Company closure, no response.

I bought a £100 gift card for my brothers birthday only to find out the place shut down a few weeks later. I tried multiple times and multiple ways to contact them about a refund but no reply. I feel robbed. Dire customer service. The silence and lack of accountability is cowardly.

Exemplary

Exemplary nusery and plant shop in terms off their standard of plants, advice and customer service. Like my favourite plant, the Croton, i am quite particular and not easily pleased.

Although the plants I ordered ended up being out of stock; I was informed immediately and given the option to wait or to cancel.

And when the plants were back in stock I was contacted promptly to arrange delivery; all of which was hassle free. Wonderful plants and I'd highly recommend.

Fantastic!

I made an appointment & collected my plants not sure what to expect. The plants are very high quality & very well priced. I was blown away by the fantastic range & quality of plants at the nursery, the premises are basic & functional, the vast range of unusual & beautiful plants is exceptional & something I've never seen & I know most of the local nurseries! There is nothing like this in the South East. If you want an indoor plant including something a bit unusual then this is the place to go. The passion, knowledge & support is unrivalled. This place shades all the others web based sites & blows the garden centres away. Call them & visit!

Customer service is excellent

Customer service is excellent. I unfortunately had a cracked self-watering container and only found out after 2 months. I phoned and they were more than helpful and sent me a new container.

Very impressed with their customer care!

Excellent service

Excellent service. I needed help choosing a big indoor plant for my open plan living space. Paul was so helpful as I know nothing about plants. I’m delighted with the advice and the plant has transformed my place for the better. Highly recommended!

Pros and cons

The plants were beautiful.

One of the plants was stolen by the courier service, for which I was refunded.

Customer service was not great. The instructions for plant care were misleading and the plants have fared badly as a result. I twice asked for guidance on how to take better care of the plants but they failed to get back to me.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending House of Plants. I received a brilliant service from Paul, he was super knowledgeable and helpful about advising about what plants to buy and how to care for them. The plants that i bought are growing and thriving and I'm really happy with them. They were delivered promptly and we arranged a time that I was at home. I've now bought more plants from House of Plants for presents for friends and everyone has been really impressed

Don't buy plants for others

Buy plants for yourself if you want but not for your friends. Delivery company chosen means that you have to wait in all day. House of Plants can take many weeks to despatch if there is more than one plant in the order. When there is a problem House of Plants seem nice but do nothing. They think that their delivery choice is not their responsibility. And we are too polite to tell our nice friends who went to all this trouble.
