looked when they arrived. They were well packed, a good size and although wilting a little after their journey through the post, soon perked up after being left in some water and then potted on. All five are growing well now. Would definitely buy from this company again.

The plants you sent were excellent

The plants you sent were excellent. They looked very healthy and well grown. They were also well packed. While it was disappointing that growing conditions meant you couldn't send all the tomatillos, you dealt with the situation very well.

I received my order and am thrilled and…

I received my order and am thrilled and amazed with the exception quality of everything ! The order arrived in absolutely perfect condition as the packaging method for transportation is brilliant. After the plants had a little drink to refresh them from their long journey up to Scotland I potted them up yesterday. Despite horrendous weather they are already looking fabulous in their new homes. I’ve got to commend you, I’ve bought plants online from a Chelsea flower show multi awards winner and I have to tell you that what I’ve received from you guys is far superior in every way to than those I’ve had from elsewhere. I won’t be buying from anywhere else in the future. Keep up your great work, making a big difference in what you do together. Thanks ever so much, all the best.

Love your business model

Couldn't be happier. I was initially attracted by the Propagation Place ethos - offering education and training to young people who are horticulturally inclined. As a bonus, the plants I ordered were beautifully and sustainably packaged, so were strong and healthy on arrival. Really couldn't ask for more.

Banana Pepper Heaven

Having failed miserably on Two occasions to successfully grow a certain type of plant, resorted to what until now i would call cheating. But then reading prorogation places bio and the help and support that my purchase and their volunteers amount too The choice was made.

Plants arrived so well protected and so well established, it was clear to see how much time and enthusiasm they put into this.

Two days in from transplant; my little Green babies are so vibrant and healthy, and this morning 3 little Green babies of there own had appeared.:)

Couldn’t be more happy

Such well loved plants!

I have a had a couple of deliveries recently. All the plants arrive safely wrapped up in their little beds, feeling utterly loved, and I have to say they have all been really successful in planting out at the allotment.
Thank you for your excellent service. I am making others aware of this in my allotment group.

Good Plants

Quick responses, quick delivery and great plants and packaging! The only thing that docks a star, was that I ordered tomatillos to go with a seedling I already had. This is because tomatillos are not self pollinating. I believe the website says you should get 2 plugs? But I only received one. This is fine for me, but if you were ordering without any tomatillos then your flowers wouldn't get pollinated!
