Barb is the best way I know to get great plants, and great prices and excellent packaging!! She hunts down the great plants, gives a huge variety and is always on top of things. she can ship plants in the hottest months and they show no signs of stress in shipment. I highly recommend her for your plant buying needs!!

I haven't had the best of luck when it comes to mail-order plants, but this co-op was easy, pleasant, and had a wide selection of plants available. What I really like about it is the fact that it's run by real live humans who treat me like a real-live human. To this co-op, I'm not just a number or an order. I have a name and concerns, and if I have any concerns, they're addressed immediately.

I highly recommend this co-op to anyone, especially if you can find a plant here that you cannot find locally!

Flowers of Fate is run by Mamajack and Mama rocks!
For her co-ops, she orders in plants from all over and then she HOLDS ON TO THEM until they are healthy and strong, neatly packs them up and ships them to us. I've never been disappointed!

Barb goes the extra mile to offer excellent service and quality plants at affordable prices.. Hers is one company that delivers more than it promises. Her communications are excellent and plants are very carefully packed and shipped when promised. You can't go wrong here!

I have purchased from co-ops ( I am ashamed to say) hundreds of times, from here on DG , Yahoo groups, and privately. This is the best co-op group by far.... They offer a wide variety of plant choices, rock bottom prices, will hunt down the plants you want most and the friendliest bunch of folks you ever want to deal with.
Barb and Susan are very professional in their business dealings but have a verbal back and forth like Abbott and Costellos, "Who's on first?" routine that will literally keep you in stitches.

Hey, the plants and the prices are terrific and I can't say enough about the service but the very best part is you will never have more FUN anywhere else. Barb and Susan are the click and clack of the plant world.

I ordered a selection of clematis from Barb. They were excellent! I gave specific instructions on how I wanted them shipped, and she did so, no questions asked.

Barb has been running co-ops on DG for years, and trading plants, and has always been excellent in whatever she has done.

I encouraged her to go commercial, and I'm very glad I did. Barb takes her sales very seriously, a lot of time and attention given to all she does.

I am very proud to be able to leave feedback for what promises to be a fantastic new company.

Since I posted this last comment, I have been involved in several more co-ops with Flowers Of Fate on Cubits. I was in the co-ops for baptisia, bulbs, and daylilies. Southern Dazzle for 45.00!. She has the co-op with EON now, so I will get some labels. Can't beat this company!

All plants have been received in excellent condition, wrapped and shipped perfectly.

And the co-ops are tons of fun!

Good job Barb!

Best of the best! Customer satisfaction is number 1, followed by an amazing diversity of product. I've purchased over five times-from garden items to perennials, semps, bulbs, etc. and never been disappointed. Some rare and unusual cultivars, as well as hard to find roses.........

F of F gets 10 stars from me! Diverse plants, finds absolute GREAT prices, fast shipping, well-packaged, and wonderful, helpful, patient, vendor-great resource for info. If she doesn't know about a particular cultivar, zone, etc. she will take the time to find out.

Barb and Susan are a great team!

I'll be back, again............again..........again..... :)

Excellent experience. I got great plants at a great price. I really like the way they ask what we want and flowers of fate goes looking for us and gets the best prices for us. I feel very secure also in how my money is handled and the spreadsheets they use make understanding of whats going on in the co-op so easy. I will be using flowers of fate whenever I can.

Received great plants, packed and shipped well. So glad to see a hobby turn into a business! Barb is really on top of her suppliers and quality of the plants she sells. You know you're buying from a real gardener rather than just a business owner.

Still shopping with FoF and Barb and receiving great product and customer service. Great shopping year in 2010 and I know Barb will find more great plant and bulb opportunities for her customers in 2011!

Barb's instinct for working w/ reliable suppliers, her willingness to accommodate customers and her overall "can do" approach to running her business, make Flowers Of Fate a vendor from whom you can buy w/ 100% confidence.
