easy to navigate website, high quality goods, lovely packaging and excellent service.

This was the second order I've placed and as with my previous order, the order and delivery process were excellent. This was a mothers' day gift for my Mum who loves her garden and grows a lot of her own fruit and veg. Having previously bought her a blueberry bush which has flourished, I decided to send her a pomegranate tree. She was delighted with how the gift arrived, beautifully packaged (with environmentally friendly packaging), however she was concerned that the care instructions said the tree needed to be grown inside a heated greenhouse, which she doesn't have. I was quite upset as the online description didn't give any indication about the special care required. I spoke to Customer Support who reassured me that the tree would be fine outside in a sheltered spot. A happy Mum again! Hopefully this will prove to be the case and, although we don't expect a lot of fruit given the UK climate, a lovely tree should give my Mum a lot of pleasure. Thanks

Have ordered gifts on 3 occasions to date...good website with accurate description of gifts. Love the packaging. Great response by receivers of gifts. Only gave 4 stars as last order let down by courier - not clear why as previously courier delivered as expected. Due to delay plants a little weary, however fed this back with immediate response from company with instructions re further care of plants and offers to replace if don't improve...plants did, so clearly just the delay in delivery affected them. Great customer service so despite last experience not being as high a standard as first two (less of first impression by receiver) have no hesitation in using again. Great unusual gifts...especially fruit plants for any jan makers out there! Will give 5 stars if next delivery works out as first two!

I purchased the medlar package - a small tree and a jar of medlar jelly. I ordered 10 days before Christmas and they arrived within 4 days of ordering on the day I had requested for delivery. they were attractively packaged and made super presents, perfect for difficult to buy or adults. Perhaps the "tree" was a little smaller than I expected, but only criticism that I can think of.

Reading that it had to be opened no earlier than 2 weeks before planting, I ordered it to be delivered on 20 December as it was a gift for Christmas Day. It arrived a week before that - and I was lucky that a neighbour took it in. I had taken the day off work on 20 December so I was rather irritated. I rang up and was reassured that it would be OK for Christmas Day if I kept it in a cold shed. The gift went down well and the wine was very good. My friends have told me that the instructions say they can plant it out in March so they are keeping it in a cold shed till then. I would have liked to have known this before I purchased it.

Fig tree arrived well and survived the few days it was left in the crate before Christmas. Nice packing, jam looks good too. The tree has already start to sprout, so it definitely works. Have already recommended the site to several others.

Ab fab innovative gifts,with great eco packaging & great helpful customer service. I orederd the lovley rose package for my mum for christmas,she usually goes for David austin roses but was so delighted with her gift and the ethos behind it she shall be visiting your site as well. I also purchased the grapevine set for my brother & his wife in germany,who are so difficult to buy for over christmas.I was so delighted you could arrange delivery there,much nicer than sending euros!! I will be returning to you through out the year for my great gift ideas,we are amongst the many hoping to move this year & we love our garden,so we might treat ourselves shortly. Thank you once again for all your help & advice & a Happy new year to you all.The only thing i would have liked to have known before i made my purchase was european delivery and the cost. Best wishes Sue

Whatever the time of year always something for friends and family, sent with tender love and care to arrive to delight !

I have been a customer of The Gluttonous Gardener for just over 2 years - they always get my gifts delivered on time to the right address and are a pleasure to deal with, very easy to order on their website or on the phone. Might like to see a couple more images of the plant being sent but overall the recipients are always delighted with their gift which is the main thing.
