I received a disappointing philadelphus plant that was misrepresented on the website as a potted plant in a 5L pot, but it turned out to be a bare-rooted plant recently placed in a small pot with no root development. The £40 charge, including postage, felt like a scam. Customer service was terrible when I requested a refund; they accused me of bullying when I mentioned contacting trading standards. Eventually, they refunded me but required me to return the plant, leaving me £8 out of pocket. There are many better plant suppliers in the area. I would advise gardeners to steer clear of this nursery for quality plants at reasonable prices.

Today, horticulturalists travel from all over the world to explore our secret garden and to discover the vast selection of plants, the majority of which are propagated on-site.

For many of these varieties we are the country’s only suppliers as listed in the RHS Bible, The Plantfinder.
