Comments regarding Henry Field's Seed & Nursery

I have ordered for years - no problems, This time I ordered 2 thornless blackberries and fertilizer - they just arrived - best packaging ever - roots have straw inside plastic bag - labeled very well - one even has green leaves on it. Now soaking for 2 hrs - lovely plants. Thanks.

I ordered three plants late in the season in 2015. All were received in good condition and thrived.

So far-- I have received a dormant bush apricot, adequately packed (although might have been inadequate if in transit for several more days) in very good condition and much larger than I expected. Too early to plant due to our prolonged very cold winter so I am holding it in my compost pile until spring decides to stay. I was notified when it shipped and was able to follow the tracking.

I have several other items still to ship, tropicals that need to wait for warmer weather. I am a little concerned because one of the sister companies is showing that 2 of the items are "sold out". But I will wait to see what happens and update this review.

I'm going to rate positive for now. I ordered tendersweet carrots described as being 1500 seeds per packet. I made some seed tapes and ran out of seeds pretty quick so I counted and found I only had 108 seeds. I understand stuff happens. I have e-mailed customer service and got what I assume is an automated response within 15 minutes. I checked a lettuce packet that indicated 1000 seeds and it sure looked like 1000. So hopefully the carrots are just a fluke. I ordered from them last year with no problems. I'll wait and see.

After getting a bum deal from summerstone (aka bummerstone), I was a bit gun shy to order online again. I took a chance with Henry Fields--their prices were not rediculously low so I figured they actually had sellable stock. I ordered a Pristine apple (standard) and a Stella Cherry (standard) and received both within 10 days of ordering.
The distribution of the wadding/packing material for the roots could have been more uniform--one tree got the lions share of the wet excelsior. So far the pristine apple has sprouted from dormancy so I have a co-pollinator for my beverly hills apple acquired from Lowes a few months back. The cherry looks promising and if you nick the bark with your thumbnail the wood is green beneath the surface. Both trees were soaked for 4 hours in a water bucket then place in large containers with commercial potting soil (Kellogs) to start them. I always wait for activity then commit them to ground planting

I recently purchased 3 Trillium plants. There was much confusion regarding my payment resulting in my being charged twice for the products. I called HF and was told, more or less, to prove I had been charged twice. I then called my bank and they promptly removed the extra charge.

The plants arrived and they are thriving and one even bloomed within a week!

Field's customer service sucks but the merchandise was great.

I ordered an apple tree and a hazelnut. They were shipped in the same package. The apple tree arrived in excellent condition and was the size advertised. They hazelnut arrived with the shredded paper surrounding the roots totally dry, probably due to the time it took to ship from one greenhouse to the other so both would be shipped together. I e-mailed customer service and got a response within 24 hours. They apologized and said a replacement would be shipped within 10 days. I received a healthy plant to replace the dry one. I am very pleased with their customer service.

I ordered an Isaiah Hardy Kiwi from Henry Fields and when it arrived the box was damaged and the plant was dislodged out of it's dirt. I planted it in hopes of maybe it would revive but it did not. I have emailed Henry Fields twice about it and they have not responded. I guess I will use another company from now on. I have been using Henry Fields for years and I hate to stop because usually it is a quality product.

"On Jun 5, 2012 11:29 AM, Henry Field's Seed & Nursery responded with:

We appreciate you letting us know of the problems you had with your plant. I apologize your email has not been answered. One of our customer service representatives will be contacting you for your account information and we can refund or reship, whichever you prefer.

"

I ordered Violet and Silverbelle Chocolate Vines.

The Silverbelle came looking very healthy. A good size little plant for the very low cost.

The Violet was less than 1/2 the size. It was green and leafy, but didn't stay that way and died quickly.

I sent them a message via their website, and they mailed a replacement immediately, no questions asked. The replacement looks about the same size, but hasn't died yet.

So I'm very happy with their service and their prices. Obviously the plants could be a bit bigger, but mine were better than I expected given the cost and the number of negative reviews here.

