Great plants, and service.

My order arrived very well packed, the plants were great quality, ready to plant out with clear instructions, and a thoughtful message was included about the colder weather later this week.
Thank you for the great service. I will definitely be ordering again.

A very reliable company

As usual, the plants are healthy and in excellent condition. The packaging was strong enough to withstand handling by the Royal Mail.

It is reassuring to have found a reliable company - (that is Dorset Perennials not the RM).

Excellent service from Dawn & Martin…

Excellent service from Dawn & Martin and their team. Healthy plants arrived well packaged and in good condition. It’s obvious that they care about the plants and their customers. I will definitely source my plants from them again and spread the word.

Couldn't be happier

A really good experience with Dorset Perennials and I will be using them in future as a result. Good range of plants to choose from and the 7 plants I ordered arrived very quickly and in great condition. Very impressed with the care that went into wrapping and securing them for transit. First rate.

Great information on their website, matched by great quality plants

Great information on their online plant listings - a really good place to go for inspiration and advice on plants, and pick up a great plant for an excellent price whilst you're there.

Found them whilst searching for primroses at a reasonable price (most places seem to sell them for double Dorset Perennials). Have been *very* impressed by the quality of the plants received, and will be making a concerted effort to buy from Dorset Perennials instead of our usual larger online retailers going forwards.

Great value beautiful plants

Delighted with the nine plants I received. They arrived quickly and safely packaged (including a sticker on the top informing Parcelforce that the box contained plants). Six of them are already bursting into flower and full of very healthy leaves. Astrantia major were still quietly snoozing in their pots, but I am sure they will be just as glorious when their turn to bloom comes. I shall definitely be ordering from this company again.

I'll be back for more

Dorset Perennials and I'll be back for more plants.

First time user of this company. Just received my plants - 2 types of geums - and they are really lovely plants. Delivered in great condition. The pricing seemed really good too.

I always prefer to try and support the smaller companies - although that initial order is always nerve wracking as I'm always weary of frauds and if not fraud you might get lousy plants.

I really like their ethos of growing plants that are suited for the UK steer clear of the fancy that might not survive. I'm a new gardener so can easily be miss lead and lack knowledge. This company has helped educate me in what to plant.

Delighted With Plants and Packing

The best well packed plants I have received (but would prefer no staples). All the plants were wonderfully healthy. I will definitely buy from Dorset Perennials again. Thank you.

A wonderful company

First time ordering from this company and would gladly do so again. Everything came in great condition, exactly the quality of plant I would choose myself in-person, they've exceeded my expectations of online plant ordering. I waited to write a review until I had got the plants in the ground, and am happy to say they have grown in beautifully already (it's only been a few weeks!) They made sure to include the plant care information, and the handwritten note offering ongoing advice was a delightful addition. Highly highly recommend.

Dorset Perennials is a superb nursery …

Dorset Perennials grow beautifully strong, healthy plants that arrive in peak condition having been carefully packed to avoid any plant damage and delivered really quickly. I’ve ordered plants over 3 years. Their plant knowledge and help is invaluable. If I could give 6* I would!

Have they gone out of business?

I am loathe to write this review as I've previously had excellent service from Dorset Perennials and excellent plants. However I placed an order on 15th July for £40+ and I've never received it nor had notification of its availability for collection, although the money has gone from my account.
I have emailed them, telephoned them and sent messages via Facebook with no response and I feel that this lovely nursery may have gone out of business. A terrible shame if they have but my advice is to contact the nursery before placing an order in case you lose cash like me.

Reply from Dorsetperennials

I am sorry this order got into such confusion. Ian asked us to hold this order pending collection after his holiday. Our reply to that email was overlooked and we were both left working on the assumption that we were waiting on the other. The order was successfully completed, if a little late. I can only apologise, sometimes things occasionally get out of sync.

Highly Recommended

Second order from Dorset perennials and just as high a standard as the first one last year. The plants are healthy, well packed and when appropriate a handwritten note on the invoice which lends a really personal touch to the transaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will order again in the future. The generosity to leave 'Primula Beesiana' seedlings in the pot for me to plant on was a lovely gesture.

No gimmicks, just good plants !

My third or fourth purchase from this nursery. Excellent plants, beautifully packed, and they thrive as soon as they're planted. There are no gimmicks or bits of garden knick-knackery, just good plants for proper gardeners.
