Ordered Clematis Rain Dance (an amazing non-vining plant) way back during winter; originally scheduled to ship May, due to my schedule I asked them to ship earlier; Josh was very prompt with correspondence and explained things well (such as the plant being dormant), then shipped the plant at my request; plant arrived in excellent shape, looks healthy and root system well developed. Very happy with experience with In The Country Garden, thank you!

Ordered 5 hostas on July 25 they arrived July 31. They were individually wrapped and packed very well. All were good sized plants for their variety and in good condition. Will be buying more plants in the future.

Ordered two mangaves. First shipment: one mangave & one something else with same common name "Spotty Dotty" as missing item. Emailed Country Garden & Gifts with photo of incorrect item and they re-shipped correct item, Mangave "Spotty Dotty". Ultimately, all (3) items were spectacular specimens & VERY well-packed. Customer service excellent.

The perennials I ordered arrived well packaged and lively. I appreciated the full-sized markers that came with each plant. The selection on the website is simple but unique and you don't have to dig for the growing specs. I received a prompt order confirmation and also multiple shipping updates, which I appreciated. The plants were shipped USPS which said the plants were to arrive on a Saturday but were actually delivered the Thursday before.

I am so pleased with the hostas I received from In the Country Garden & Gifts! Shopping the online catalog was a breeze, the personalized service was excellent, and the hostas arrived in perfect condition-- ready-to-plant with beautiful root systems. Many thanks to Josh and the rest of the staff at In the Country Garden & Gifts!!

Posted on July 29, 2019, updated August 9, 2019 I am surprised to see so many positive reviews here. I hope my experience was an anomaly. In June I received two varieties of sempervivum. They were badly packaged and arrived in sad shape, with soggy newspaper and broken plant pieces. I have ordered from various mail order nurseries over the past couple of years, and this was the worst I've seen. The $9.00 'Gold Nugget' I had been waiting for arrived small, shriveled, and promptly died. The 'Peggy' plants pulled through for the most part, but all in all I was disappointed with what I received and I will not order from them again.


On August 9th, 2019, Trayce2 changed the rating from negative to positive and added the following: Josh from In the Country Garden & Gifts contacted me immediately after reading the complaint I had and offered to correct the problem, either through replacement or refund. I asked for a replacement, and he promptly shipped a beautiful little perfectly formed specimen Gold Nugget. I appreciate his attention to customer service and am hopeful about this new plant. Thank you, Josh!

On Jul 30, 2019 4:49 PM, In The Country Garden & Gifts responded with:

I'm sorry to hear your sempervivums arrived in poor shape! Looks like your order shipped the end of May, amidst weeks of relentless rain here in Iowa. Unfortunately, it was challenging to find stretches of dry weather this spring to ship these moisture sensitive plants. I do wish you had contacted me immediately, so we could have made things right long before now! Please email me, so we can make this right: info@inthecountrygardenandgifts.com

Ordered a couple of Dicentra (white gold). Josh suggested waiting a few weeks for the plants to get a bit bigger for shipping. I was not disappointed...they came through in great shape and have been doing well in the garden for a few weeks now. I will be ordering again from them. If they have what you want/need I'd put them up there with the top five mail order companies I routinely deal with.

Have ordered Hosta over the last four years. The healthiest plants I've ever received come from here. I've received some very nice multi-eyed plants from recent releases. New releases are typically a single eye, but a strong healthy root system gets the plant off to a great start. Excellent packing that withstands typical mail system abuse. Lately, Iowa weather hasn't cooperated with early spring shipping.

It's refreshing to know that with "In the Country Garden and Gifts", I have a reliable source for ordering plants online at a reasonable price. With Josh, I don't have to worry about whether I'm going to receive healthy plants, or plants that are true to type. Everything I ordered arrived in good shape, well-packaged and properly LABELED. When I had questions and emailed Josh, he actually responded...in person...and went out of his way to help me. I've had mixed success in the past with other online nurseries, but I have no reservations about buying here again.

Posted on July 3, 2017, updated June 1, 2018 I have made several orders with Josh in the past and have also purchased from him at Hosta Conventions. Always has large quality plants and terrific customer service! A bid selection is always nice too. He helped secure a large order of the hosta 'Frank Lloyd Wright' for out local Hosta Society to donate to The Allen House (a premiere FLW Prairie Style home) here in Wichita KS. They were thrilled to receive them and even mentioned them on a local news broadcast. You can't go wrong dealing with these fine folks from Iowa!


