Positive | grrrlgeek (5 reviews) | On May 28, 2009, grrrlgeek Grayslake, IL (Zone 5a) wrote: Received 2 great plants, a Josephine clematis and Bill Brincka hosta. Plants were packed wonderfully. Best looking clematis of it's size I've seen. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but seeing the size of the plants, and how much I would pay locally for the same size, they are not bad. Plus they had the clematis I really wanted in stock. |

Big, healthy and the packing was awesome. 3 out of 6 coneflowers already had blooms and new buds. My very first order and I was very impressed. This is a company I will definitely order from again and again. The old saying you get what you pay for is right on! Thank you for a wonderful first time experience. |

However, when 3 of the plants began to bloom it was obvious that they had shipped the wrong color. They shipped replacements right away. |

I already have 5, and needed to ad, and was thrilled to see that this top company offered what I needed! They arrived thriving and well-packaged, with sticks in the soil equal to the height of the box to prevent the plants from being bounced too much! Very impressed! Their website is not only visually appealing, but already easy to use and informative. I liked how you could pick the ship week as it made it clear when the plants should arrive. I have since received a catalogue and coupon and already used them! I expect order #2 sometime next week! I can't wait to do business again in the future as I continue to add to my garden! |

Positive | carpincho70 (8 reviews) | On Apr 29, 2009, carpincho70 Hot Springs National Park, AR wrote: Very impressed!!! Impeccable packaging and huge plants!!!!! They back ordered a rosemary and I'm confident it'll be just as good. My only complaint is that they describe their viola Black Magic which is gorgeous as far as colour goes, as being fragrant and big disappointment....it's not!!!!! One of the reasons I bought her was for its supposedly being fragrant. Oh, well, nothing is perfect!!!! |
Positive | BlissfulGarden (51 reviews) | On Apr 25, 2009, BlissfulGarden Baton Rouge, LA wrote: Over the past few weeks, I have received mail order clematis from five different vendors. They varied in size and price quite a bit, but I'm happy to say that all the plants are thriving and happy... from every vendor. Garden Crossings offered a good selection with fair prices. Their plants appear to be cultivars they purchased from other growers and then grew out to larger size in their own containers. I say this because my clematis plants were in identical quart-size containers, but had ID tags from various growers. The roots and foliage were full and healthy... quite impressive. But, most impressive was the packaging and shipping. OUTSTANDING! They put each large clematis plant in a separate box, and then paired two smaller boxes inside larger boxes for shipping. The pots were held secure in place so that the plants were completely protected with double cardboard all the way here. The box could be turned in any direction without the plant moving or the dirt displacing. I truly appreciate the care Garden Crossings took to ensure that the plants arrived at my home in the same condition in which they left the nursery. I will happily be a repeat customer in the future. A++++ vendor! =) |

Positive | egadsky (2 reviews) | On Apr 20, 2009, egadsky Kirkland, WA wrote: I ordered from Garden Crossings after a very bad experience with a different online nursery, and I was thrilled. My plants arrived in beautiful condition-- they're healthy and they're potted as advertised (not bare root). I could save money ordering from a different company, but I'm not willing to take that chance. I just placed another order with Garden Crossings and can't wait to receive it! |

Positive | Sublux7 (4 reviews) | On Oct 7, 2008, Sublux7 Manassas, VA wrote: My first experience with Garden Crossings. I ordered a scabiosa that arrived in good condition despite being stuck in a Fed Ex facility over the weekend. It arrived a total of 5 days after shipping and it still looked pretty good: it was also a really large full plant that barely fit in the box. It was packed well. |

I ordered 4 plants from their end of the season sale and imagine my surprise when a huge 2ft tall box arrived! Yep, the plants were that big and packed so that neither soil nor plants were disturbed during shipping. A very big thumbs up for GC! My first order, but it won't be my last! |

I am just so pleased to have found this company! A serious garden company with quality merchandise. How refreshing! I ordered a Phygelius, a Filipendula and an Echinacea. Top-notch! I can honestly say, I have never received such large plants from a mail order company before. BRAVO! Garden Crossings!

When I opened the box I was surprised to see the green foliage filling the box all the way to the top. They were in very large pots, expertly packed and properly labled. I am very satisfied with my first order from this company and happy to give a positive review. |

After seeing so many poitive experiences and visiting there great web site, I gave an order for eight heucheras on Sunday. That following Wed. I had eight huge plants delivered in perfect condition.

