Best online plants order received to date
During the pandemic whilst all the garden centres were closed, I had to order plants online from various retailers. Nearly all them were close to dead when received. These plants were amazingly healthy and packed really well. I bought Summer Savoury to combat blackfly but would also like to try it in cooking. Couldn't be happier with this order!
