Rating Author Content Positive rvnsbrk Leesburg, VA (Zone 7a) (6 reviews) December 3, 2009 First time buyer thanks to a gift certificate someone gave me. What awesome plants arrived. Never in a million years did I expect such large, well formed and happy plants. They were packed superbly and I can't wait to get something from them again! Positive arizonadirt Mesa, AZ (Zone 9b) (3 reviews) November 24, 2009 Ordered for the first time this fall from Almost Eden. I purchased eight plants on this first order to see how this mail order nursery would do. I can definitely add this company to my own personal top five! They hit all the right marks. Plants were very well packaged, and the plants themselves were excellent as to size and root development. Selection and price were also above average. A month in and they are all doing well. Would (and will) order from Almost Eden again. Positive gardenercookie Crestview, FL (1 review) November 12, 2009 Ordered a red banana tree in a four inch pot. The plant was larger than I had expected it to be, which was quite pleasing. The communication was excellent as was the packaging. I will definitely order from them again; in fact I've already got my shopping list going. Positive HRMSanny Beaufort, SC (3 reviews) October 28, 2009 I have NEVER been disappointed in my purchases from Almost Eden. Today's delivery was no exception. My plants arrived in perfect condition - healthy, gorgeous & ready to plant. As soon as I unpacked the box they looked as though I had just driven them home from a local nursery. You can count on a great selection of hard to find "must haves" from Almost Eden. Best of all their communication with you when needed is prompt! They are simply a top notch company!! Positive Acacius48 Federal Heights, CO (6 reviews) October 25, 2009 I recently ordered from Almost Eden and received great healthy plants. The plants were packaged great. I emailed them with a question and they responded very quickly. I do appreciate the great communication that they have. I had a very great experience with them and will purchase from them again! Positive mb80 Apache Junction, AZ (1 review) October 22, 2009 My order came promptly, was packed wonderfully and the plants were beautiful. I appreciated the way Almost Eden kept in touch. I felt that they really cared about the condition of my plants. I will recommend them to all my friends. Positive srduff Boynton Beach, FL (1 review) October 21, 2009 I was totally satisfied with my order and shipment from Almost Eden. I placed my order on a Thursday and received an immediate response. The next Monday, I received an email telling me when the order would ship so I could make arrangements to make sure the order didn't sit in the mail truck or outside too long in the heat. On Wednesday, the order came. I was impressed by how secure The plants were packed. They were well rooted and look very healthy. The whole process took less than a week. I'm looking forward to my next purchase with this grower. Positive phdbot1 Gainesville, GA (10 reviews) October 13, 2009 I just started dealing with this company this spring, summer and fall, but can't be happier with what I've seen thus far. Plants are big and healthy and are impeccably packed for shipment. Shipment is fast. They deal with hard to find old-fashioned sub-tropicals, butterfly and hummingbird plants and even house plants. Sizes are great and plants really get growing when they're put in the right spaces. I have plans to order again the coming spring 2010 and anticipate excellent service then! Positive hummer_girl Saint Louis, MO (Zone 6a) (12 reviews) October 9, 2009 I made my first purchase from Almost Eden in March 2008: Spicy Justicia (Justicia Spicigera) *budding/blooming on arrival*, Red Cape Honeysuckle (Tecoma Capensis), Red Ruellia (Ruellia Elegans) *budding/blooming on arrival*, Indian Pinks (Spigelia Marilandica), Baja Fairy Duster (Calliandra Californica), Blue Butterfly Bush (Clerodendrum Ugandense). Plants were shipped within 2 weeks. All plants were very large specimens and very well packed. Absolutely no stress or damage during shipping. I was impressed, but because March, April and May were overcast, wet and chilly for the most part, all the plants spent time under grow lights inside, with little outside sun-worshipping time until the latter part of April when temps allowed them to stay outside around the clock with eastern sun exposure. There were a few iffy cool nights, but the plants did fine. Right before planting time, the Indian Pink was broken off at the base accidently by my husband. Because the plant had a healty root base, I mothered it along until new growth appeared. The plant now has buds ready to open. The Red Ruellia are potted on the east-facing front porch and are beautiful. I put the Red Cape Honeysuckle in the ground, with more shade than sun, and it isn't happy. I'm going to replant in a pot and put on the west-facing patio. The Spicy Justicia, blooming when it arrived, was trimmed back in late May to make it bushier, and I'm waiting for it to hopefully bloom again. The Baja Fairy Duster is a slow grower and I'm hoping it will flower before it has to go inside for the winter. Its location is more shade than sun, but through trial and error I discovered if the Fairy Duster has too much sun, the foliage closes up! The Blue Butterfly Bush hasn't bloomed yet, but I've had to prune it twice because it wants to outgrow its space. Next year I'll have to find another place with more room for expansion. Everything is tropical for my area but the Indian Pinks, something new I wanted to try, different plants that are hummer friendly and not found at local nurseries, so everything has to come in for the winter. So far I'm impressed with the quality and size of the plants I received from Almost Eden. I've already revisited their Hummer-Friendly Plants pages and started a list of other plants I want to try next year. Of all the mail-order online nursery/garden retailers I've bought from this year, (approximately 7) I have to say the largest plants came from Almost Eden, and all of the plants were healthy and solidly rooted. On October 9th, 2009, hummer_girl added the following: I love