Climbers and more

Plants were in very good condition when delivered. They were packaged very well to keep them from being damaged in transit. We are extremely happy with our purchase from Soto Gardens and will definitely use them again.

Very very slow delivery time and then…

Very very slow delivery time and then no indication by courier of when they would come. Spoken by phone to them and asked for delivery wry to not be left on my doorstep. It was. And with the heavy wooden pallet too which I then had difficulty disposing of. All round annoying.

Reply from Soto Gardens

We are sorry that the delivery was two days later than the advertised delivery window, as explained on the phone the pot was stuck in customs over the Easter period. We will be passing on your feedback to the pallet delivery partner.

My second order from Soto…

My second order from Soto and really pleased. I ordered a 5m collection for a shady border and all the plants arrived well packaged, in really good condition, in large pots and with good root system. There was a hiccup with DPD which meant the delivery came late which while annoying to sort out wasn’t Soto’s fault. You are able to select a convenient delivery date when you order. Soto customer service were very good calling me back and attempting to track the items down, and I am confident if it hadn’t been resolved they would have sorted it out and resent the order.
I really like Soto’s business model, they take the guess work out of planting combinations and the quality of the plants is excellent. I am sure this won’t be my last order.

Great company to deal with

Great company to deal with. Plants are of really good quality, and customer support is fantastic.
I was missing some plants, and Soto Gardens sorted it by the next day.
Will be a repeat customer.
