Hello,

I just wanted to say I was thrilled with your call to say the peach tree was on its way. I was ecstatic when it came.  It is a real beauty and I am so thrilled with your service and quality of the tree. This is especially fantastic as my order was a long time ago and has been well worth the wait. 

Thank you thank you.

Stephen

I just wanted to say thank you to you and your staff for the excellent and efficient service I received.
My Goddaughter received a beautiful fig tree from you last Thursday and her parent's were absolutely delighted.

We would not hesitate to use Reads again or indeed recommend you to our friends in the future.

Best wishes,

Emma Stapleton.

Dear Reads Nursery,

I was delighted with the plants that I purchased when I visited your nursery at Easter. (I had two Bougainvillas, a Dipladenia, a Jacobina and a Trachelospermum.) The two bougainvillas seem happy enough and the small one 'Tiggy' put out a lovely, large apricot flower which turns reddish pink, so I am very pleased with that too. Everything is in the greenhouse and it is all going well. I will certainly visit
again next time I am with the In-Laws (makes the visit worthwhile!) And thank you for your time and help when were were there!

Thank you so much for this plant- it is a lovely specimen. We will endeavour
to look after it as well!

Best wishes

Plants arrived in good order this morning.Beautiful plants, I am absolutely delighted with them.Also impressed with the courier, Business Post. Many thanks and kindest regards June.

Thank you very much for processing and delivering this order so promptly. Arrived this morning by 8 am as my wife was opening the rest of her birthday presents.

She loved the Feijoas !

Steve

Just to confirm safe arrival of the order.
I was initially reticent about buying climbers and shrubs by post after having in the past received some rather puny, uninspiring plants from other mail order sources.
It was therefore a pleasant surprise to receive carefully packaged, undamaged, good sized thriving plants.

Thank you.

Aivar Bracka.

Just a note to say thank you for the excellent lemon tree. It was delivered as
promised last week and I have now potted it on as directed in your
instructions. I have just used a lemon from it and was very pleased with the
flavour of the fruit. I hope to purchase other items from you soon either by
telephone order or by visiting your nursery, which looks really interesting.
I have also been on your holiday accommodation website and would like to
stay sometime later in the year ( not yet decided the dates). I have
recommended you to friends and am sure they will purchase from you in due
course. Thanks again for excellent advice and service.
Regards,

Just a note to say thanks. It's some time since I have ordered plants by post - often because in the past I have had to nurture the poor things back from a near-death experience.
Your grapevine was a fine specimen which arrived in excellent shape. I'm suitably impressed.

Hello Stephen,
I am so sorry. You are dead right. I woke up this morning and overnight it had turned pink. I cannot believe it! As you can gather this is the first Brugmansia that I have tried to grow. It is wonderful and is covered in at least a dozen flower buds.
I feel such a fool. I have had all my friends and relatives around today to admire my wonderful flower. I had no hesitation in recommending your good nursery to them all.

Hi

I have just received my first order from you. I took pot luck on the internet. I am very pleased with the quality of the goods. The lemon tree is beautiful. The fig tree is dormant so I don't know about that yet. I initially thought the strawberries were not bad value as I had previously paid the same price. However i was very surprised that yours were in pots as my previous order were bare rooted. I don't often write to suppliers but in this case I have been very impressed with your service. 
Thanks
