Testimonials

Here's what our customers say about us:

"Thank you for the pleasure that your bulbs, that I ordered from your catalogue earlier in the year, have given me. In spite of lack of rain to start with then more than enough rain to continue with, including late frosts and fale force winds, they have stood up to it all. Of particular mention including favourable comments from neighbours, the deep purple tuliops deserve special mention. "

"My most grateful thanks to Sarah for a very interesting and most enjoyable day on Tuesday last. It has given Cara and I many ideas for her wedding and for a blind wedding later this year. 
 
The warmth of welcome, Sarah's natural touch, the delicious lunch and all the tips and hints made the day go very quickly and very enjoyably. I hope to join you for other courses in the future..."

“We love your products and with such great customer service I can see why your business is blooming!”

"I have just received my dahlia tubers from you. I have never written a message like this before, but I have to praise the quality, the hessian packaging, the instructions for the care of the plants, the catalogue. I am totally impressed. I always feel it can be a risk to buy from an advert in a newspaper, often the quality of the plants are poor, and i prefer to see what im buying "in the flesh", but having made one purchase from you, I will be back for more, and pass the word around! Thank you so much." 

M. Stephens

 

"I just wanted to send a huge thank you, to you, for launching me into a year of great pleasure and success in my vegetable garden.  I came to a course of yours earlier this year and you not only inspired me enormously but you really set me on the right road to producing a very pretty and productive veg/cut flower garden.

I  also ordered most of my seed from you.  The instructions that you sent with them were so helpful and the quality of the end product has been perfect.  Having bought your cooking book and then done a short course at Ballymaloe, I can actually use everything that I grow properly.  I now also have two bee hives so I thoroughly approve of your bee friendly plant scheme."  

J. Winch

 

" Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the above product, received from you in March and duly planted. For the past two weeks I have had excellent blooms which I’ve  cut and placed at varying places in the house, filling the rooms with an incredible aroma.  I’ve never had much success with Freesias until this time.  I would certainly recommend them to my friends and anyone else." 

P. Loveys

 

"Thank you for your prompt attention to my tulip order, only posted on monday and received on saturday. thank you very much. I would also like to say how delighted I was with fifty freesias I purchased from you in the spring.  They were an absolute delight with wonderful colours and perfume. Keep sending me your catalogue!"

"A huge thank you for a fantastic day. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and learnt new tricks in the process - esp pastry making!  Will be recommending the course/s & the cookery books. "

"Please pass on the many thanks to Sarah for such an absolutely wonderful and beautiful day. I found everything so well organised and beautifully done and a delicious meal and even sunshine. My arrangement received many compliments on the train on the way home"

" The chrysanthemums I bought from you this summer (shaggy headed collection) have come into their own now, and are really giving a lift to my autumnal London garden.  Just wanted to say thankyou, and that I'll be back for more next year!"
