A gem in Mucklestone

I have lived in the area for over 20 years and only discovered this lovely plant nursery today, after a fruitless search for Rosemary plants in other local garden centres. The service was excellent and I will be returning soon with a bigger shopping list. Many thanks!

Wonderful plant knowledge and great service

I was looking for a particular tree to give as a present for Christmas as nominated by a friend. I had no idea where to find this tree or what it might cost.
After searching a number of sellers websites and finding the tree in question it was either not available or quoted at a price which was well beyond what I was ready to pay. (The difference in prices was huge) When I found Botany Plants Louise knew exactly what I wanted, checked it was in stock, said the delivery would be delayed (which did not matter) and delivered the tree herself (100 miles) well before I expected it. The price was very substantially lower than the next cheapest price. Could not have been a better service by charming people. Thank you Louise. Recipient extremely happy and surprised.

Talk on Mediteranean plants for the Kent Coast

Dear William
Thank you so much for your talk last night at Eastry Hort Soc. Everyone said how interesting it was and, given the current conditions, very appropriate.
Take care, Regards
Jacki

Excellent

I messaged many nurseries looking for a specific plant. Louise was one of the few to message me back. She had the plant I'd been searching for. She posted the plants to me and they arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Brilliant communication and an outstanding range. Thank you Louise.
