Quality service

Easy website to use. Good communiication from seller as to dispatch estimates etc. Although carriage cost seemed a little high, the plants arrived well packaged and in excellent condition as I think they were sent next day delivery? Lots of useful info in and contact number should any more info be required put in with the package. A little pack of extra free wildflower seeds. included also.
All round good service.

Hi jeanette, I'm glad you are happy with the service you received. I just wanted to make a comment about the delivery costs. We make no money on delivery - in fact we often end up subsidising it a bit! With plants, delivery ideally needs to be next day and next day delivery is not cheap! They are sent either Royal Mail Special delivery at £5.99 or via courier for £8.99 - this £8.99 covers any amount up to 10 kg in weight (which could be as much as 100 plants).

If your order weighs more than 10 kg when packed we don't charge you any extra and we pay the extra ourselves. You have to also bear in mind that compost is quite heavy, particiularly if very wet from a lot of rain. So, for example, if you ordered one of our plant collections the delivery charge is £8.99 by courier for next day delivery. One of these could weigh 2 - 3 kg or more. If you had 5 of these, delivery would still be £8.99. However, to send by Royal Mail for next day delivery would cost £15 or more. To send by parcel post could work out cheaper but would take 3 days or more to get to you and the plants would have suffered.

So when you look at the delivery costs from that point of view, we are not expensive at all! We are also cheaper than some other online nurseries. Smaller quantities of plants, say 10 plugs go by first class post with fingers crossed that they arrive next day!

Primrose perfection

The service we received was excellent and the primrose plugs were so large and so healthy that we were able to plant them straight into the garden. Can't wait for the spring to see them flower.

A very positive experience.

An abundance of choice offered on this very user- friendly website with plenty of valuable information about native wildflowers. Good value, nicely packaged, promptly delivered with some unexpected complementary wild flowers seeds. I've been looking for some of these seeds (like Bird's foot Trefoil ) in garden centres but without success. A very positive experience, thank you.

Flying Carpet!

The wild flower carpet arrived the day after I ordered it on-line, I couldn't believe it! Loved the brown paper recyclable packaging - now I need to lay it and await the results next year.
Thank you

Excellent Shopping Experience!

I came across English Cottage Garden Nursery's website by sheer accident - but I'm so pleased I did. I'd seen an advert in a weekend national newspaper for the butterfly garden Gromat from a different company and prior to purchase I wanted to find more info. Via a search engine, I found ECGN and not only did they have more info on the Gromat, but their price was 50% less than the other company. This was a no-brainer! Excellent information available online and very speedy service from order to delivery .... and don't forget I saved money too!

Super fast speedy delivery and free seeds

Not only was the product a lot cheaper than I had seen it advertised in the Sunday Mail, but the delivery time was super quick, the product arrived within two days and also accompanied with a free sample packet of wild seeds, this was the icing on the cake. Throughly recommend!

Lovely people, lovely plants!

We ordered some cornflower plug plants. They arrived quickly, in excellent condition and are currently beautifying our garden.
I was delighted to find a personalized note on seeded paper plus a packet of wildflower seeds included in the package. :-)

Brilliant Service

After placing my order on line, I lost the page before I could enter the payment details. As it was late in the evening I decided to ring the company in the morning. An e-mail had come through asking if I still wanted to go ahead with the order? I rang the company and did the payment over the phone. I was told the order would be put in the post first class that day. My order arrived the very next day! Very pleased with the seeded flowers and the service was brilliant. Thank you.