Would buy from here again.

I have received great plants and excellent customer service from Henry Fields. If you don't know how to plant just call and they will research and tell you. I had only one item (rhubarb) that was questionable and I planted it. When more than enough time had gone by I contacted them by phone and yes was answered by someone that was just a little hard to understand but was given the option of receiving a new plant when they were available or a refund. I chose the refund since I wanted to get the rhubarb in the ground. I don't think you can have better service than that. I give them an A.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our company. Happy Gardening!"

In early 2011, I ordered an apple tree and an apricot tree from Henry Fields for a work related project. I had read the mixed reviews on this site and my expectations were low, really low. Anyways, I've been pleasantly surprised by this company.

The prices for the trees are high for what you get (~$22 for a two foot stick), but the shipping prices are fantastic. The apple tree was shipped in the spring and the apricot tree shipped in the fall, but shipping for my order was just $10. That's TEN TOTAL...for both shipments.

The apple tree, despite starting tiny, has done well this year and put on some growth. The apricot was shipped in a tiny pot, so I expect it will do pretty well.

While I'd still choose Adams County Nursery or C&O Nursery over Henry Fields any day of the week for multiple tree orders, I'd definitely consider Henry Fields again if I was looking for a single tree.

Thank you very much for your testimonial. We really appreciate the feedback."

I got an end-of-season email that advertised $200 worth of grab bag plants for $20. Since the shipping was based on the $20, I figured I couldn't go far wrong, so I went ahead and placed an order.

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive an order that would have been over $220 based on their retail prices on the website. The plants were healthy. Amongst other items, I received six mini roses and one of them was in bloom! I also got a bag of bulbs, which was unexpected since the ad said "plants". That's not a complaint, though, just an observation. I ended up with six roses, 2 dwarf burning bushes, 3 dinnerplate dahlias, 3 black eyed susans, 4 pineapple plants, the lily bulbs, and a couple other things, all for $26.94 including shipping. If you have a place for whatever comes along, this would be a great way to fill up some space. I'll order again next year if I get a similar offer, since I have more space than $$.

"On Jul 5, 2011 3:16 PM, Henry Field's Seed & Nursery responded with:

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you letting us know about the plants and value you received from our company. We look forward to many future orders."

I ordered 2 of the grab bags this year (2011) and was a bit disappointed that a lot of the plants were zone 9-10 as I'm in zone 5. The plants were healthy and I planted the few that were suitable for my zone outdoors and the rest I will try to use as house plants but really would have preferred that they had been organized by zones before packing. But I guess if it's a grab bag there's no sorting out by zone. Overall it was a good value but I wish there were more plants I could have used for the garden.

"On Jun 29, 2011 1:01 PM, Henry Field's Seed & Nursery responded with:

Thank you for sharing your idea about the grab bags. We are looking into changing the grab bags to be more zone specific next season."

Have ordered several times this year. All orders arrived in a timely fashion and all items were as expected. The most fun was the $200.00 grab bag for $19.99. What a nice selection of plants. All were in good shape for an end of season sale. Actually, they were much better than I expected. All are doing very well.

Henry Fields-one of my FAVORITES! I don't know what is not to like about them-----Every plant that I have received from them has done well, I appreciate the fact that they do send an order confirmation, the plants are shipped with care and don't sit at the post office,and, that Henry Fields is always coming up with new varieties. I have ordered carmine jewel bushes, sugar pearls and sundance apple, among others. Will update upon arrival. As you can tell from my numerous posts, I LOVE gardening.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We do offer quality plants and great customer service. We are always here to help you with all your gardening needs."

I ordered a grapevine and an apple tree using an internet coupon. Without the coupon I would have thought them a bit overpriced, but with the coupon they were an excellent deal. They shipped separately and were both well-packed (the apple tree may have been overpacked, actually - the box was huge!). The grape arrived first and began pushing buds almost as soon as I planted it in a container. The apple is a grafted whip and the graft is solid. The rootstock is 1/2-3/4" diameter and the scion is 1/4-1/2". I can't remember precisely how tall it was as I cut it back to about 30". I have it in a container and it is leafing out beautifully. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase from Henry Field's.

