Perfect everytime

Yet again another faultless delivery from Binny with wonderful, healthy, good condition plants. The service is brilliant, the plants are brilliant and they just care!

Lovely plants lovely people

I have used this nursery both with their online mail order service and also visited , they are very knowledgable and helpful about all the plants they have, they have a wide variety and especially good healthy beautiful peonies. The mail order service is excellent. It’s refreshing to find proper plants people who cant do enough for customers. The dog is cute too 😁

Poor peony

Paid 50 pounds . But received almost like bare root peony . Disappointed

So far happy with my purchase

So far happy with my purchase. Peonies are grown since they arrived. They have also had some sweets as a surprise (not sure if they have fallen by mistake when packaging or there were placed on purpose) but my kids really appreciated. Thank you

I recently bought two potted Peony…

I recently bought two potted Peony plants costing £40 from this nursery. On arrival the plants did not look very well entrenched in the soil and yesterday my gardener planted them and told me both were bare rooted plants in loose soil in a 4 and 7 litre pot. Sam was really nice when I phoned this morning but Billy (the owner) phoned me back and told me these had been potted in November and virtually accused me of lying about the condition I described to him. He was rude and very grumpily told me I could dig them up and send them back, not even an apology and certainly no sign that he might even entertain the possibility that maybe by mistake I had got plants only just potted up. Time will tell if they are okay but this was my first time dealing with this nursery.......I won't be back

Absolutely love this plant shop

I have now made 3 orders with Binny Plants and every time I have received the best quality and well packaged peonies and other plants. They were all safely delivered from Scotland to Bristol :) Thank you so much. No doubt, I will be your customer in future too!

Received my peonies today - excellent condition and arrived the next day after ordering. Very happy with my purchase - many thanks for the leaflet on the Great Dixter Spring Plant Fair 4th/5th April. Will see you there. Many thanks.

Lovely nursery, gorgeous plants!

This is a lovely company to deal with!
I ordered two peonies and was contacted by phone to be told one was not available but I could have a more expensive (and much superior plant) at a discounted price - which was a very good deal.
I also had a chat about problems with some of my own plants. David could not have been more helpful.
The plants arrived quickly, very well packed and were large, well-grown and healthy.
The larger plant, a very special Itoh peony, had multiple growing points and has produced seven gorgeous blooms.
I have bought quite a few peonies from other suppliers but these were the best ever.