Positive | El_Bandito (1 review) | On Jul 28, 2008, El_Bandito Wheat Ridge, CO wrote: I ordered two Roguchi clematis and they shipped super fast and arrived on time. And despite the fedex guy obviously not understanding what "Live plants this side up" means AND tossing the box on its side on my patio, they arrived in excellent condition. Luckily they were packed very well. I'm impressed by how big and healthy they are. Thanks Garden Crossings! |

Lo a Garden Crossings catalog came and there it was. I ordered on line and could not believe how fast it came and even better it was a very nice large plant . I am really pleased and will order again. Pat |
Positive | DiamondD (9 reviews) | On Jul 12, 2008, DiamondD Baton Rouge, LA (Zone 8b) wrote: I have placed numerous orders with Garden Crossings for Clematis. Their website is easy to navigate, the ordering process is excellent. And, they are quick to respond to an e-mail. I hated to hear the negative response, but this happens sometimes. I am very pleased with my business dealings with them. Oh, and I just received my latest shipment, 7/11/08 and even had blooms on one of the plants, and the packaging well it was over the top as usual. When ordering by mail you would expect to have scrawny plants sometimes [yes, I've been given a reality check a time or 2 with other vendors] but I'm always pleased with Garden Crossings, good root system, healthy plants. The shock of transporting any plants, especially large plants is to be expected, not to mention the cost of shipping large plants. I guess you could call me a fan. |

Positive | drsvelte (1 review) | On Jun 20, 2008, drsvelte Baton Rouge, LA (Zone 8b) wrote: I placed my first order with Garden Crossings last week. At the time, they were running a special: no shipping charges for orders over $100. My order was over $100, so I expected no shipping charges. It turned out that one of the plants ordered was no longer available. My order dropped below $100 and shipping charges were added back and charged to my credit card. Garden Crossings caught this snafu themselves, called me to explain the error, and credited my account for the shipping. |
Positive | gardadore (21 reviews) | On Jun 17, 2008, gardadore Saylorsburg, PA (Zone 6a) wrote: I placed two orders with this company for the first time this year. Both orders arrived in a timely manner, well packed, in excellent condition. The plants are indeed large and healthy as advertised. Shortly after the first order arrived a poppy died (they can be very difficult to transplant and keep going). They gave me a generous credit for future orders. When they offered a free shipping special I placed a second order which arrived in three days again in superb condition. The cone flowers are especially strong. While the prices may seem high they are comparable to other high end companies and the plants are considerably stronger and larger than most web companies. I will definitely order from this company again as they offer unique perennials. Their customer service has also proven to be outstanding and caring. |

On May 31st, 2008, JPride1127 changed the rating from negative to positive and added the following: Looking back on the situation it was kind of my fault, any issues that occured are forgiven on my part, they do a really good job with their plants. I hope eventually in the future I will order from them again On June 3rd, 2008, JPride1127 changed the rating from positive to negative and added the following: Received my order, my 3 gallon hydrangea is 95% dirt. They seem to have potted a 5.5 inch plant in a 3 gallon container. Both plants have black spot, wilted, bone dry, very few healthy shoots or roots. needless to say I gave these away, and after one of the owners rude customer service, I will never deal with this company again, I don't think Chad Walters works here anymore? He was a great guy with excellent customer service. If he does I would pay to deal with him again, not the rest of these people. On June 3rd, 2008, JPride1127 changed the rating from negative to positive and added the following: this is the first time I dealt with Rod, the owner and his customer service skills are excellent. After some thought the hydrangeas were the only plants I ever received from GC in sub par condition, and everything else I ever planted has stayed alive. I will continue to purchase from GC and next time think before I post such a hot headed review |

The plants are full size and have plenty of roots. The plants are in great shape and ready to plant in my garden with no fuss. Aside from looking great when I get them, they overwintered and are almost double the size in one year. |

This could have been my fault as last year I was a beginner and didn't know a whole lot yet. I emailed them to let them know it did not make it through the winter, not even 24 hours later I received a response saying they will ship me a replacement. No questions asked. So I am very pleased, thank you Garden Crossings! |

Order arrived on a weekend as I requested (only mail order company to do so). Plants were alot bigger than I expected. Iteas growing in mostly shade have grown faster than iteas I bought from local nursery & in a much bigger pot--what is the difference? But hydrangeas have been slower to take off. |

The packing was great and the plants very large and healthy. The prices are a bargain for what you get. I ordered Dark Towers Penstemon from them, forgetting that I had already ordered it from another company. Garden Crossings price was $3 less and the plants where easily 3x's larger. |

Positive | DixieDirtDiva (6 reviews) | On Apr 28, 2008, DixieDirtDiva Nashville, TN wrote: I received my order and was quite pleased. The plants were healthy and well established with, for the most part, really extensive root systems. The hardy hibiscus were obviously from several year old stock, and I believe I'll get blooms this year, and the asclepias were almost too tall for the large box. The prices were not particularly inexpensive, but the plants were of a size to warrant it. I liked the way they packed everything with bamboo stakes to prevent stems from being bent, too. I would order from this company again, especially if they have a sale! |