On June 1st, 2018, kansasgardenguy added the following: Received yet another order from In The Country Garden & Gifts, I was 100% pleased with it when I had unpacked it. They do a great job in preparing the plants for shipment and always include a detailed invoice of your order - sometimes I order so much from so many people that I forget who I bought what from. Bottom line: buy with confidence!

I just ordered one plant, and it arrived today. Its roots were well protected in plastic, and the plant was wrapped in newspaper and cushioned by more newspaper. It is very healthy and was all leafed out. It was in transit for two days, so I planted it right away. I had ordered other plants from *another* mail-order company, but they were sent out too early and I had to hold them in the basement for a couple of weeks, which was hard on them. I will certainly keep Dave's in mind when I order again!

Posted on May 27, 2011, updated June 2, 2017 Normally I purchase from my local nursery, but have found when I need to find plant material that is different and unique I have to expand my horizons. I have been watching the "In the Country Garden" site for quite awhile and liked the variety of plant material. When I finally decided to place my order, I asked if it was possible to get them delivered during the last week in May, since my order was placed on the 17th of May..I thought I might be pushing it. My plants arrived on the 25th of May! The plants looked in great shape, with a nice root ball attached. Additionally when I asked a question of Josh, he responded promptly and accurately. I will be placing more orders in the future.


On June 2nd, 2017, iceman49 added the following: I had been looking for a Podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty,' for a fe years, but wanted a reasonable price and from a nursery that I knew would ship the plant ready to go out of the box so to speak. Returned to my favorite Hosta place, "In the Country Garden and Gifts. Josh the proprietor and his staff have always been friendly and efficient. I ordered the Podophyllum, "One Last Dance" hosta and 2 Thailand Giants. Josh and his team send an acknowledgment email of purchase, an email letting you know the package has been shipped and when it should arrive. The plants were very well packed, with great root system, I put them in the ground and containers and they look like they have not missed a day being out of the soil. Great plants in great condition. Cannot say enough good things about In the Country Garden and Gifts!

Today my plant arrived from In The Country Garden and Gifts. I have known Josh Spece for quite a few years, and I have bought plants from him at conventions, but this was my first experience buying a plant from him through the mail. I love the plant!! It is beautiful and large. I was surprised how nice it is for so late in the season!! I ordered the plant on Saturday and it was shipped the very same day, in spite of it being a holiday weekend. It arrived on Tuesday which was wonderful. I have already planted it. I will buy from Josh again and again. This company is wonderful!! Thanks, Josh!!

Just recieved my plants today, first time ordering from this nursery. I was browsing for something else when I noticed they had Spilt Milk in stock. I've been looking for this variety for years. It's hard to find, and when you do the nursery is often sold out from back orders before they even list it. The first indication I was going to be happy was the 'do it yourself' recycled shipping box- don't know why, but that always seems to be an indication of 'good things inside'! My babies were well-wrapped in newspaper, with the generous sized rootballs in damp paper and protective plastic bags. The hostas were all very well leafed out, with multiple crowns, except for the Sum and Substance. That had only 1 crown as you would expect for such a huge variety, but it was heavy and wide, with 9 good-sized leaves! 2 of the 3 dwarf solomon's seals had multiple crowns. The 3rd only had 1 crown but when I checked the rootball it was loaded with new runners all the way around! By the end of this season it should be even fuller than the other multiple crowned ones! Everything about this order, from plant selection to packing, indicated thoughtful attention. I thought I had already found my ultimate hosta source; now I have two!

I received a gift from this nursery and was very pleased! Nicely rooted plants, one was even in full bloom.

I've purchased beautiful hostas from In the Country Gardens, both from the nursery and via mail order. They are extremely helpful, friendly, and have a great selection of classic and new varieties. I also really enjoy their website which is easy to navigate and is filled with a wealth of helpful information about hosta growing. My recent order arrived in 2 days, after a notification of when it was shipped so I could be ready, very carefully packed with the generous sized plants, some with several eyes, in perfect condition, very abundant roots, ready to thrive! I couldn't recommend them any more highly!

I've set up this login just so I can comment on In the Country. I saw a plant called Albuca spiralis Frizzle Sizzle at the Tower Hill Botanic Garden here in Massachusetts, and I had to have one. Google found just a couple of vendors, and I liked In the Country's web site, so that's who I ordered from. Almost immediately, I got a polite inquiry from Josh thanking me for the order and asking how I had happened to find him. That impressed me. The plant came today, and wow, now I'm really impressed! Beautifully packed, in perfect condition, larger than I expected and with a large spike, ready to flower. I am really happy, and I'll continue to rely on In the Country for new plants (and will tell my friends the same).

