The service was outstanding
The service was outstanding! The plants arrived in excellent condition, well-packaged, and delivered quickly. They were also very prompt in responding to my enquiry . I’m extremely satisfied. A quick note: I recommend using a computer to place your order on their website, as it can be a bit tricky on a small mobile screen.
Exceeded expectations
Beautiful strong and healthy plants, carefully and quickly delivered. Excellent. Will use them again!
Fast delivery
The plants arrived the next day. They were healthy and in good condition. Recommended.
Lovely ferns
Lovely strong, healthy plants. Well packaged and delivered next day. I would definitely buy from them again and highly recommend them
The ferns arrived very well packaged
The ferns arrived very well packaged. The quality of them was superb. I couldn't imagine having nicer fresher greener plants. Nigel was very helpful when i emailed for advise about the best compost to use for a container.
I was delighted with the plants
I was delighted with the plants from Long Acres, which arrived a couple of days after ordering, in great condition and expertly packaged.
Impressive service
Plants arrived within three days of order, immaculate condition, great packaging and all look very healthy. Would definitely use this company again, most impressed
Exceptional plants and service
Exceptional plants and an equally exceptional service. Large healthy plants which arrived well packaged in excellent condition within 2 days.
Great quality plants
My first mail order from Plants for Shade and I’m very pleased with the quality of the plants. They were all very well packed and all looking very healthy. Delivery was also very prompt following placement of order. Looking forward to seeing them all grow over the next few years. I would definitely recommend.
Quality plants and speedy service
This is the second time I have bought from Plants for Shade by mail order. Both times delivery was very quick and I was pleased with the quality of the plants. I think a small nursery like this offers better quality and value for money than the big mail order garden companies.
Top Quality plants and professionalism
This company are top professionals in the way they advise and supply these special area plants.
The plants were in excellent condition on arrival and the customised packaging the best I've come across. I would definitely order from them in the future.
In addition when DPD did not deliver as instructed, the plants were replaced immediately and without question. Definitely professionals in their field.
Highly recommended
I have now ordered three times from PFS and each time the plants have been excellent condition, well packaged, and arrived fast. Keep up the good work.
I didn’t get my full order and had no…
I didn’t get my full order and had no communication from PFS to say they couldn’t fulfil the whole order.
Disappointed.
Packaging was good.
Fast delivery, healthy plants
Our plants arrived and were in lovely condition and looked good and healthy. Can’t believe how quickly they arrived in comparison to other plants I ordered months ago and haven’t arrived. Thanks so much and will be happy to order from you again!
Excellent service and plants
Excellent choice off plants for shade and excellent service. Have been let down by two companies during lockdown who promise delivery dates and then when the plants don't arrive, go uncontactable. But everything went perfectly with this company. The plants were easy to order, the instructions were clear and the plants arrived promptly, in very good packing and look very healthy. I am super pleased and will definitely order from them again
Absolutely first class
I was dubious about ordering plants online again as had some very dodgy ones a year or two back. I need not have worried, the plants are excellent. I needed ferns for specific positions in the garden. Ordered Monday and arrived today. Well packed, good job as the courier obviously can't read "fragile" or "this way up".
Excellent

Fast delivery, high quality plants really well packaged.
The only drawback is that the website needs a refresh, it’s not mobile optimised.
Excellent online service
I bought approx 26 plants of 5 different plants. I found the specialised shady plant website really useful, came across some plants I hadn't thought of, especially ones for dry shade. The plants were well packaged, excellent condition and delivered quickly and efficiently. Trying to think of an excuse to buy more plants.
Recommend
Good afternoon, I ordered some Aconitum japonicum and was very pleased with the service. Quite easy, plants packed well.
