Positive | thuggett (8 reviews) | On Mar 7, 2011, thuggett Orlando, FL wrote: Super people! Sure, the plants are healthy, packed well, and shipped quickly. I think that must be the easy part for a good company (and that really can't be all that easy - just the logistics of it could be overwhelming.) But the outstanding thing about Almost Eden, and the attribute which makes it a great company, is the fast, friendly response to every message and the attention given to each order to keep the customer informed. So much time doing the best right thing and a Top 30 Company as well - that's hard work and commitment! Much thanks to John. I'm a new return customer for sure. |

I talked to the owner on the phone about adding an extra plant after ordering online. He was very nice and there was no problem with the change. I received confirmation/shipping emails and the plants arrived in two days. It was probably the best wrapping/protection I've ever seen and the plants arrived in great shape. Would definitely order from them again. |

Positive | nraybrown (3 reviews) | On Feb 3, 2011, nraybrown Atlantic Beach, FL wrote: Plants were timely shipped. The post office took 8 days to travel a distance normaly covered in 6 hours. The company checked on the shipment multiple times, and followed-up on their arrival. Upon arrival, the plants looked healthy. Two weeks later they still appear in good shape. The packing job was exceptional. Not a drop of dirt was missing from any of the four pots. |

It took me awhile to unpack each of my plants; they were packed extremely well packed. They were in excellent condition - large, healthy and not a broken leaf. Several days later, sitting in their pots in my garden they are very healthy and waiting to be planted. I am very excited. |

I ordered 2 White Turk’s Cap and 1 Pink Turk’s cap and was really impressed by the size of the plant that I received. I had to go back and order some more plants and this time I ordered 2 Confederate Rose ‘tricolor” and too was impressed by the size of the plant. The packaging was wonderful and well packed. I received my plants in great shape and within 3 days of my ordering. Great customer satisfaction is hard to get, but Almost Eden has sure got mines. I am greatly satisfied and will definitely return in the spring for some more plants. The pricing is just the right amount for the wonderful plants that you receive. Thanks a bunch Almost Eden. |
Positive | JAMIESMITH (6 reviews) | On Nov 4, 2010, JAMIESMITH Decatur, MS (Zone 7b) wrote: I ordered three Yuletide Camelias on a Thursday and had them in my hands the following Wednesday. Not many companies offered this particular plant. The shipping was VERY reasonable and the plants were packaged in a way that more than adequately protects against damage in shipping. I paid by check and received an e-mail from John when he received my payment and I received another e-mail when my order shipped. He was also kind enough to answer some general questions I had about planting. I am very impressed! |

Positive | jdo1217 (7 reviews) | On Oct 14, 2010, jdo1217 El Mirage, AZ (Zone 9b) wrote: I just unpacked 15 plants from Almost Eden, and every one is thriving. The packaging is the best I've seen from the many companies I have ordered from during my gardening life. Each plant had been watered well and topped with wet newspaper. Then the pot was taped in plastic and the plant, along with a partner at the other end, was securely fastened to corrugated cardboard that was then rolled and fastened into a tube. All this with very reasonable shipping charges. |

I placed an order last week for an Osmanthus. It was shipped on a Monday and arrived 2 days later. It arrived with spent blooms, but there will be more blooms coming soon from it. The processing was way fast than my order last year. I'm very pleased again. On September 9th, 2010, musaboru added the following: Today I received an order of a couple of magnolias. All plants are very healthy looking. This whole transaction took place within 7 days, ordered on Thursday, shipped on Tusday and made it from Lousiana to California in 3 days. John even emailed me if I rather have it shipped the next week on a Monday instead of the Tuesday after Labor day. And also were kind enough to answer my emails including one about the how tall the plants were. I've never ordered so many times from one company, must be because the great customer service and the fact that there's always something interesting to buy (reasonable prices too). |

These folks are the best. My plants arrived sooner than expected and in excellant shape. They were so much bigger than I ever expected and were even blooming.

On April 1st, 2010, ahelms added the following: I received three Evergreen Wisteria which are rated to Zone 7, the leaves look so much like my tropical Evergreen Wisteria.

Positive | laplacev (1 review) | On Jul 7, 2010, laplacev Baton Rouge, LA wrote: I received a shipment from Almost Eden today and my plants were in incredible shape, still moist and fresh, carefully packed and it is in the 90s these days. They didn't have to go too far to get to me (on the other side of Louisiana) but they were so well packaged - well-watered, moist absorbant paper at the top of the soil, stabilized in the packing - that I think they would make it much farther as well. I have shopped from a few other online sources, but have not received plants as carefully wrapped or in as good shape. I recommend them highly! |

Positive | dirt_digger (2 reviews) | On May 23, 2010, dirt_digger Longwood, FL (Zone 9b) wrote: In March I ordered four plants. I was concerned about mail order since Florida is so hot. I was impressed with Eden's communication, explaining when my plants would arrive. Each plant was extremely well wrapped. Although there was some leaf drop, the plants have had no problem and all are doing very well. I will definitely check with Eden for any future order whims. Eden offers a good variety of desirable plants at reasonable prices. |
Positive | jeanninear (1 review) | On May 20, 2010, jeanninear Ocean Grove, NJ wrote: I ordered some hard to find plants (at least hard to find in my 7 zone). They arrived when promised, it fantastic condition (nice and healthy). I had expected smaller plants since the pot sizes were 3-4 inches and was amazed at how robust the plants were. They were packed so well that not one leaf was bruised. Highly recommend them. |

Within minutes, John from Almost Eden called me to ask about the order being placed twice. He sorted it out for me in no time, and was very friendly and polite. The refund showed up on my credit card records within a couple of business days. |
Positive | VBIRD (1 review) | On May 3, 2010, VBIRD Alexandria, VA (Zone 7a) wrote: I placed an order online on Sunday evening and immediately got a response that explained they had recently done a garden show and would not be able to ship that upcoming week but if really needed please contact them and they would do their best to ship. I had to contact them the next day because I thought I had made a mistake on my order and the gentleman answering was very pleasant. When my plants arrived they were larger than I expected for the price and in perfect condition. Since it was my first time dealing with them I sent them an email letting them know I was impressed with their plants and service. Again I recieved a very nice personal response not a form email. I will defiantely check with them first before ordering and now recommend them to my clients. They are a dying breed, we need more companies like them. |

I was actually surprised by how healthy it looked and how big it was given the extremely fair price I paid for it. |

I love oleanders and am still searching for some that I have only seen on plant society websites. This company has the best selection I have found and some of them have kept their fragrance. |

I ordered just one plant because I had never used this company before, but next spring they will definitely get more of my business. I am usually underwhelmed by plants offered in a 4 inch pot, but I received a large, well grown plant of perfect proportions in remarkably sturdy packaging-far superior to most I have received over the decades. |
Positive | dwc47 (14 reviews) | On Apr 21, 2010, dwc47 Chattanooga, TN (Zone 7b) wrote: This is truly a "top-drawer" company. Plants are healthy and as described. Packing is probably the best I have ever seen, and I have been mail-ordering plants for nearly twenty years. To top it off, their people are genuinely friendly and always concerned about your order. My highest rating! |