Posted on May 28, 2014, updated June 2, 2014 Posted on May 23, 2014, updated May 28, 2014 I placed my first order on Wednesday, May 14th. Though I was told today (May 23rd) when I called that they usually ship on Fridays and Mondays (I believe that's what she said), my order had still not shipped - 'processing' is what my account still showed. It's the holiday weekend now, so I was told my order would have to wait until this coming Tuesday to ship, so May 27th it would finally be on its way to me, almost 2 weeks after my order was first placed - unless I wanted the plants to sit an extra day and have her ship Saturday over the holiday weekend. When I asked why my order hadn't shipped sooner since my order had been placed on Wednesday over a week ago, the woman got a little snappy with me explaining that they had 60 orders they had to get out. She was very impatient with me as I tried to decide whether she should ship now or wait, and from all these glowing reviews I'm still scratching my head? I'm giving them a 'neutral' in hopes that at least their plants are nice. They'll have to be REALLY nice though or hard-to-find for me to consider ordering from this nursery again. Santa Rosa Gardens is still the best online nursery out there - nice plants, timely shipping, great sales, and most importantly, courteous customer service. They never make me feel like I'm just a number amidst 59 others.

I surely didn't expect that, thought I'd read something wrong, and I feel that was a wonderful gesture for you to have gone out of your way, above and beyond to apologize like that. As I already said in my updated review, the plants I received from you were healthy, beautiful, and carefully packaged. That coupled with a VERY sincere apology means I will probably purchase from you again in the future, once I find room for all these plants. Thank you again! Excellent customer service - I stand corrected.

I had a terrible experience with ordering plants though the mail and made the decision that I would never put myself in that position again however I am addicted to heuchera and the beautiful new varieties that I could only obtain by ordering online/ mail finally got the best of me!!! I searched forever looking for someone that I could count on and decided on josh from in the country garden and gifts. I could not have made a better decision and if there were a higher rating I would give it to him ! I order14 heuchera in December - I travel for work so I asked if I could be notified when my order was shipped- not only did I receive an email from josh when my order shipped but I received an email from" the package" every time it moved through the system( 10 in total!) When the mail carrier approached my door with the package it was completely smashed- the top of the box was ripped open and the bottom almost torn off- he commented" I don't know what is this box but it doesn't look good!!!" before I opened the box I took several pictures knowing what I found inside would probably be a problem....when I opened the box I found fresh beautiful healthy plants( two that were on the crushed corner a little worse for wear) I was thrilled- so much time and effort had been put forth in wrapping these plants that they not only survived what must have been a very hectic trip from Iowa but even though the box they were in was so damaged they were still in excellent condition- but what impressed me most was I emailed josh pictures of the unopened box and mention the two plants that were a little crushed- just so he would know how the box had been handled( when I ordered a $200 +in the past from another company the box showed up late in the season even though I had ordered in midwinter full of not dying but dead scraps/ crap!- emails- phone calls-letters went unanswered- I never to this day two years later receive any response- I got not one live plant for my $200+ order!) within minutes!! I received a phone call from Josh !!! He was kind- helpful- offering to replace any plants that were damaged( the two in question were so healthy when they left Iowa that I am sure a little tlc will get them back to 100% in no time!) I could tell you a million things wrong with the last company I used( in fact I did!!!)- I could tell you a million GOOD things about this company and I can assure you that this will be my go to company every time my heuchera addiction acts up!!!! my faith has been restored that there are honest reliable people out there that can provide us with quality healthy plants!!!

I have bought a lot of plants over the internet over the past years. I have almost always had a problem with some of the plants I received. Either dead ,almost dead or crushed and the soil dry. When I received my plants from this company(In The Country Garden & Gifts), I was very pleased to open the package and find the plants of a very nice size in excellent condition and all intact.

The plants I received were way overpriced. No one would have bought those plants for that price had they seen them in person. I bought two hosta that were barely more than tissue cultures and were, with shipping, $25.00 each. Although the pots were removed, one was about 1.75 inches, the other was about 2.25 inches square. They were about 6" tall. They weren't new, exclusive varieties, either. They were in good condition when they arrived. I will not buy from them again.

I am a repeat customer and received my Heuchera and Heucherella order of 6 yesterday and am VERY pleased with my order, again. The plants were well packed, a very nice size and healthy. They were still moist in all this heat and that is a plus, no wilting at all. There is great communication, a big plus. Thank you so much In the Country Garden and you too Josh.... Now if you guys would only open a branch down here in MS.... ;)

My first experience was great! Everything was well packed, nice sized and very healthy. Two thumbs up and I would order again! Thanks so much!
