Every buying experience has been wonderful and his plants have always exceeded my expectations (like all but one of the reviews listed here), including my most recent purchases in January 2016. When I came across the negative review from KX in Calgary, Canada, I was astonished, so I wrote to Daniel to get his side of the story. I learned that this review was based on an order from a year ago, the winter of 2015, and that Daniel had advised KX not to have plants shipped to Calgary during the winter given the cold exposure. I also learned that the box with the plants sat in a postal facility for almost 2 weeks before it was picked up. Daniel also asked KX not to send the additional $15 and said he returned the money to her. Daniel told me that he had tried on multiple occasions to write a response to KX’s review, but that Dave’s Garden Watchdog website did not provide that option, (although it claims to provide that opportunity to its listed vendors, the promised link does not appear). I just wanted to report my consistently positive experiences with Daniel and his amazing plants. After 15 years of receiving superb and healthy plants, there is no nursery I would prefer to order from more than Daniel’s Specialty Nursery! |

It was a little unconventionally and a test of patience to pay by check and wait for them to receive the check before they would process the order but it was well worth the wait. Plants were well packaged to keep the succulents from tumbling around. |
Positive | Turkishzelda (2 reviews) | On Sep 7, 2013, Turkishzelda Shreveport, LA wrote: Ordered around 10 plants from Daniels. While the sizes dont sound big, the quality is very good and compared to other vendors, they are reasonably priced. Well rooted, good color, nothing mushy or rotten. Extremely good packaging. Not one dent on one leaf. They are very good with correspondence, happy to answer any and all questions. Only downside was that i could not pay online with a credit card. They only take checks and i havent written a check in some 5 years. Had to get a money order and then mail it to him. All said and done, i will surely be buying again. |

Crassula Pubescens Crassula Hummels Sunset Both Crassulas are healthy, insect-free and good-sized. I had a question for Daniel, so sent an email. He responded immediately. Daniel's a very nice man, and quite helpful. AAAA+++ |

We heard of him sometime in August, 2007, and in December of 2008, while living on the road for four months, ended up only 20 miles from the nursery, and I thought I HAVE GOT TO GO THERE! |
Positive | JAugusto (1 review) | On Oct 1, 2007, JAugusto Somerset, MA wrote: During a recent trip to California, I was inspired to create a living wreath. I found Daniel's Specialty Nursey web site and decided to give it a try. I ordered 100 succulent cuttings. They arrived promptly and beautifully packaged. The quality of the cuttings was excellent; healthy and very colorful. The wreath was fun to make, and I think it looks spectacular! I am now a loyal customer. |

The plants were as big or bigger than advertised, perfectly healthy, sensibly packed, prices were fair and it got here when it was supposed to, inside a week of the order date. I'm very pleased and will definitely order from them again. |

Positive | sjgeil (2 reviews) | On Mar 17, 2007, sjgeil Melbourne, FL wrote: I just received three beautiful Haworthia brownianas from Daniel's. They were carefully and snugly packed and arrived much sooner than I had thought, all in great condition. This is probably my fourth or fifth order from Daniel's, and I have been delighted every time. The website is very easy to navigate and order from, with excellent photos and clear information about the plants; there are sooo many temptingly gorgeous cacti and succulents that I like to drool over; and Danna is just wonderful about answering e-mail questions--a very kind and helpful nurseryman who obviously loves what he does; and it shows. |

The plants were all received in excellent condition, and they all had great coloration. I would be happy to order more plants from them as soon as possible. |

Positive | Valyn (1 review) | On Nov 6, 2006, Valyn Carleton, MI wrote: I was looking for a Crassula ovata 'Hummel's Sunset' that was larger than 4 leaves. Danna worked with me until the plant I wanted was found. They went out of their way to please me. The price was fair, shipping was great and fast. |

Positive | dave12122 (83 reviews) | On Aug 25, 2006, dave12122 East Haddam, CT wrote: I'm basically pleased with my Daniel's order. Some of the Crassulas were stretching toward one side as if leaning toward the sun....I wonder if they were grown in too much shade? The Agave was a nice size and everything was packed well. While I'm not overwhelmed, the prices are right and I would order again. |

Positive | totalnewbie (1 review) | On Jul 21, 2006, totalnewbie Loleta, CA wrote: I have bought online from Daniel's Specialty Nursery twice now. In my opinion Daniel's Nursery is great because they show excellent photos of the plants and are careful to specify what size the plants will be that you receive. They are also very responsive to e-mails, they pack the plants very carefully, and I have yet to receive an unhealthy plant from them. Even under my less than perfect care all my plants from my first order (purchased around a month ago) are thriving. They also have an excellent policy of shipping plants on Monday so they won't sit in the post office over the weekend. Whenever I'm looking for a new plant they are first on my list of places I'll shop at. All in all for the beginner or someone who is looking to have some beautiful plants Daniel's is a very good place to buy from in my opinion. |

Every aspect of my transactions has been a class act. They have superior quality plants, excellent service, speedy delivery and are supremely courteous and helpful. I will happily continue to be a repeat customer. |
Positive | Stapeliaddict (1 review) | On Jul 15, 2006, Stapeliaddict Ukiah, CA wrote: Danna & Daniel-- HI AND THANKS FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL CEREUS CACTUS!!!. You have always been so helpful and have sent beautiful plants and I always receive email responses right away. Even when I order plants, I either get instructions and pointers with the plant or emailed to me along with my order. You went above and beyond to cut me a deal and followed through over a 4 month time period. Thanks again for the gorgeous specimen and great financial deal on the plant as well. Your specimens on eBay are also excellent! I look forward to continuing our business relations. Best Regards! Erik |

Since I paid by check, the order took longer to complete than it would have if I had paid by paypal, but their communication was excellent. They let me know when my order was shipped and sent a link to track the shipping. |

Most important of all, the plants they sent were in wonderful condition and reasonally priced. Shipment was prompt. This has been the best site for catus and succulents I have found on the net. Placing a a second order soon. Highly recommend doing business with them. |
Positive | wvtreehuggers (2 reviews) | On Mar 3, 2005, wvtreehuggers Charleston, WV (Zone 6a) wrote: I new that I was interested in succulents, and I searched this site for ideas for places to shop. Daniel's Speciality Nursery had a great website that was very easy to navigate, and it is wonderful that there were so many pictures. I was actually overwhelmed by so many interesting looking plants, that I did not know what to get. I emailed the nursery for suggestions on low maintenance plants that I could keep indoor, and within a few hours, they responded with suggestions. I ordered a few plants, and I received them less than a week! They were packed very well, and all survived the trip from sunny California to the blizzard that we were getting is West Virginia. |

I order five succulent plants from them and they all arrived in great condition. My Euphorbia Flanaganii was huge and was very reasonably priced. I asked them to hold my plants for shipment until the weather was better here in MI, and they replied promptly that they would ship them whenever I wanted. I will be doing business with them again. |

They have echeverias and aeoniums that I wanted. I didn't know anything about this company, so I emailed them. I then placed an order. My plants arrived a few days later. They have great communication, the plants were beautiful and they were packed with great care. I was very happy!!! |
