Of course I was hoping the plants would be good, but the ones you sent me went waaay beyond good, and right into terrific :->

Title: Fife days in the box
Hi:
I just wanted to thank you. I got your order but was unable to un-box it for about 5 days. When I did, it was if it had only been packed a few hours ago. Thanks! The entire order was in great shape and is now in the ground, awaiting their first Catskills winter.

Title: Tennessee earthworm
Hi Wolfgang,
I am sorry that I have not emailed or left feedback sooner. We had a wild week and weekend and I have not gotten to the computer until tonight. The plants arrived last Wed. They were in great shape. I planted them all in pots that very night, and by the way, one arrived complete with a Tennessee earthworm; I was deligted! I separated the Strawberry Begonia and planted it in several pots. That was a HUGE bunch. Thanks so much for being so generous. You were most generous in sending nice big, lush plants. I have on occasion been disappointed when I have purchased plants on eBay. One time I paid $12.00 + shipping for one tiny sprig of epimedium. It was healthy but SO tiny. When your box arrived, I felt like I had hit the jackpot. I ripped right into it and was amazed with its contents! Thanks too for the advice and instructions. Once the Persicaria gets acclimated, I will try rooting some cuttings. I have added your auction site to my list of favorites, will recommend your site to my other gardening friends, and I can assure you that you have not heard the last from me :o) ! Thanks again for a wonderful eBay experience. It is sellers like you that make it all worth while.
Have a great week,
Vaughan

Hi Wolfgang and Diane,
Now that I have the use of my limbs again (after all that planting): just wanted to tell you how beautiful your plants were when they arrived. They were in the ground last week, and doing nicely. Thanks so much for the extra goodies--the soap is wonderful, as are precious hydrangeas. Your plants are so big and juicy and in such good shape, you are at the top of my list for next years ordering. Ah! the gorgeous hellebores! the luscious ferns! makes up for all the little crappy rootbound plants I've been sent over the years from other "top" outfits.
Thanks so much again for taking such good care of your plants so that I can enjoy them!

Hi Wolfgang and Diane,
All my wonderful plants arrived today. They look wonderful! I have already planted them in pots until I can get them in the ground. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have rhodea, ginger, and Solomon's seal. I have only been able to find Rhodea in obscure nurseries and it is expensive so I am thoroughly delighted. I hope to be able to buy some more before you sell out. Thanks for a wonderful transaction again. I will be leaving feedback tonight. Have a restful night, Vaughan

Title: A gushing love letter
You were part of a Great Plant Vendor Experiment. I ordered about $8000 of plants from Dave's-Garden-Web-well-rated vendors for comparison and planted each type plant in the same bed. In the shrubs/hellebores/tiarella/ferns category, you were definitely Best in Show. Biggest, best packaging, healthiest looking plants to arrive, best survival rate, most thriving, AND best, most amusing (the ONLY amusing) customer service (I loved your emails and my presents --"Beni" and Sage soap-- especially). Your plants have come up gangbusters this spring. AND after that nasty late freeze we had. I gave all the plants good winter protection, but you'd be surprised at some of the other vendor's failure rates--some of 50%--not surprising after some of the tiny, weak, or pot bound plants I received last fall. Yikes. And yet they kvetch about replacing plants... So be very pleased with yourselves. My tiarella actually confused my husband with how much they grew and flowered this spring ("Wait--were those there last week?") and, thank you very much, my white and blue hellebores bloomed this last winter. The serratas are budding and gorgeous. All of your hydrangeas have exploded into fat cats. I have total confidence in your growership (is that a word?), I love graphic design/color of your website, I love your soap, and I look forward to getting muchacho plantus materialis from you always and forever, or at least until you sell out to some international conglomerate.
Thanks for helping make my yard gorgeous. You guys rock.

Title: Tennesee Earthworm
Hi Diane and Wolfgang,
My plants arrived on Wednesday in absolutely wonderful condition. Forgive my delay in letting you know. It was a misty, cloudy day so I potted everything with anticipation of a good drenching rain coming. Everything is doing great. The Betty Corning buds still look promising. Thanks for sending such a large, lovely, healthy plant with buds. In one of the bundles, I even got a West Tennessee earthworm! I was delighted to relocate him in my North Carolina garden. Thank you too so much for the special thank you American Ginger and Lance Corporal plants. I have ordered from a lot of nurseries but have NEVER gotten such lovely plants, delightful service, and prompt, thorough packing and shipping. Thank you for helping me in my gardening adventures. I will leave glowing comments on Dave's Garden soon. Thanks again. I hope to do another order soon.
Sincerely,
Vaughan

Wolfgang & Diane,
I left feedback on e-bay but needed to write you and thank you for the freebies! I also am so pleased with the size of the hellebore plant. I started growing hellebores from seed last year and I know how long it takes to get them to germinate and to grow. Because of this I was very touched that you would send these freebies.
It was a great surprise to open the package and a great start to the weekend.
Thanks again,

When you want to put some more up for auction, please let me know lol. I listed you on my fav sellers page :oD. I'll send you an up date once the Mojave summer hits just to let you know how they are doing under the conditions (just for your reference in case anyone asks or if you were curious).
Your feedback was already left and I can't get over the terrific customer service. It has been nice chatting back and forth getting educated on these particular plants. They look like real winners!!!

