Thank you so much for organizing our visit to Bressingham and the tour with Mr Bloom. I cannot tell you enough how much we enjoyed our visit and what a delight and privilege it was to have a private tour. Foggy Bottom especially was quite magnificent and inspirational. Jonathan F. 29July 2021

My wife and I enjoyed a fabulous an almost 3 hour tour with one of the volunteers and their knowledge and passion transformed the experience for us. We learned such a lot about the history and the planting and we’re able really evaluate together applications for our own garden. A large online order has already been placed, Thank you!! 20 July 2021

Just to let you know that the plants arrived safely in North Yorkshire this morning. I found the three boxes on my front doorstep at about 10.30 a.m. so the driver must have come early. I have unpacked two of the three boxes, and all the plants in those boxes were well wrapped and in good condition. I have given them a good watering after unpacking. I shall unpack the third box this afternoon, and look forward to planting them in the next few days. We had a shower of rain this morning, but not enough to soak the soil.

My latest plant order has arrived today and as always the plants are in excellent condition. Thank you for your excellent service. I have bought plants from you this year and last year in several orders. I have restocked my garden in retirement although my first orders from you was many years ago. You are always my first port of call for herbaceous plants.

Hello…..my plant arrived today. It was so well packaged and the plant itself was fantastic…..large, very healthy looking and even with buds! I’ve been ordering plants by mail order for years, this is by far the best one I’ve ever received, thank you so much!
May 2021
As always – beautiful plants, beautifully grown and beautifully packaged. Don’t know why I bother with other mail-order plants companies. Your plants are far superior.

“ Stunning, memorable, a true paradise. A place which is now on our favourites list to be visited regularly now that we are retired. Inspiring ideas too, to take home and emulate.”
