Hi James, Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear there was some confusion about the delivery cost. The delivery charge is displayed on the right side of the checkout page after your delivery details are entered. For example, you’ll see: Flat rate: €20. Hope that helps.
Found at last!

Hi Phillip, thank you for your kind review and Happy New Year! We’re glad you enjoyed browsing and found our staff helpful & friendly. We hope to see you again soon.
Best plants and staff you can find
Wonderful selection of plants that are clearly cared for before I got them. The staff are beyond helpful and I didn’t encounter any problems with my order. In fact they went out of their way to accommodate me and with changing a plant, sent me photos of new stock that may interest me after I asked if they had a similar orchid in stock. Best range of plants and flowers, best range of orchids I could ever find, the supplies and all you need are there to choose from and I can’t wait to go back. Even asked for a voucher for Christmas. Good location and they have a cat who chills out there too!

My order never arrived, I didn't receive an explanation, and I didn't get my money back either, really bad experience

Hi Adrian, Thank you for your review. We reached out several times regarding your order. Phone calls were made and emails were sent on 10/11 and 03/12 to let you know your order was ready for collection from the garden centre. At checkout, the local pickup option was selected, not delivery. We allow up to two weeks for collection and if we don’t hear from a customer within that time, or receive a request for an extension, the order is automatically cancelled. In these cases, a refund unfortunately isn’t available. If you’d like us to look into this further or if you believe there has been a misunderstanding, please feel free to contact us directly and we’ll be happy to help. info@plantlife.ie 01 4536201

Hi Mark, Thank you for the lovely review! We’re glad you enjoyed our variety and found our team friendly and helpful. We look forward to seeing you again soon :)
Happy but could be better.
I am in general - happy. Unfortunately the one plant that naturally only has four leaves lost one in the transportation and the other is dying, but should survive, fingers crossed. The packaging could have been better. The other plant I got looks happy, healthy and beautiful. It took close to 3 weeks to be delivered even tho I stay in Dublin.

Hi, Thank you for your review. We’re sorry for the delay with your order we had to source plants from our supplier in Holland. Regarding the condition of the plants on arrival, they were delivered via An Post and unfortunately, delicate plants can sometimes be damaged despite our best efforts to package them carefully. We’re glad to hear that your other plant arrived healthy and beautiful and we hope the one that was damaged recovers with a little tlc.

Delighted with the plants, exactly what we were looking for. Very prompt delivery. Really want to buy lots more plants now.

Delays, mistakes and frustration
The order took three weeks to be delivered. I received a call telling me that some items were unavailable and suggesting changes in pot colours. They didn't mention there would be also changes in size. I received less articles than I ordered. I finally got a refund more than a week after the delivery, but the whole process was extremely frustrating. Never again.

Hi Julia, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by the delays, unavailable items and changes to your order.
As I explained previously, our website is not updated in real time, so items may sometimes appear in stock online even if they are not currently available in the garden centre or from our suppliers.
We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to receive fewer items than expected and to wait longer than anticipated for a refund. Our garden centre manager was away at the time and I needed to check with her before issuing the refund. Thank you for your patience and we sincerely apologise for the delay.

Hi Kirsi, Thank you for your review! We’re glad you’re happy with your plants and the quick delivery.
Delivery expensive
Ease of ordering, not bad value tiny bit expensive. Plant was growing well, delivery very expensive as ye only deliver in Dublin. Any deliver guy on a bike would have done the run for €10 and be delighted, but I paid €20 which is a bit Irish. Otherwise good company good plant.
