Comments regarding Blossoms, Birds and Butterflies

Of course my hometown garden center gets four Stars!

I received 6 violets (and one free violet) from BBB (Ebay) on the 11th and all were in good condition except for one had many broken leaves, but I have hopes that it will make it with what's left. The packing was very good and the shipping was quick. They were smaller than I thought they would be, but I really didn't know what to expect as I had never ordered from her before.

I ordered from Karin for the first time in January '09. I sent her a "wish list" first because I wanted plants and not just leaves. She was very good about answering my e-mail messages. My order arrived in a timely manner even though I live a long way from her and the weather was being unusually unpredictable. She had packed it well and although a couple of the smaller plants were a little worse for wear from the heat pack included they are doing okay two weeks later. She has a very nice selection of plants, some that are very hard to come by. There was one mix up in labeling but we worked together to make sure that the plant was actually what I had ordered. I had also ordered two sets of leaves along with my plant order and they were very nice too. She included one gift plant and two sets of gift leaves in my order.
I will definitely order from her again - in fact we are already in communication about my next order!

Karin Dean works hard to make things right. I have several of her African Violets (and have more on order) and I've been very pleased. I am a repeat customer.

Have made several purchases from Karin...small pots but always ready to move up a size, and bursting with good health. VERY reasonable prices and shipping rates. Excellent communication, as well. I highly recommend!
