Testimonials

Your delivery was safely received here yesterday, as you had advised, and we were so grateful for the forethought of your delivery man who telephoned in advance to advise approximate delivery time – and he was spot on! The plants are absolutely lovely, extremely healthy and I am delighted with their size and quality – thank you very much. I shall make sure not to plant them too deeply this time. Would you please pass on my warm greetings and thanks to David Millais, too. Kind regards

Mr EGB, South Glamorgan. November 2009

Mr DA, London. November 2009

Plants have arrived in good condtion. Very good quality plants - Thank you.

CR, Suffolk. November 2009

Thanks for the new plants, they are looking very good. You may like to know John took a couple of your Naomi and Naomi Exbury across to M.C. in Ireland last week. The head gardener was thrilled with the plants which have put on a good root system and bushy growth.

LR. Senior Gardener, New Forest. November 2009

This line should have been sent a fortnight ago. So thrilled with the plant consignment. Outstanding quality, and amazingly the order was complete down to the last plant which, considering the numbers and varieties, was quite an achievement. So, once again, thank you so much. In ten years’ time, these plants will be another showcase in our woodland garden. I hope you will be free (in) May next year to come and see them in situ? Although I fear you are always otherwise engaged around that time of year.

Lord L. November 2009

Just to say got delivery, all in good shape; well done on first class service. I don’t often compliment but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the whole experience; much better than those boys on the road to Dundee.

Mr A M, Glasgow. October 2009

The plants arrived this afternoon (23rd October) in first class condition. My wife and I are much impressed at the quality of your rhododendrons, and delighted to have them for planting in our garden. Many thanks for your efficient processing of our order.

Mr and Mrs H, York. October 2009

Mrs R,Cheshire, October 2009

Half an hour ago I received the eagerly awaited parcel from Millais Nursery.What a surprise! I first thought that there is a mistake but then I saw your friendly covering note.Thank you so much for the beautiful Rh. flinkii.This is a species i had in mind for the future,now I am happy to have it right now.Meanwhile I planted them out and I hope they grow as well as the other Rhodos from your nursery.

Mr BH, Germany, October 2009

This e-mail to confirm the arrival in perfect condition of the two azaleas I ordered. I shall follow planting directions carefully and hope to have some lovely blooms in May. You mentioned wanting "feedback" - I came across the yellow azalea luteum AGM in the French gardening review "Amis des Jardins", but it was impossible to find an example in a French nursery - I don't know where they hide them ! I was delighted to come across your website and find this azalea - hope to visit your gardens and nursery on my next trip to England. I garden in the Jura mountains at 650m unfortunately on lime soil, but have had success with other rhodos with care and upkeep. I'm very satisfied with your presentation and thank you.

JH, France, October 2009

Just to let you know that my order has arrived safely today and that the plants are excellent. Thank you very much indeed.

Mrs AN, Oxford, August 2009

Mrs MS, August 2009

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent service, and the quality of the Rhododendrons, which were received as promised. I'll be back for more.

Mr DL, June 2009

Thank you for remembering our interest in Azalea Freya. The plant arrived on June 10th as you said, in perfect condition and was planted within 3 hours of arrival. Thank you also for the splendid rhododendron insigne which I bought from you when the Harlow Carr (Rhododendron) Group visited you 3 years ago. It has settled in well on its slight mound and this year flowered for the first time, with flowers of a delightful delicate pink, darker markings down the centre of petals and a lime green stigma, which makes a charming contrast. And the foliage of course is a year round joy. Altogether a lovely plant, thank you.

Mr RJ, Harrogate, June 2009 , June 2009

A brief note to say that the Rhododendrons arrived this morning – happily sooner than I expected – and all look extremely fine. Thank you. The driver was here bang on the button of his stated time and was most helpful. It's very refreshing to have something happen as it should and to work with people who do what they say.

Meanwhile I hope things continue well with you and with the nursery.
