JurassicPlants Reviews 

For many years I have been buying such wonderful plants from this nursery, plants you would be hard to find anywhere else. It is surprising how so many plants from tropical or warmer climates that grow and flourish in this country. Many are edible, all look amazing in the garden and I look forward to receiving the emails listing new arrivals. My garden is full of exotic plants and just looks amazing.

I have ordered around a dozen plants from Jurassic plants so far. I offer the following review and some constructive feedback for JP and their customers.

Plants - superb quality - each plant has arrived with a rich green and glossy look. I get the impression that the business was born out of love of the job, rather than cold hard returns. Just my guess, but the love shows. Critique - to manage expectations (I am not a shill afterall) the plants are not very big, usually a seedling of 2/3 sets true leaves, but growers will know that this initial stage of growth is the hardest and growing on from this height is a lot easier, so it is a worthy investment. Given the quality I think represents good value. ;)

Packaging - this is extremely secure. double boxed, plants wrapped in cellophane and taped to one side. I have found the most risk free way to unpack is to open top and cut down the bottom corners from both sides, this gives you access to the 'tray' of plants. Critique - I would say the overuse of cellophane is a little too secure, as it does risk the stems being damaged getting that cellophane and tape off - with the tape it can also be hard to find the leader and unravel methodically. For the plant tops I would suggest cutting a square carboard slip with a slit down the centre and taping that in place, requiring less cellophane and crucially none around the stem.

I am impressed by the plant quality and thoughtful packaging. I hope this feedback is of some use to Jurassic Plants.

Kind Regards

We'd been looking for embothrium coccineum plants for some time, but none of our local nurseries stocked them - seemingly on the basis that they're pretty temperamental & too difficult to be bothered with. I discovered Jurassic Plants earlier this year via the internet & sent off for 2 young plants. They actually sent me 3 (at no extra charge) & all 3 are going great guns! They have a great range of plants & are happy to give advice. Couldn't recommend them more highly!!

Just wanted to share my experience of excellent customer service. I ordered a plant that had a specific memory for my best friend. I needed it to get there by Saturday and Madeleine has gone that extra mile.

What I love about them is that they sell unique plants that will grow in uk climate and human support in case something goes wrong.

Repeat customer, once again, very happy with the starter plants, nice and healthy and well packaged.

I'm starting my garden so over the past 6 weeks I ordered young plants from about a dozen different nurseries with mixed results. Many arrived in poor shape, not sure if they were already dying or did not survive the shipping. My JurassicPlants order arrived today and I was blown away with the care that was taken to package my baby plants. They are each individually wrapped so that no soil can come loose, stuck the the sides of the box so they don't slide around, and protected by sticks so they can't get crushed. All four plants are very healthy and I'm so excited to watch them grow. These guys had an excellent selection as well, including some rare and beautiful plants that are hard to find in the UK, and they provide guidance on how to care for them. I will probably use exclusively this nursery from now on.
