Positive | pamichen (2 reviews) | On Oct 23, 2012, pamichen Huntington Woods, MI wrote: Love this nursery (and Chick's occasional blog/newsletter offerings). I no longer even look anywhere else for hostas. I have many that I got from them over the years-all growing strongly and looking great. I especially like the plant descriptions. I tried a few gold hostas due to their recommendations and now these are some of my favorites. All of their plants have been great-I've never received any plant from them that was less than top quality. Even their late autumn "ugly plant " sale offerings have had robust root systems and grew just great in my garden. Their packing is the best I've ever seen. Obvious care taken with shipping living plants. Top-notch nursery. |

They are larger than the average mailorder plant, and in excellent condition due to the awesome packing job. Bridgewood Gardens, YOU ROCK! I will definitely order from you again. |

Positive | clairew (3 reviews) | On Jun 18, 2011, clairew Chestnut Hill, MA wrote: Ordered twice this season, most recently "The Pot Luck Collection" (15 hostas for $75) and have also bought from their bargain bin and their "half-pint" offerings. Everything is beautifully packed (like Crownsville Nursery, which is somehow related) and the plants are always nice sized (half-pints are smaller) and great quality. Orders ship quickly; I will continue to order from them. |

The hostas were very well-packed with excellent root systems and multiple eyes. This spring, they have all come back with 4 of my plants flowering. Highly recommend. |

I didn't realize it at the time, but Chick was spoiling me for other hosta growers. Bridgewood's plants always come potted, carefully wrapped and perfect! Not a tiny eye wrapped in a paper towel! I would say that at least half of the hosta in my gardens comes from them. When I want a specefic plant, I go to their website first and only go elsewhere if they don't grow it. |

I ordered 5 Hostas : Birchwood Parkys Gold, Blue Angel, Fortunei Aureomarginata, Gold Standard and Patriot. They arrived QUICKLY in great condition, ready to plant. The sale that they are running now is great, too. I will be coming back for more. Highly recommended. Great Quality! |
Positive | pbtxlady (14 reviews) | On Jul 1, 2010, pbtxlady Garland, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: I've been on Bridgewood's mailing list for a couple of years, but just received my first order from them today. I have to say that these are absolutely the best hostas I have ever mail-ordered. That's pretty amazing when you consider that it's a mid-summer sale (what they usually call the "ugly plant sale"). The hostas are large with multiple eyes. In addition to hostas, I also ordered a cinnamon fern which was about 3 times the size I expected. |

I did start adding some ferns this year and I'm starting to get addicted to them also. As usual all the plants arrived packaged in beautiful condition. My second shipment was delayed because they had some damage from hail the other night and Chick graciously offered to replace the damaged hostas with a more expensive one at no extra charge to me (or refund my money which I was not interested in at all). The second package will be waiting for me when I get home today. Kudos to Chick and everyone there. Can't say enough good things about the plants. Hosta La Vista |

What impressed me most was that last year a sale started after my order had been placed. Chick gave me a refund and extended the sale price to my order. This was unasked for service and won my loyalty forever. |

Positive | minuspa (2 reviews) | On Jun 8, 2009, minuspa Saint Joseph, MI wrote: I have also ordered from Bridgewood Garden on line, another nursery whose hosta's are great. It is wise, I think to read these blogs regarding what people have experienced good and bad regarding certain nurseries and which one to definitely stay away from when ordering plants on line. |

Plants were still moist and in pots as stated . Shall get to see the results this spring. Good people to deal with. Good communications too. |
Positive | GardeningNC (3 reviews) | On Nov 11, 2008, GardeningNC Durham, NC (Zone 7b) wrote: Ordered 5 hostas in their ugly fall plant sale - all came in 4" pots with good roots, only one did not have roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. Great packing, plants were in their pots with little soil disturbance. Since it was an ugly plant sale there was no foliage - but Ill get to see the beauties next year. |

All plants healthy and in great condition. And this was an end of summer "Ugly plant sale" where the prices on average were reduced by 40%. |

They look great and were a fantastic value. There were a few damaged leaves on the larger plants which I pinched off. The damage was minimal and the plants were in amazing shape for travelling several days in 90+ degree daily temperatures. |

Positive | zafo (15 reviews) | On May 1, 2008, zafo Saint Louis, MO wrote: I always have a good experience here. They ship nice sized plants at a great price. One added bonus is the hostas are shipped in their pots so if the weather isn't agreeing with your schedule all you need to do is water the pots. This place is great! |

Positive | nutmegnana (9 reviews) | On May 10, 2007, nutmegnana Adamstown, MD (Zone 6b) wrote: I have ordered from Bridgewood Gardens in the past and have always been very satisfied with my plants. This year I ordered in January when they have some special offers for shipping on or after April 30. They shipped exactly as requested and this year their hostas are just spectacular. They arrived without a single broken leave, as usual given their great packing process. The plants are all very healthy and good sized, relative to their size in the hosta kingdom. Once again, Bridgewood has exceeded my expectation. Plus their website is kind of fun to read :-)) |
Positive | karmalottaz (2 reviews) | On May 9, 2007, karmalottaz Arden, NC wrote: I ordered about 30 Hostas from Chick. I am not putting up a negative at this point becuase i believe that the problems that I have had nothing to do with the quality of the hostas or the company. I had two boxes one small, one big. The bigger box was pretty destroyed when it got to me and wet. The only damaged hostas that I had from this pitifull box(again not chicks fault UPS Ithink is to blame)were the larger one's i ordered 3 Blue angels and 2 sum or substance. They were pretty much mush by the time they got to me. I have written chick and we'll see what they want to do. BUt otherwise I am totally happy with the rest of my order and will definetley order again since now I have that HOSTA BUG! On May 9th, 2007, karmalottaz added the following: Just got my email back from Chick very prompt and he let me know that he is sending out the blue angels and the sum and subtances out today. Again very postive experience and definetley will be ordering again very soon! |

Positive | Flintrock (7 reviews) | On Aug 9, 2006, Flintrock Flint, TX wrote: Chick is the greatest. I have ordered on several occassions this year, purchased 28 hostas in all. I found them on the whole to be very nice plants. Excellent packing, very fair prices and great sales. Lastet is the 'Ugly Plant Sale'. Can't wait to receive these. The one plant I had an issue with I contacted him on. Chick weighted the situation and deemed I was intitled to a replacement plant. The replacement was very, very nice. The website is full of good information about growing hosta and entertaining to read. Chick has a sense of humor. He refers to himself as "a humble hosta farmer". He knows a great deal about the plant and shares the information. |