Recently I ordered two Lilac bushes. They were shipped in a timely manner. The five inch pots were inside plastic bags with ties and then inside cardboard square tubes. The plants were very healthy and big! I have purchased from them before also and have never had a problem.

Thank you very much for your nice feeedback. We always want our customers to be happy and to receive top quality plants."

Summer, 2010, I recieved a variety of seeds and perennials and have been pleased with the results in the vegetable garden and in the beds this spring--everything is returning happily. Henry Field's' prices are good and their shipping and packaging are okay, too.

"On May 11, 2011 9:50 AM, Henry Field's Seed & Nursery responded with:

Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to serving you in the future."

On February 2, 2011, I ordered these items:

HENRY FIELD'S FRUIT TREE FOOD

GARDEN SOLUTIONS TREE & SHRUB CONTR

HENRY FIELD'S STRAWBERRY FOOD

DEER SCRAM

HENRY FIELD'S PLANT FOOD

JACKMANII HYBRID CLEMATIS

It is too soon to comment on how well I like all of the products; however, I can say that I received all items promptly, and the jackmanii clematis arrived in good shape, the soil was still moist, and it was about a foot tall. So far, I'm happy with the clematis. It has grown. I'm familiar with this type of clematis and know it is beautiful, so I'm looking forward to it blooming.

When I ordered from this company in the past, I was pleased. I get a lot of catalogs from different nursery companies, and I ordered from them this year because there was a good coupon in their catalog. You might want to get on their mailing list for their coupon.

Sorry to hear about your bad expierience with Henry Fields.
I have ordered many things from them in the past: Shrubs, mini-roses, Helebores, perennials, bulbs, and a long time ago a garden chemical or 2 (?).
Unlike some other growers, they seem to take care that their bare root items will arrive in a not-too-wet not-too-dry condition. That ain't easy.
I have always noted the good quality of their plants, shipping, prices and service. Fact is, outside of asking about item availability, I have never had to deal with their "Customer service".
If Henry Fields has any items of interest to me in the future, I will have no second thoughts about ordering from them again.

Buyer, be ware! I received a catalog from this company with a $25.00 off coupon with purchase of $25.00 or more in additional products. I entered my order on line and enter the codes for the account and key code required. On the order status at that point the order showed the discount. When I submitted the order the $25.00 discount has disappeared. I immediately tried to contact the company and was told no order had been made by me and that I could reenter the order. Later, with a confirmation number I called back and was told that two packets of seed that I had ordered at 75 cents and $1.49 made my order total invalid because they were on sale and that constituted an additional offer. I could understand the coupon and the free shipping offer sent by email being two separate offers, but purchasing an item marked as on sale should not be considered a separate offer. When I threatened to cancel the entire order, Kim checked with her supervisor further running up the cost of minutes on my cell, and then allowed me the coupon discount. Had I not looked carefully at my confirmation I would have lost greater than the $25.00 from the coupon and the total would appear on my credit card. I seriously doubt I would do business with this company again, because Kim was rude and I felt the advertising on the coupon was false. I have done business with this company in the past, and was sent a coupon for merchandise that was out of stock and would no longer be offered. To be honest, I never used the coupon because of the rudeness of the customer service representative at that time. ( Until this incident I had forgotten about the previous experience.and found in a review of my garden journal.)

"On Feb 15, 2011 10:22 AM, Henry Field's Seed & Nursery responded with:

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the rudeness of our representatives. We will research your account and find the agents involved and use this to ensure they receive training/coaching needed. A customer service representative will be contacting you for your account information.

