Just to let you know that the tree fern arrived safely today. Your delivery service was extremely fast especially considering the size (6') and was very well protected in the crate. Many thanks for your excellent service and I will be using your service again in the future.

Hi Bill

Thanks Seagrave for the box and two superb tree ferns and a great price.

Richard Knowles 31 March 2012

I can't remember whether I emailed about the above but just to say thanks. It arrived as promissed and looks really good now that it's planted. I took the advice of the guy who delivered it, who seemed very knowledgeable, and made sure that I dug in plenty of gravel below the root ball so that it will drain well. I have been told that I should fertilise regularly with a soluble NPK 20-20-20 fertiliser, but would appreciate your advice as I guess that I will need to start feeding soon now and I want to make sure that I d

Hi there Bill;;;;;;thank you for the olive trees i am very pleased with them and arrived on Tuesday in perfect condition hope to buy some more later....thanks Monique Butler

Dear Catherine, Thank you, I received the tree fern in time to give to my mum on Mother's day, and she is very pleased with it. We planted it in a pot straight away. Can you tell me how long it will be before it starts growing it's green foliage, please. Regards Fleur Chambers 28.3.09 Hi Lynn and Bill Just a short line to thank you very much for your helpful service. In an instant our garden has been transformed for a very reasonable cost. The cordylines, bamboo plants and chinese windmill plant makes our garden feel somewhere exotic rather than a part of Essex near Stansted Airport. Your delivery staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant to deal with today. Wishing you the very best with your business - I'm sure we will be buying from you again. Kind regards, Nigel Draper Takeley, Essex 10 April 09 Dear Sir I want to thank you for delivering my tree. It is quite beautiful! You delivered when you said you would despite difficulties. The men who delivered were helpful and polite and did not drive over other plants as so many other drivers do! Excellent service and a fit tree. Thank you Best wishes Kate Howard Woodside Farm Dorset 14 april 09 Hi,

I just wanted to thank you for the lovely Cordyline that was delivered to me
on Wednesday. My Mum, Pat Boardman, ordered it over the phone on Saturday
and now it has arrived it has exceeded our expectations.

I absolutely love it and will definitely recommend you to my friends both in
terms of your customer service and quality of the plants.

Even the delivery driver was really helpful when he delivered it to
Macclesfield.

Many thanks

Hi Bill, Just to say, the tree fern was delivered today, and my husband is thrilled to bits (it's his christmas box). Thankyou, and happy christmas and new year, Heather. 12.12.08

Hi Bill/Lynn Just to say thank you very much for the bamboo plants. They all seem to have strong healthy root systems & I'm sure they will grow well in the spring. I just wondered if you could advise me - I know they need plenty of water but how frequently would you recommend I water them?

Many thanks Mark Goodchild 10.12.08

Just a short note to confirm that a very healthy looking Viburnam arrived safely yesterday.

Thanks very much.

Enquiry: We had a delivery from you today and i would just like to record the fact that i thought the delivery guy was amongst the most professional and obliging individuals I have come across in my time as a retailer. He represented you perfectly and in an era where feedback is usually of a negative nature i would like to commend him for his civility and willingness to assist - it is a rare quality these days and I trust he will be valued even more than he currently is for his dedication and polite disposition. He is a credit to you.

Hi Lynn,

Olive tree arrived today – really pleased!

Thanks,

Hi There

Just to say that our order placed on Tuesday arrived this morning - less than 48 hours from order to delivery - not bad going for 11 rather large Bamboo plus 3 similarly large Red Robin! Everything looks great. (Only one minor injury to just one bamboo cane when getting it off the truck due to its height, but everything was well wrapped, packed and secured). I fear I may have underestimated how tall 8-9 ft is though - or the Bamboo have arrived much taller than that - hope the neighbours won't mind (we certainly don't!). Weather forecast is good for the next few days so hope to get them all in the ground by the end of the weekend. If we manage that, we'll be coming back to you shortly for some large feature plants once the "backbone" is in. Hope your Cordylines and Tree Ferns are of as good quality as those delivered this morning.

Many thanks!

Just wanted to drop a line to thank you for our recent order. The delivery was super fast and the plants are all top quality and exceed expectations! Particularly pleased with the Olive tree and Photinia Red Robins. That's the back garden done, so now I will be back in the next week or so to order more topiary and some trees for the front garden.

Many thanks Natasha Waghorn (Norwich)

Dear Bill,

The two 6ft 10in Bay trees arrived this morning - they are fantastic,
in excellent condition and do the job of blocking out afore-mentioned
volley-ball net and stand to perfection! I cannot tell you what a
relief it is to look at the bays instead of that - should have done it
sooner. Very impressed with the speed it was all done - we shall use
you again. Many thanks.

Most sincerely,

Julie Juniper.

