Bought 5 TRAILING begonia corms via Amazon. They are clearly not trailing! Emailed twice, no reply. Raised a case via Amazon, immediately closed with no response. Garthwaite eitger have no idea what they are selling, or, more likely, just scammers. Read google reviews, they are shocking. Refund????

Bought a rose via ebay, it was RIDDLED with Blackspot. No way they didnt know. The garden centre must be full of disease and from looking at other reviews, best avoided. Trash people.

Whats worse, no apology and asked for it back, they will resell it!

Total Rip off ..Ordered 3 premium quality rhubarb crowns..all dead on arrival .. seller does not respond ..total scam Do NOT purchase from this company

I ordered some large plug plants geraniums from them. When they arrived they looked awful. Nothing like the picture in their advertisement but only fit for the bin. Been in contact with them and they are giving me a refund.
Will never use these people again.

WOULD GIVE 0 STARS IF I COULD!
Brought some Canna lilies last summer and when they arrived were just wispy roots. Planted them with fingers crossed but no show. Contacted nursery and told to keep then in the warm and they will be ok, grew them through winter inside with no shoots. Got back to them and they said they had had 100% growing success growing.
I have tried to get my money back or new bulbs but they are just ignoring me. Brought through Ebay so can't get refund from them
DON'T order from them they are just ripping people off
First few reviews are ok but when you scroll down a page or two you see how many people have been let down by them

I ordered 20 Gladiolus byzantines bulbs in November 2024. I expected them to flower like the pictures shown. I was disappointed. A few managed a green shoot like a blade of grass. None flowered.
I emailed them but was ignored. I'll ignore them in the future as well. Avoid.

Just bought Anenome Blanda from them, several hundred. Received. Packaged really well. Great service and quality. Thank you.

Bare root Item was just dust. Have emailed three times with no response. Avoid this at all costs.

Don't even think about ordering anything from these cowboys! I ordered asparagus crowns and, after several months.....nothing has appeared. They were delivered in a brown paper bag, dried out and with the roots cut back to 6inches. Have sent several emails, no reply. Tried phoning, just an answerphone message saying "family illness" and giving an indecipherable alternative number to call. BEWARE. Any positive reviews are probably fake

Absolutely desgusting,this nursery sell Cala lily white ,bulbs like extralarge,when arrive I found small bulbs....this was last year...Now I have a plant from this bulbs,small unhealty,colored cala lily....Im happy to show the pictures.

Healthy peony plant delivered, well packaged and no surcharge for my Highland postcode

Dreadful customer service.
Ordered allium bulbs from eBay. This is probably one of the worst companies I have ever purchased from. The allium bulbs supplied did not flower even after being reassured they would eventually. Having contacted them on numerous occasions they did not reply or address my dissatisfaction. If you are looking for a reliable top quality organisation avoid this company.

I bought 48 lily bulbs from this company via OnBuy,
(24) BAFFERARI Oriental Lily and (24) TRIUMPHATOR LONGIFLORUM ORIENTAL LILY (ZANLOPHATOR), only half of them flowered and they are not even the bulbs that I ordered, everyone of them are yellow. I have emailed the company with regards to the failure and colour of the bulbs but I have had no response. I am going to be in touch with my bank in seeing what they can do to refund my purchase as it is nothing like what I ordered. I SERIOUSLY DON'T RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

Wish we had seen the postings here before buying astibes from 'bulb1' on eBay.
Bare root plants arrived dry and shrivelled, but were quickly watered and potted up. But only two recovered.
Contact ignored.
Shame really, we are just starting a new half acre garden from scratch and looking to fill it with planting (no lawns).

Black iris plant delivered today in excellent condition.

Bought on Etsy at a very reasonable price.

Received what were supposed to be 6 hosta roots dry and completely shrivelled wish I had seen these reviews before I purchased have left message for supplier let's see what happens next

Bare rooted plant arrived looking very dry and shrivelled.
Soaked in water as instructed before planting. After 3 weeks, no signs of any growth, despite watering when required. Returned to seller.Refund received.
Disappointing to receive a dead plant...
Plant was not viable imo.

As many have stated, ordered through Ebay in faith that what I'd ordered would be what i got (not unreasonable, right?!).
How wrong! Ordered a double white peony, a one I'd specifically searched for. What i got is a single pink.
Absolutely no customer service whatsoever, completely ignored my emails. No comeback through PayPal or Ebay because it's outside their time limits. I would absolutely avoid them.

Like many on here and Google reviews I have been disappointed by the quality of what I received. I bought 100 Ranunculus bulbs from a their ebay storefront bulb. When I received them, they looked in a very poor state – dried, disintegrating, dull, but I decided to give them a go. I planted them in accordance with guidance form all around the web which is to soak and then plant in autumn and put in a cold frame. The bible of planting, Royal Horticulture Society(RHS) confirms it.
Out of the 100 bulbs I planted, only two weak ones sprouted at all. I contacted Garthwaite nurseries and like many disappointed people on Trustpilot, got short shrift from them deflecting any responsibility saying “its still early from them” – not true. The two that sprouted did so 2 weeks ago and then they claimed “not in a cold frame, they need frost & cold”. Firstly everyone says in a cold frame, including RHS, plus a cold frame is cold – they have been outside all winter. I asked for a replacent or refund which they ignored.

Lovely Xmas Wreath as pictured
Packaged well.Would order again from same company for other items if required