I recently started ordering from this company. And although not everything is perfect with them, company really does its' best to make it right.
Orders arrive at estimated delivery dates, and plants are mostly in a great condition. Some of ordered by me plants were not doing well at all (flowering quince, for instance). However, when I requested replacement or exchange, customer service representative was very helpful, and patient with me. I am getting my replacement next spring.
When HF was out of stock for fern-leaf bleeding hearts, I've got a great replacement, and a $5 off coupon for my next purchase.
Couple of days ago, I had requested to rush some plants for delivery, instead of waiting for their estimated dates of shipment (due to my area's weather condition). Customer service representative informed me of shipment the very next day. That is an awesome service! Thanks, Henry Field Co!

I recently received 12 sweet potato plants from Henry Fields and was extremely shocked at their poor condition. However, the enclosed information leaflet explained that this could be the case, and not to worry. So against my better judgement I went ahead and planted them. About half have died, and some of those remaining aren't looking too happy either. I've just emailed the company to express my disappointment, and a few moments later I came across Dave's Garden and this review section for Henry Fields. I was going to write a "negative", but after reading many of the other reviews where they state that Henry Fields have been good about replacing poor quality products, I'll hold my counsel, vote "neutral" for the moment, and see what happens when they reply to my email.

"On May 24, 2010 2:46 PM, Henry Field's Seed & Nursery responded with:

Thank you for taking the time to post. We appreciate your feedback to better serve our customers. A customer service representative will be contacting you for your account information to take care of the reshipment for you."

I think I've ordered from either this company or one of the affiliated ones in the past....For the life of me, I cannot recall what It was or when, but I was weary of ordering, even given the product and offer I found.

I hesitantly ordered a Carmine Jewel Cherry a little over 3 weeks ago. The plant arrived a little more than a week later. It was very well packed and a great specimen (a little larger than I had been expecting in fact). I was a little worried when I popped the plant from the pot and noticed how tightly packed the roots were in the pot, but I've planted it into a larger pot and sank the pot into my little encouragement nursery area. Its put on new growth already and seems to be doing quite well.

Given this single plant order, I would consider looking through the catalog in the future and hope that any future orders I place through Henry Fields are every bit as good as this one.

Well done Henry Field's.

I ordered 2 honeyberries and 2 goji berries. Though small, the plants arrived with good root systems. There was a change of order on my end (wanted to swap a huckleberry for a honeyberry) after a initial balk on their end, they did come through & change the order. That was very appreciated. Also they must be affliated with Gurney's, as I recieved my order of elderberry, potato seeds,& blueberry on same day & the boxes were the same. Also the blueberry was ordered as a add on through H.Fields but invoiced and recieved through Gurneys. Makes no real differance to me as the plant selection was good, price good, and most important the plants look good. But I do find it strange they have the same company under differant names. I will order from them again.

"On Mar 19, 2010 11:22 AM, Henry Field's Seed & Nursery responded with:

Thank you for providing testimony on our plants. And, we do pride ourselves on our lifetime guarantee and our customer service "If you are not happy with any item you order from us, or any item does not grow and flourish to your complete satisfaction notify us anytime for a reship, replacement certificate or refund, whichever you prefer. Also, Gurney's is one of our sister companies Thank you and Happy Gardening!"

I must say I am surprised by all the negative comments. I have used Henry Fields for awhile. I have also on occassion used other non-Henry Fields affiliates. The customer service just doesn't compare. My seeds are always on time. My live plants are always on time and usually healthy. If something happens, they replace the item no questions asked.

This year I recieved a surprise order of Brandywine Tomatoes. When I called they explained they were replacements for the 4 that didn't make it last year. They sent six new brandywines to replace four when they had already sent six early girls to replace two that were damaged in shipping on that order.

They also replaced trees for me this year. They are always friendly. Once in a great while you get a representative that may not know an answer, but will find out. I have always been able to get information that I have requested.

