Comments regarding Secret Garden Rare Plants

SECRET GARDEN RARE PLANTS
Positive Plus for this store.

I received my order in 3 days from ordering. Without a doubt the best plants I have received by mail-order. Many not so easy to obtain species.

Their packing and well rooted plants was great, the shipping box showed rough handling some of the plastic pots where cracked but the plants and there soil was still intact.

If you want something beautiful, expertly grown, and the nicest plant you will ever receive place your order with SECRET GARDEN RARE PLANTS.

Received a nice sized, Hoya Kerrii Reverse variegation..
Pot is loaded w/foliage, and plant was true to its picture..I ordered via Ebay, recently discovering the seller was affilated with Secret Gardens Nursery.
Plant was well-packaged..No rips or bent leaves.
Considering this plant is reverse in color, a rarity, pricing was fair.
I've ordered from SG's in the past and never had any bad experiences. Will order again..

I ordered off ebay after checking here first. Plant came quickly was well packaged and looks ok. The plant is a little banged up but that is the fault of the post office. They left it hanging from the mailbox flag and the box was really beat up. I would order from these guys again.

Although I was a bit nervous about ordering live plants off of ebay, after reading reviews on here and the seller's feedback I decided to order 3 young hoya plants from this seller. Not only were they very fast in shipment, they were packaged extremely well and not broken or diseased! The plants are wonderful and I'm sure will be a great in my collection for a long time. I definitely recommend their hoya plants, and when I ordered they had a great selection and fair prices as well as great combined shipping!

Bought 3 hoyas from this seller via ebay. Plants were very healthy and shipped super fast. Prices were competitive. Ebay ID: cowboyflowerman. Very smooth transaction.

I ordered 2 native azaleas. I received 2 healthy plants in a timely manner that were well packaged. I am well pleased.

I have ordered plants from this business for about 5 years and several times a year. The plants I receive are always large and healthy--no sign of insects or other unwanted critters. They are carefully packed and wrapped and always arrive in great condition. Plants are shipped out promptly and I can count on my order arriving within a few days. I have never been disappointed in an order or purchase. Emails and phone calls are promptly returned. Customer satisfaction is important to them. The 6 or 8 inch baskets are full, speciman quality and at a good price. I will continue to purchase plants from this business because of the high quality of plants and service.

I just received my third shipment from this company. The plants always arrive in perfect condition, thanks to careful packaging, and they are consistently large, healthy, and pest-free. Last week I ordered a 6 inch pot of H. shepherdii and what I got was a mature specimen sized plant with 66 peduncles! Communications via email are always answered promptly and the orders arrive on the day promised. This nursery gets my highest recommendation.

A couple of months ago, I ordered several plants from this company. They were shipped promptly, packed well, and were big, healthy plants. No complaints at all. I will do business again with this company.

I have been a repeat customer of Jodie's and Secret Garden for years now (I wrote a review as wildrose10101 three years ago). Just received my biggest order yet... nine plants... all in perfect shape, well packed. Jodie has consistently offered large, well rooted plants... always healthy, always pest-free.

Shipping is reasonable, prices are more than fair, plants always shipped when promised. Honest people. I highly recommend, and I myself will continue to order from Secret Garden in the future.

Thanks for being a consistently reliable company I can trust!

I ordered several plants and some pots after a friend told me how wonderful this company is . The plants were all large size , blooming , foliage plants , great size, customer service good, packaging , shipping good. Would shop again.

Excellent transaction - ordered a few days ago and received plants today! Beautiful Hoyas!!

I have made several orders with them with had excellent service and recieved perfect plants. Had great communication dealing with shipping as our weather kept going up and down, freezeing then not lol. Everything arrive just perfect. One order I had ordered 2 small plants of the same kind. He sent a me huge potful that could have been divided into 6 plants if I had wanted to.

Although I experienced the same issues with not hearing from this company after placing an order as others have, I have to say that my experience is positive. I ordered 200 4" pots and have received about 1/4 of them, the rest are on back order. My shipment came w/ a handwritten note promising the rest of the pots asap when they come in. I'll post here again when the rest arrive, if I remember.

I also ordered a Brome - Crypt 'IT'. I am exceptionally pleased with this plant. It is in a 4" pot, but bigger around than a dinner plate. It was packed very well and had absolutely no damage from shipping. This plant has had excellent care and looks as if it came from a nursery that specializes in Bromes. For the price I paid I expected a much smaller, mediocre plant.

If you can be patient after your ordering process in hearing from this company you will not regret ordering from them. Just don't get excited when you don't get a confirmation e-mail from them that your payment was received thru Paypal. Don't look for an e-mail that your order is shipped. Just know it's on it's way and you'll be more than happy with it!

I have ordered from this wonderful company for the past couple years several times and always extremly happy. Great comunication, nice emails and nice on the phone even though they are very busy they always take the time to help ! There prices are excellent and shipping cost are low too ! Quality is excelent . Most tmes I can order Friday and have my order no later than WED. and I do live in FLorida it comes Priority Mail .
All my shopping exeriences have been great . I highly recommend them !

Positive is too lame of a term. They are very very helpful and customer service oriented. Even to the point of helping me with a tree that I purchased from my local nursery.

I purchased two trees from them. The packaging and shipping were awesome! The trees were already bearing fruit! While trees that I have gotten from other internet sources can at best be described as twigs not these, two beautiful beauties. They have green leaves with blooms and well developed limb structure.

While the tree that I purchased from my local nursery (6 months ago) is the same size, the price was four times what I paid here and it is doing poorly. The two trees that I purchased from here not only have blooms but a lot of new growth (which the nursery purchased tree never experienced).

I will only buy from here in the future. After wasting my money elsewhere, I have finally been blessed with finding this excellent company who are committed to the success of the plants that we share our world with!

Thank you

Got off to a bad start with this company but after another try was much happier with plants I since have had a few happy orders nice people to deal with.

I've ordered Hoya's from Secret Garden twice before, and have another order in with them right now. The plants I have previously received are well grown, well rooted and some have even bloomed within weeks of shipment. I highly recommend this seller.

I'm a repeat buyer!

Always beautiful healthy plants packaged to perfection.

I appreciate the plants in 4" pots, making them more affordable, and the plant size and health of the plants just can't be beat.

Great customer service, as well.

I just placed an order with Secret Garden a week ago. I love houseplants and tropicals that I can grow outside from May-Sept, then bring in to keep the house "green" in winter. I ordered several ferns, and received them in 3 days! The plants were large, healthy, and in fantastic shape on arrival. There was one small discrepency regarding multiples of two plants, but the staff was friendly when I called, and quickly and politely corrected the problem and sent the remaining plants immediately. I have used mail order in the past for my plants, but I have never been more satisfied. I highly recommend Secret Garden, and personally, I will continue to order from them in the future. Thank you so much Secret Garden!

I've ordered from Secret Garden Rare Plants twice- once last year and once just recently. Both times I got very quick service and nice, good-sized, healthy plants. The prices were reasonable, and the plants were carefully packaged to arrive in perfect shape.
There's a good selection and variety of plants here. I got some lovely ferns, a couple succulents, & misc. things. All were fantastic!

I have been collecting Hoya's for a number of years and I have ordered from several growers.Thus by far this company is the very best,He not only has beautiful healthy full plants, his prices are very reasonable.I often visit his site looking for new plants.If you are looking for a great experience in hoya buying visit this site. Fast friendly service and healthy plants.Thanks!
