Very happy with items. Great service as always!
Received my crocosmia bulbs will update when growing. Great service as always
Very happy regarding the montbretia bulbs I have received - four days from the date of ordering. The bulbs are in excellent condition and I shall be planting them this week. I purchased 20 bulbs which cost €3.29 for 10, Shipping €4.95. Very reasonable price, given that woodies.ie are charging €12 for a pack of 10. I'll certainly be coming back to the garden shop.ie to make some further purchases to send to my Mother for Mother's day. Well done @gardenshop.
Best regards,
Thelma
Received my package this morning, earlier than expected but brilliant. Looking forward to planting at the weekend and hopefully Summer will bring plenty of colour to my garden.
