I can only say the best about Janet and Graham. The communication was excellent just as their customer service. All my questions were answered and I even received plant care suggestions from Janet in my garden. Delivery was ultra quick. The palms are perfectly healthy, beautiful and they got set into their final positions ready for planting. They went beyond my initial expectations and were kind enough to offer to move the plants into my back garden saving me from the headaches moving them myself. They definitely gained a new returning customer.

Then he explained his interest in another one which was in stock Janet went out her way and sent him photos of the plant. Then he agreed which one he wanted. it came the next day and it was delivered personally.My partner asked for advice about a plant we already have and how to care for it.which she was more than happy to advise us.Highly recommend dirt cheap plants we will be buying from here again.

Great experience this morning with Janet at Dirt Cheap Plants, despite the pouring rain she kindly walked me round their amazing garden explaining and showing me the kind of plants I could start with to put in my garden on a budget.Janet could have turned me away as she knew I wasn’t going to spend much ,but she gave me some great advice as we dripped in the rain and enthused about what I could do. I happily bought two small plants received some great top tips and went on my way. Thank you Dirt Cheap Plants I will definitely come back and tell family & friends about you.