Title: Willows
Hi Diane and Wolfgang!
I wanted to let you know that those two curly willow trees you sent off to Kansas a couple months ago are doing great. They are beautiful! I have never ordered trees online before and was so surprised to see this super tall box (as was the mailman!). You do a wonderful job of wrapping and packing them and most of all...I APPRECIATED the planting instructions!!!!! I have orderd perennials online and bought many at local stores but no one ever tells you how to plant. I followed the instructions and my trees are so happy. I think maybe I killed the previous ones. I mixed in peat moss with the dirt and not well when they were planted. We have a lot of clay in the dirt here. I killed them because they did not look as happy as these do! I am so glad I found your site and I will return as well as tell others where to purchase. Take care and have great holidays!!!

Title: Ordering Age 6 to 50
I have been ordering plants through the mail since I was 6; I'm now just under 50. My first order with gardensoyvey, placed a week ago and received this week, has been, without question, the best interaction I can ever remember. The plants arrived healthy and beautifully packed, and are larger in size than I expected; they sent extras (I ordered 12 Leptodermis and there must be at least 18--several growing 2 per pot); they sent another extra ("one of our favorite hydrangeas"); and they responded to a special need I expressed in shipping & followed up to confirm. All that, and the prices were the best I found after many internet searches. I'll quit searching--I can't imagine buying mailorder anywhere else after this experience.

Title: Bubby Bush
Hello. I just recieved my bubby bush and I almost cried. It is beautiful. Thank you so much also for the personal note. That meant the world to me. I have a question though. The weather here is staying between the 50's and 40's during the days and then at night its dropping into the 20's. I'm scared to plant them and then they die. Will it be okay if I put them in a big flowering pot until the weather warms up? Once again thank you for being so thoughtful and I just wanted to let you know that you all are wonderful people to care that much about your customers and especially about someone you have never met.

Title: Only 8dollars
Hi Diane & Wolfgang,
I am writing this to let you know that I finally received the plants today. They came with a full of surprise-- first of all, I have purchased live plants on line many times, and this was the first time that I received plants that were not in pots. Secondly, the plants were all in great condition and beautiful! Finally, thank you for the gift plants that you gave me for the delayed shipping. Although, I knew from your email that there would be extra plants in the package, I was not expected to see so many, and you included one of my favorites! The one that is resemble to "Selaginella kraussiana 'Aurea' (Gold Tipped Club Moss)". I had this particular plant a few times and have never been successful keeping it alive for longer than three months. So, when I unpacked to find this similar plant, I was delighted. It was a little challenge for me to place it into a pot as the stems and roots were all tangled up and I could not really figure out what side was the top or bottom after soki!
ng it in water. I hope I did it correctly and the roots will settle down into the soil. Also, the moss was so pretty! I am going to get a nice, shallow pot for the moss. Regarding the other two, selaginella muelendorfii and similar one, I had never thought to buy them, but they are beautiful! Thank you so much. I bought only for 8 dollars and you gave me much, much more than that.
Sorry my lenghthy email. I have a question for you. I found a couple of tiny snails and a pill bug-like insect in the moss. Is it okay to leave them? Would they possibly be harmful to the moss?
Again, I am very happy about the plants and your service. I will definitely shop at your
nursery again next time.
With many thanks,
Aiko Yamamoto

Dear Diane and Wolfgang,
I'm so sorry to be slow in responding but have been busy entertaining our two little grandsons for a week. I have really enjoyed the friendly emails you've sent, the personal notes with the plants too and am completely thrilled with the hydrangeas. The serrata are gorgeous and it was a treat to have the extras as well as the kurenai gift! And the Betty Corning looks wonderful and well established. Truly I so appreciate the care you take in soaking, shipping and packing your plants for shipment. I have never received plant stock so lovingly handled!
I will be sure to leave feedback at Dave's Garden and will also try to have information about your website included in a Redding Garden Club newsletter in the fall.

I would have never thought to just scatter seeds so your excellent advice has brightened my beds and my life. Keep up the good work!!

Title: Poncyrus
I received these two(?!) trees two days ago, followed your directions and
planted them after soaking them for two hours as you recommend. I must tell
you, I am *thrilled* by the condition of these plants. They were quite
large, well-rooted, well-shipped, and I got two(?!).
I ordered one plant, I can only guess that perhaps you plant p. trifoliata
as pairs for successful cross-pollination? What really struck me is that
*both* plants are very healthy, and very large.
I will be ordering from you again. The quality of your plants combined with
your fast shipping serve to make me a guaranteed repeat customer.
A Carolina Jasmine, a lonicera sempervirens, and a monardia didyma are on my
April wish list. :)
Thanks so much!

Hi ya'll...Just wanted to say thanks for the great order I received last Friday. That sweetshrub was awesome! I hope everything will be OK, I got them in the ground the same day they arrived, but we got a lot of wind over the weekend followed by freezing temps for the last 2 nights. They haven't had much of a chance to settle into their new home.
I checked the H. serratas I just planted a couple weeks ago and has been so far so good, but that freeze has worried me with them being so newly planted, Think all will well?
