Beautiful Hanging Baskets
I bought several pre planted nurseryman's choice hanging baskets from Dobies which, as summer progresses, have turned in to the most beautiful hanging baskets I have ever seen. The price was fair, delivery punctual and the plants were very healthy. Well done Dobies

Unprompted review
The plants I received were far larger…
The plants I received were far larger than I expected, and arrived in very good condition. Delivery was a day later than expected, (despatched on 7th but did not arrive until 9th) but that was of no fault of Dobies. I would certainly use again in the future.

I have not yet received my order which I placed on the 07/07/2027
I have not yet received my order. I had a message from Evri to say they would deliver between 8 and 9pm. yesterday 11/07/2026. But at 8:30 I received a message that they were unable to deliver and would let me know when they could deliver which would be on the next working day. I have not yet received my order 12/07/2026 and am very concerned as to the condition of the 5 plants I have ordered.

Not impressed ...
Ordered a plant 7 days ago and still waiting to be notified about when it will be dispatched and when I will receive it.
It's a gift for a friend, had I known it would take so long I wouldn't have ordered it.
Will not use this service again.

My plants have not arrived yet and Evri’s tracking service is not very informative. My delivery seems to be stuck with Evri.

Wrong plants received.
Ordered 5 perennials, when they arrived two of them were wrong plants. Emailed Dobies, they replied swiftly & will be sending me correct plants, & couldn't apologise enough. Good customer service, well done!!