My seeds are always excellent, I can honestly say I have never had germination issues, or stunted growth from my seeds. All I can really say is "Thank you, Henry Fields for allowing me to enjoy gardening"

I am so pleased with them that I pretty much buy exclusively from them now. Only on rare occasion do I go somewhere else for mail order because when I do, I just don't get the same service.

I've purchased from Henry Field's, Spring Hill, Breck's, Michigan Bulb and Gurney's several times. Sometimes the plants do not look good when they arrive, or for some unkown reasons plants just don't grow. When that happen, I just have to drop them an email asking for a replacement. No question asked. It's that easy. Last time I got three Hybrid Lily Tree instead of three Japanese Iris I ordered. Don't worry, I got to keep those three Hybrid Lily Tree for free and they sent out the right order to me right away.

Some other online nursery I've purchased from even asked for an original shipping label to be send back by regular US mail in order to excercise their one year warranty. I have not used regular US mail for a long time that I have to check the current postage for 1st class mail.

Henry Field's lifetime guarantee really gives me peace of mind. In fact I just got my replacement daylily from one of their affiliated company Spring Hill today. What a nice policy. I will give them two thumbs up for this. Keep up the good work.

I have never ordered from Henry Field’s Seed and Nursery before, but they were one of only a few on line nurseries that had a verity of black berry I was looking for. I found that they had the Lock Ness Blackberry and I wanted that type. I ordered 2 plants from them. They were a little pricy but I figured I would try them out. They are affiliated with Gurney’s and I have bought from them before. I like their guarantee. I ordered the plants in January and asked that they be send at the appropriate planting time for my area. I received an email notifying me that they were shipped and when to expect them. The arrived at the appropriate at time and were packaged very well, but one of the plants had been waterlogged and the roots were rotting and the leaves were brown and slimy. I called them immediately and told them about it. They offered to replace it at that time, but I told them I would try and revive it. After 2 weeks it was rally dead so I called them back. I spoke to someone from the United States who was very professional, courteous and responsive to me concerns. She stated that they would replace it immediately and I would receive my plant within a week. I thanked her and ended the call. Within an hour of that call I have a email confirmation of my replacement and the approximate date that I could expect the delivery. I know that Henry Field’s Seed and Nursery are a little more expensive them some on line nurseries, but I really appreciate the no hassle life time guarantee that they offer. It is worth it to me to know that if something ever goes wrong they will give me credit, replace or refund my purchase. When I pay the extra it is for the peace of mind.

I ordered 3 orange phlox bare root form them they shipped as stated in my invoice and plants arrived on time and in good condition with visible live growth. I was afraid to order anymore and missed out on the $25.00 dollars off an order of 50.00 due to the bad feedback on them. I hope they are focusing on the customer feedback and trying to improve their serves. I will order from them again. I was very happy with my order. I have learned customer feedback is very important and have learned from others peoples past bad experience that have also been mine with other companies.

This is the first time I have ordered from this company. I was seaching specifically for pole lima bean seed. I ordered some lima seed plus several packets of lettuce seed. I received an online acknowledgment of the order, plus an email notice that the order had been sent.
The seed arrived a few days later. The order was handled in an timely and efficient manner.

I've ordered from them lots of times and will order again. Sure they do run out of trees sometimes but then I figure that means I have ordered an item that is very popular! I have excellent taste! :) I can understand running out of an item.

The plants and trees I have recieved all been healthy when I got them and the ones that did die were replaced very fast. I can't complain! Overall I give them a huge thumbs up! Even the red rose I ordered that bloomed lavender was replaced! In fact I'm waiting for my two peach trees and some other items to be delivered anytime! I know they will arrive and that they will be nice looking and ready to go in the ground and make our place look wonderful! And next year I'll try again for my oak trees they ran out of! I know they will be worth the wait.

I started out very apprehensive about ordering from them, based on all the negative reviews here. But I really wanted a Carmine Jewel bush cherry and they had a 50% off coupon as well. I crossed my fingers and took a chance. This was back in February.