Hello I received my Tree Ferns as promised and I am more than happy with the quality of the Tree Ferns. I have used several companies for purchases of Tree Ferns as well as Palms and other exotics and I have to say that the quality and service from Seagrave Nurseries is the best yet. I will have no reservations in purchasing from Seagrave nurseries or recommending you in the future. Kind Regards, Steven McAnally ( Crawley, West Sussex )

Hi Bill, Just a quick thank-you for the lovely plants. I've attached a picture to show how we used them and we are finding good homes for them. I'm sorry your boys had such a difficult time with the delivery to the showground. They were very good-tempered about it. A few people asked me about the cypresses so I referred them to you. Many thanks once again.

Best regards, Terry

Hello, Thanks so much for : a) the great service and... b) 2 amazing olive trees ! They arrived safe and sound and in excellent condition. Thanks. 30 may 08

Bill,

Just a quick note to say thank you for delivering the olive tree. It is now in place and it looks excellent.

How much water should we give it each day (its been having four liters of water per day so far) – drainage facilities have been provided.

Thanks,

Michael Shrimpton

21 may 08

The Cordyline is in place and looks good !! What would be your advise on when it should be re-potted ( if at all ). How can I encourage the best growth rate ?? Would it be better if it were planted directly into the ground ?? Sorry to be a pain, but, any advise you can offer with regard to care, feeding, re-potting or anything else that may be useful would be much appreciated.

Kind regards Mark Churms

Dear Bill, Thank you so much for the tree fern which was received yesterday, I am very impressed by the speedy service, thanks again. I just wanted to clarify with you about the frongs, my partner spoke to somebody yesterday and explained that the delivery driver had placed the fern upside down and so when he opened it the 3 fronds that had been there had snapped off, he was told that they would grow back within 4 - 5 weeks , could you just clarify that for me, With many thanks Caroline Gallagher 24 april 08 Hi Bill, The tree fern looks great, thanks for all your help. I have planted it in my garden, can you give me a rough idea on how long it will take for the fronds to appear? Cheers! Steve 30 april 08 Bill
Many thanks for your advice last year regarding overwintering my tree fern. It is looking great and there are loads of new fronds in the crown.

It is in a pot and I would like to put in a new pot(before the fronds start opening) of the same diameter but taller - please can you recommend what compost I should use?

Many thanks

Hi Bill,
I just want to thank you and your team (especially to Gary who was very helpful) for the beautiful camellia I received from you 2 days ago.
I had to wait for it more than 2 weeks since it sold out when I ordered it but it was worth the wait.
It is bigger than I thought it would be, reasonably priced, and it looks better than in the photos (I've seen it only online).
Now it is in my garden and it looks fantastic!
I will definitely come back to you for other mature evergreens.
Thank you!

Dear Bill (and everyone else concerned at Seagrave Nurseries),

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you very much for you swift and efficient service. I ordered an olive tree for a present for my Mother, on Sunday, and low and behold on Tuesday when I came home from work it is waiting for me in my porch. The tree is perfect and the service outstanding.

So often you only hear feedback when there’s a complaint. Credit where credit is due though, thank you all very much. Keep up the good work and I will definitely be recommending you.

Kind regards

Heather

Dear Bill,

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the 8 bamboos which arrived last Friday. The 'modern installation' sitting on the pallet caused quite a lot of interest in the street!

The delivery company were great and actually turned up when they said they would. The driver wouldn't help me move the pots (I knew that but it was worth a try!) but I made sure he felt guilty when I shifted the lot on my own while he packed up!

The Phyllostachys bissetii are fantastic, much taller than I expected and bushy too. I really think these would be very popular for instant screening and the blue/green colour blends with anything. I'm not sure my nosy neighbour is quite so impressed 'though!

Anyway, thanks again for the great plants and brilliant service.

Kind regards,

Our lemon tree arrived at school today. The timing of the delivery was superb, I was doing an Assembly and all the children saw the postie arriving with the tree. There was great excitement! We are having juice from the lemon from our own tree with the fish at lunch time tomorrow. Thank you for troubling to write the letter for the children. They will reply after the holidays. I have seen citrus food, two types, Summer and Winter feed. Is this any more effective than the less specific types of plant food you suggest?

Many thanks Janet H.T Rosehearty School 14.2.08

I must say that I am very impressed with your response and your helpfulness. Congratulations on such excellent customer service and congratulations on an excellent website.

Hi to the guys at Seagrave.

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for such a

fantastic service with my recent order. I think sometimes

when you order goods on the internet things are not always

as they where described, however the quality of the plants

that I ordered were great delivered spot on time and both

Catherine and Coleen were extremely knowledgeable and

a pleasure to deal with a credit to Seagrave.

Kind regards

Pam Presteigne 14 sep Dear Seagrave Nurseries, I received a tree fern from you on Friday and am so thrilled with my purchase. Thank you very much, it looks fantastic. I just have one question, will I i encourage the fronds out by watering the top now as it is nearly the end of the summer or let it lie dormant for the winter. Thank you. Tina May

I will definitely be recommending you to work colleagues and family. I am thrilled with my purchase.

Thank you so much. Sara Rogers (31 August 06)
