Each year I would go to local garden stores to find both annuals & perennials and was always disappointed. I found Garden Crossings online by accident while searching for a plant I saw at a local store. |

The first time all the plants were in superb condition, however, the second time I received unhealthy looking Million Kisses Begonias and the shippers damaged my wax begonias which weren't as tightly packed as the year before. When I contacted them a representative told me that the Million Kisses Devotion begonias would soon recover with home care and in fact they did completely recover two weeks later after I repotted them and put them on my indoor plant regimen (rotating Miracle-Gro + humic acid & vinegar + hydrogen peroxide every two days). The representative also gave me a refund for the begonias. |

Everything I have purchased has done wonderfully. I appreciate the detailed info on their website but most importantly the quality of their plants, they cost more than other online nurseries I have ordered from but are correspondingly bigger as well. I completely understand why they are a top 30 company here, they deserve it. |

The Raspberry Truffle was on my wishlist to find this year and to my delight they were on sell at GC. Also bought Solar Flare. All 6 plants were hugh!!! I had ordered from 4 companys and these plants were the biggest. Very healthy. This company was the most expansive of the 4 but still would order from them again. I got FREE SHIPPING with $75.00 order.The plants were well packaged and the soil stayed in the pots. The company provided great communication via e-mail. Their website was real nice although I couldn't find a tab for items on sale which would have been nice. |

There were no great surprises. Once again, I am so tremendously impressed with the high quality of the bedding plants and the Proven winner plants. All appear to be "fresher" and more viable than plants I can obtain locally. The packaging is impeccable. Again, the pricing is very fair. The customer service (Heidi) is the best. My only regret is I am running out of space to add more plants right now... I haven't given up though... there must be a corner that needs a little color... Jon Schneider |
Positive | JoeyinRoseburg (10 reviews) | On Apr 14, 2012, JoeyinRoseburg wrote: An assortment of plants I ordered arrived yesterday and I couldn't be more pleased. This was my first order from Garden Crossings and it won't be my last. Every plant is large, vibrant, and healthy. What I particularly am happy about is how the packing was done. The packing was very secure, but at the same time, it was very easy for me to unpack the individual plants from the carton. I order plants from other sources, only to find that although the packing is well-done and very secure, it takes a lot of time and effort to remove the plants from the carton because of excessive tape, cardboard, staples, and such. In these cases, the packing is overdone and difficult to remove. Two of the plants I purchased were lantana, which I had a difficult time locating from other online nurseries. Garden Crossings will be my new source for online plants. |

The Plant Palette plants arrived last out of the three. They were fairly large and healthy compared to the other companies. I just planted them so it is too soon to tell how they will work out in the long term, but by comparison, I give them a positive rating.

They expressed that they would like to understand the problems I experienced and if they could make it right. I have placed a order and they agreed to send replacement plants and I have ordered additional plants with my gift certificate. That is very good customer service when people notice when a customer is not happy and reach out to make it right even from a 2010 order. That is a long way back to offer replacement plants that did not survive. For my area the best time for planting is May so I will return when I get the new order and report the size and health of the new order. Thank you Heidi |

Plant material always arrives in a healthy, beautiful condition. I truly appreciate the attention & care they take in packing the plants to ensure a safe transport with minimal damage. Size of plant material I've always received was WOW, too, which I've previously shared with the folks @ Garden Crossings. |

One of the V.V was out of stock, but the five plants shipped were BIG, healthy, and had the absolute BEST packaging I have ever seen. The order arrived promptly and in great shape. I ordered clematis from 4 different online sources this spring, and these were the overall best. I highly recommend them as a place to purchase well-established, healthy clematis plants. |

All of the plants arrived safely in a very carefully packaged shipping box. They are very decent-sized, and of really good quality. I am very thrilled about the purchase. This is my second order from them. I would go back to Garden Crossing for more plants as I need them. Thank you so much, Garden Crossing. |

It was totally infested with afids. I have never seen so many on one plant before. I called the company and e-mailed Heidi photo's and am waiting to hear if their entire stock is infested or not. If they are, (which I would think they are considering how many were on this plant) and they handle the refund accordingly, then I will change the rating back to postive. If they don't then it will be changed to negative On May 26th, 2011, Jlmyers72 changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following: Heidi refunded the money the next day for the afid infested Quince. All though disapointed that the plant had SO many bugs, because they handled the refund so quickly, I am changing back to a positive. I eneded up going to a local nursery here in the Detroit area and they had a Quince in a 3 gallon pot for quite a bit cheaper anyways. I will use them again, but only for items I can't find at Bordines. |

I only occasionally order from American Meadows due to their rather high prices. This morning I opened to different orders, from 2 separate places, and now understand their high prices. Buddliea,Dicentra, and Oso Easy Rosa...Just PERFECT. extremely well packaged with care and 4 beautiful ,full healthy looking plants !! Super ! As for the other place...thumbs down ! On May 19th, 2011, stormcloud added the following: I recieved my latest order today. Fabulous. not planted as yet but they all looked wonderful and healthy. Surely a far cry from the little seedlings many other online nurseries are sending. Little problem is that in a tray of annual celosi plants one of the 6 packs only had 5 plants and the 6th empty. Packaging is extremely safe foir the plants. No popcorn to run around collecting as you unpack. Excellent...I am very pleased with this order. |

Positive | drclemson (1 review) | On May 14, 2011, drclemson Lewistown, PA wrote: I recently ordered numerous perennials and they were shipped very quickly and were safely packed and in great shape when they arrived. Good sized plants and very healthy in appearance. The prices seemed good in comparison to several other companies from which I did some comparison shopping. One thing I was unhappy about was that two boxes shipped separately from the main shipment, which was fine, but these boxes were obviously mishandled and traveled on their sides so that when I opened them, the soil was all over the place and the plants were lose in their pots. They were also growing sideways, so they must have been this way for several days. The boxes are clearly marked as living plants with several arrows and "This Way Up" indicators, so this was the fault of Fed Ex, not Garden Crossings, just an FYI. Will see how they do now that they are planted. |

Garden Crossings had become aware of problems with this plant this year after my order had shipped and had taken them out of their catalog till they grew them out a bit.

The packaging is great and plants arrive looking healthy; all have thrived in my garden. I do think the prices are too high. I usually only order things from GC that I can't easily find elsewhere. I also wish they didn't chop off the tops of some perennials. I ordered irises this spring and the tops were all chopped off, including a few flower scapes). I doubt they will bloom this year. All considering, the postives outweigh the minor complaints. |

Positive | Teedee (2 reviews) | On May 5, 2011, Teedee Germantown, OH wrote: Ordered a dozen angelonia (annual flowers) from GC as my 1st order. Was amazed when I received them. They were in 5" pots with at least 4 stems per pot, all 6" high or higher. They were green and very healthy looking: no wilting or broken stems. ALL of the dirt was still in the pots. Received them just about 1 week before they should be planted, which gave me time to harden them off. While the price was no bargain basement deal, I have paid as much for these at local nursery centers and only gotten half as many stems per pot. This shipment was the best I ever remember receiving, and I order a lot of plants thru the mail. Kudos to GC! |

I was a bit surpised at how small they were for the price paid but they all look very healthy. The packaging could have been done better/neater as there was soil all over the place inside the box and the slots for each plant weren't all tabbed out to keep the plants from moving around. Never the less I'm leaving positive ratings because they look healthy and I recieved what I wanted. |

I will definitely order from them again. |