I ordered the bush cherry mentioned, june-bearing strawberries that were buy 25, get 25 free, and raspberries that were buy 3, get 3 free. I got a confirmation email immediately, including the link/info on how to check order status whenever I wanted.

Early this month, I received a shipping confirmation email for the bush cherry and strawberries. I was able to link to tracking the shipped package but I didn't really need to, the package arrived 2 days after the email did.

The bush cherry was small. I mean, small. I would have probably been upset had I paid the full $29.95 for it. It was really healthy though. I planted it 2 weeks ago and it's shot up almost 12 inches. No fooling.

The strawberries came through a brief snowfall and plodding dogs and are growing well.

The raspberries came about a week after the first package did. Again I received a shipping confirmation email and again while able to track it, the package arrived in 2 days.

Three of the raspberries were large and had broken dormancy. The other three were about half the size but what can you say about something free? I planted them all.

Today I noticed that 2 of the 3 smaller ones had no signs of life whatsoever. I called Henry Field's and got through to someone right away. She was very friendly, advised me that the type of raspberry I ordered was no longer in stock, and could she replace them with another popular variety. We chatted briefly and that was that. Again I received a confirmation email (showing $0.00 for the replacement 3) with an estimated ship time of 5/04.

I'm really trying to find a reason to be unhappy with my experience, but honestly, there wasn't one. I'm very pleased from start to finish.

Ordered 2 dwarf citrus trees and 2 bare root fruit trees everything arrived promptly and in good condition. Plus extra!! Staff was very pleasant and helpful over phone. Will order again.

I ordered almost all of my seeds this year from Henry Fields.
My seeds arrived within a couple of weeks, and everything was in my order. I will have to wait to see how they germinate, I already have the tomato and pepper seeds planted. Great service and I will order from them again. I have purchased from them in the past and never had any problems.

Last year I ordered seeds and 3 year old asparagus crowns from Henry Field's, even though I lost 5 of my gus crowns the rest did great and produced gus a few months after I planted them. I was not able to call the company about the 5 crowns that did not come up due to spinal surgery and being laid up for 8 months. This year I just ordered seeds from HF and received them quickly. I plan on ordering 200 sweet potato slips in the next few weeks from HF and have always been happy with their products. I have already sown spinach, brocc and lettuces from the seeds I just ordered a couple weeks ago, and they all germinated with in 5 days, wonderful!

Thank you HF.

I made a large order early in spring. I had ordered one of their specials on raspberry plants, buy 1 (set of 3), get one free. Both sets looked decent but only 1 set of 3 plants leafed out. I emailed and got prompt service and was shipped 3 more plants to replace them. The replacements were of even better quality (larger, too) than the original. All bulbs and rootstock were great, too. I would order again.

Near the end of April 2008 I decided to order from Henry Fields. I ordered 2 Female Arctic Beauty Kiwi plants and 1 Male Arctic Beauty Kiwi plant. It is now May 6th and I received my plants today. They came quickly and were healthy. I would buy from Henry Fields again.

I have ordered five Walker's Low catmints. The plants have arrived quickly. They were dormant roots in a bag. I planted them two days later and in a few days they were all showing green growth. The price was definately a bargain, and yet, they're growing nicely. I will order from this company again in the future.

I placed an order with Henry Fields for the first time this year. My parents got a glimpse of the catalog, and picked out some seeds and tomato food they wanted to try in the garden, and since i had a $25 coupon, I ordered enough to get the discount.

I don't know how the seeds and tomato food are doing as of yet, however the angel trumpets and the rose bush I ordered for myself are doing wonderfully! The angel trumpets arrived in a very protective package to keep the plants from getting crushed. They were also very healthy plants. One came with out any leaves to speak of...however within less than two days, new leaves were sprouting. I have since put them in their own large pots, and they are doing great!

The rosebush was bareroot, and I followed instructions to the letter of soaking it and planting it, and it is shooting out new leaves all over! I can't wait to see the blooms!

I would order from this company again.
