    My last order was not much more than rooted cuttings...previously I had very good plants from them, I'm not sure what has happened but they definitely have gone downhill on their quality.
    I was also quite disappointed to have received rooted cuttings. I ordered 12 plants and most had only two or three leaves. 
    Can get much more established plants from local nursery for few quid more.

    Just placed my first order:  hitherto I had taken the name literally, and never bothered to read the thread because I assumed I would have to be sponsored by an existing member, wear an apron and learn the handshake.  Turns out it's just another online plant-seller which anyone can buy from.  They might do more business if they stopped calling themselves "Secret".  Anyway, I clicked on @mike999's link, ordered four plants, paid for them then realised I'd forgotten to enter the discount code.  Duh!!

    Not overly impressed with the website: there's no information about growing conditions.  Everything I ordered, I had to go elsewhere to find out if it would tolerate the shaded spot I'm trying to fill.

    Longacres used to be a good alternative with a good selection of 9cm-potted plants for £1.99 but not this year. This is a bad year for online shopping, everything is either sold out or expensive or with a long waiting time.

    Sorry to hear your experience was the same @spamsl 😕

    Oh yes @edhelka Longacres was my go-to last year! I have found Farmyard Nurseries recently, not so cheap but the 2 ltr prices seem reasonable.

    hmmm no idea whats happening. Got email from DHL saying they were due to be delivered today, this morning got email saying parcel delayed and to contact supplier for any questions. I asked if there was a problem with the order and secret garden have now sent out another mystery box to replace the one which is currently with DHL?! Weird and wonder when my mystery box will arrive let alone what will be in it... :D

    I was whatever's the opposite of impressed by the website.  Now they're sending me all sorts of conflicting information about when they're going to deliver.  Don't think I'll buy from them again.

    @josusa47 are you getting the same as me? confirmation of the courier having the parcel then saying it's delayed?
