I needed a birthday present for my dad who loves his garden, and I was after something he wouldn't already have. I went with a set of hand tools with a canvas roll. The ordering was simple and it arrived in time for the weekend. He was over the moon, so thanks for that.

I bought a selection of sweet pea seeds and some bamboo canes for the climbing frame. The seeds germinated really well and the canes are straight and strong enough for the wind we get here. Everything arrived neatly in one parcel and the instructions on the packets were clear. Happy with it all.

I needed new pots for the greenhouse as the old plastic ones had gone brittle and cracked. I've ordered from here for a long time and the terracotta pots are just as good as before. Delivery was quick and every one arrived intact. Good, sturdy pots at a sensible price.

Get the cordless hedge trimmer from here, I looked at two other sites first and this was the cheapest for the same battery size. Ordered on Monday and it came Wednesday. The blades are sharp and it cuts through my privet with no bother at all.

Bought a kit of stainless steel planters with the matching drip tray. The rivets were already in and the bolts lined up first go. Quick delivery and the box was in good order when it arrived. Nice finish too.

Our old mower blade had gone blunt and the grass was tearing rather than cutting, so I needed a replacement quickly before the lawn got away from me. Found the right one on the site, it fitted first time and the price was lower than the main dealer. Dispatch was next day and the box arrived well padded. Good value for a simple part.

Compared to the cheap strimmer I had before, this one starts first pull and the line feeds properly. The site made it easy to find the right spare spool too. Turned up Thursday, quicker than I expected. Would buy again.

Ordered a propagator and a pack of seed trays and the propagator was fine but the trays were the wrong size, just the smaller ones. Emailed them on Tuesday and didn't get a reply until Friday which was a bit annoying with the seeds sitting there waiting to go in. They sorted it once I'd messaged again and the right ones came Monday. Not a disaster but I'd have liked a quicker answer.

I have been ordering from them for years now, mostly bulbs, compost and the odd tool, and they have never let me down. This time I got a set of seed trays and a pair of secateurs. Everything turned up well packed and the prices are fair. The only thing I'd mention is the returns form is a bit fiddly to find on the site, but I've never actually needed to send anything back.

The first thing I noticed was how neatly the plant labels were packed, each one wrapped separately so none had snapped. I've been ordering their twine and labels for my allotment group for years and the quality hasn't dropped. Everything came quickly and the order form is easy to use. Always reliable for the little things.

I'd had a cheap pair of gardening gloves from a supermarket that split after one afternoon, so I tried these instead. They're noticeably thicker and the fingers have proper reinforcement. Arrived in a couple of days and the size was right first time. Much better than what I had before.

I'd been buying a similar pump sprayer from the local garden centre for about twice the money, so I tried this one to compare. The trigger action is smoother and the hose doesn't kink like the old one did. Arrived quick and the packaging was tidy. Worth the switch if you spray weeds or feed plants regularly.

I'd already compared three other sites before ordering the compost bin and this was the middle price. The bin arrived with one panel slightly bent at the corner, which I had to phone about, and it took a couple of days to get a reply. They sorted it in the end but I'd have liked a quicker response. The bin itself works fine.

I ordered a pair of long reach loppers for the apple tree at the back of the garden, which had got out of hand. They cut through the thicker branches quite cleanly and the handles are comfortable to hold for a while. The packaging was sensible and nothing was damaged on arrival. The only small quibble is that the blades needed a bit of oil before first use, which the instructions did mention. Good value for the job.

What struck me most was how sturdily the wheelbarrow was put together, the wheel is well fixed and the tray feels strong. I was pleasantly impressed with the packing too. Delivery was prompt and the order was simple to place. I'm very content with it.

I used to get my watering cans from a shop in town, but I switched to this site and haven't looked back. The can I got here is lighter to carry and the rose attachment gives a much gentler spray for my seedlings. Ordering was straightforward and the parcel came the next working day. I've already told my sister about it.

Pretty good for a first order, the tool set looks well made and I'm glad I went for it. Checkout was a bit slow on my phone but it went through in the end. Delivery arrived the day after dispatch.

Bought the raised bed kit, all the boards came in one box and the corner brackets were already drilled. Took me an afternoon to put together. Delivered in two days, quick and easy.

We needed a replacement hose reel for the allotment after the old one cracked in the frost and we wanted something that wouldn't cost a fortune. The reel itself is decent enough and the price was lower than the big garden centres. Delivery took a bit longer than the site said, about five days, but nothing got damaged and it does what it's meant to do. Fair value for what it is.

My first order was a hanging basket kit with the chains and a bag of peat free compost. Everything arrived in one box and the basket was easy to put together with the instructions. The only niggle is the compost came in a slightly smaller bag than I expected from the photo, but the plants were healthy and it's been doing well on the balcony.
