Great Garden Plants
"I recently ordered plants from Great Garden Plants for a memorial garden that I created with my daughter-in-law in memory of our six month old grandson, Buddy. We each have a "Buddy Garden" and wanted to add matching plants for his birthday and Christmas. I specifically chose Great Garden Plants because of their online selection and placed an order for two Pardon My Purple Bee Balm and two Candy Mountain Foxglove plants on July 11th, 2023.
While two of the plants thrived and brought us joy this spring, the other two, unfortunately, did not germinate. This was particularly disappointing given the sentimental significance of the garden. We look forward to seeing the plants bloom each year as a way to remember Buddy, and the missing plants left a gap in our plan.
Great Garden Plants boasts a wonderful selection, and their website makes it easy to find unique varieties. However, my experience with inconsistent plant viability has led me to reconsider them as my go-to source. I may need to return to my local nursery for future additions to our Buddy Gardens, where I can inspect the plants before purchase and ensure they meet my needs.
Overall, I would recommend Great Garden Plants with reservations. Their selection is impressive, but my experience highlights the risk of online plant purchases, especially for a project with a high sentimental value. If you choose to order from them, be prepared for the possibility of some plants not surviving shipment or failing to germinate."
