has anyone used a consistantly good online nursery? i have had a few very bad experinces and would like to know some names of really good ones. i dont drive and my husband isnt as keen on garden centres as i am, unless i buy him breakfast at one!
The problem with posting a question like this is that as this is a Â鶹Éç site any recommendations may be frowned upon as a form of advertising.
When you say bad experiences in what way?
-I find you get what you pay for and any reputable nursery will either refund or replace-quite often you can find on-line reviews-have you checked those out?
Crocus are generally reliable in my experience, although more expensive than some. The major seed companies are usually good for bulbs and corms, but plants usually come as plugs, which are obviously small. But the postage costs with all of them are such that you may find it more worthwhile to buy your husband breakfast!
ordered several plants on one site, all poor quality, the magnolia costing £15.00 was a 3 inch stick with a bud on it, tried to get refund but cost to return was almost a 3rd of the cost of order so thought i'd keep order and not use that site again.
thanks for tip, but you havent seen my husband eat, postage i agree is expensive had a fantastic delivery from a famous cornish garden though, delivery included carbon offset which i felt was really good.

Yes I have used T&M cosistently for seeds and plants and have found them good quality well packaged and very obliging.
