What a great place to wonder and source plants. All plants purchased arrived safely and are now in the garden looking magnificent. I am looking forward to them getting established in the new build garden.

Within a month of meeting Tim my garden has been designed and planted. Tim designed my garden based on what I wanted along with lots of advice and recommendations for suitable plants, shrubs, trees. Tim has very high standards and my garden looks beautiful. Tim, Gwenda, Josh and Tom were brilliant and I cannot recommend them more highly.

First class arboretum and a splendid service, friendly & professional. The true test of a business is when there's a problem, and Gwenda & Tim sorted it out immediately, so helpful, no hassle no fuss. Can't recommend them highly enough. And the Hoheria Sexstylosa is looking fantastic!

We have bought numerous shrubs and trees from the Arboretum over the years and have always found their staff to be friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Recently when a couple of our plants failed to thrive, Gwenda offered us a credit note with no hesitation. A pleasure to do business with you all!