sales at nurseries, and Almost Eden always has plants I want for my hummers. I took advantage of their Fall Sale and ordered hummer plants for next year; of course, the plants will have to spend the winter inside under lights. I ordered Buddleja lindleyana (a perennial for my area, but I'm still keeping it inside because it is cold and wet here and I don't think the plant will have enough time to acclimate, if planted outside, before it really gets cold), Justicia spicigera, 2 Ruellia elegans, Russelia sarmentosa, and Almost Eden sent along a Skullcap as a surprise. So very nice! Of all the online nurseries I buy plants from there are only 2 who pack their plants best; Almost Eden is one. The plants arrived in perfect condition, some with buds, which have since opened. All of the plants have good, full, healthy roots, and the shipping is so fast, blink, and the mail person is ringing your doorbell. Thanks, John. You're the best! Positive Toni05 Brookfield, IL (43 reviews) October 7, 2009 Deciding whether or not to choose neutral or negative was difficult..I ordered 3 plants from Almost Eden..two came in good condition. The third was a camellia..A dead camellia. I wrote to the company, and was told they would ship a plant the following week. By the way, I purchased these plants in April 2005. On June 6, I received another email (after sending two to Jeff) and he wrote back saying they'd send a replacement the following week..It's now August and I've yet to get anything, including a simple email..I would understand if it was a busy time of year, but it's not. BTW, before I got the plants I ordered, I received two small hedges I never ordered.. I'm sure it was someone else's plants..poor souls..probably still waiting for them..Since these hedges weren't hardy to my zone, there was nothing I could do with them...I don't want hedges anyway. I'd think twice about ordering from this company.. On August 31st, 2006, Toni05 changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following: Received a beautiful Crown of Thorns today..it was sent promptly and packaged excellently. On May 16th, 2007, Toni05 added the following: Plants arrived in excellent condition and well-packaged..I received 2 plants: dwarf variegated Gardenia, and variegated Angelwing Jasmine..both plants were larger than anticipated.. The Jasmine has numerous flowers, and neither stems/branches/flowers on either plant were broken. I'm fussy when it comes to ordering/buying plants..and was also happy to find these plants pest/disease free..Toni On October 11th, 2007, Toni05 added the following: Received 3 Crown of Thorns today..All are beautiful, foliage filled. One is flowering. Plants arrived promptly, and well-packaged. Not one broken leaf or stem. He's great with emails, too..I had a question, and he answered the same day. Toni On November 7th, 2007, Toni05 added the following: Received 4 gorgeous plants today from Almost Eden Plants.. Gout Plant, 2 Orchid Crown of Thorns and Euphorbia millii (Peach/ COT"S) Sizes are incredibly huge for prices. Heights of plants range from 13-17", from bottom of pot to highest tip of foliage. Emails are answered promptly. Because I was having computer problems, and had a few questions for John. I phoned him and we had a nice conversation. He's very pleasant, quite helpful and a knowledgeable person. Plants were well-packaged.. Taped newspaper prevented soil from leaking. He then placed cardboard, covering entire plants and pots to stay in place. I love Almost Eden,...To gardeners looking for rarer, insect-free, healthy plants at reasonable prices, give them a try..Toni On April 9th, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Received 4 good-sized plants from Almost Eden today. Allii Ficus, Banana Magnolia, Changshou Kumquat, and Variegated Gardenia. (The variegation on gardenia is spectacular) Plants are potted in 4" plastic growing pots, and quite tall, considering price. Tallest is 18", smallest 12". Plants are pest-free, after a thorough inspection. Chris and Gretchen are quick responding to emails. Plants are well-packaged, and shipping super fast. Toni On May 22nd, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Received 4 more plants from Almost Eden today. Variegated standard and dwarf Gardenias, Thai (almost white) Crown of Thorns and Ficus Allii. Plants are large, in good health, and pest-free. Almost Eden has great prices, especially considering the sizes and general health. It's obvious they care for their plants, and ship the best quality which is one reason I shop with them. The owners are most helpful. Emails are answered promptly. Plants are well packaged: each are packed in corrigated tubing, holding each plant in place. Plants arrived quickly, considering this is their busy season. I love shopping at Almost Eden. Toni On March 18th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: I love Almost Eden. I ordered when temperature was cold, cold as in, 30's F. Mr. McMillian notified me, concerned my plants would freeze while travelling between LA and IL. He even kept an eye on the Weather Channel, and shipped when he felt it was safe to do so. During the wait, he kept in touch, reassuring, more than any other nursery owner would do, and believe me, I order from quite a few places. I received nine plants, secured with tape, then wrapped within rolled cardboard. He shipped plants Monday, they arrived today, Wed, two days later. If I didn't know better, I'd think he hand-delivered. lol Plants are healthy and insect-free, packed with buds and/or flowers. They're much larger than most other nurseries send, especially considering prices. Mr. McMillian has the patience of a saint. When I phone in an order, I can yak up a storm about plants. He's helped me choose, and honest when it came to size..If he felt a plant needed a little more time to grow before shipping, he brought it to my attention. I really appreciate his honesty. Almost Eden offers numerous varieites too, another plus. I'm sold. For those of you who are looking for an online nursery, give Almost Eden a shot. Toni On October 7th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: 10-7-09....I ordered plants via the phone. John is a sweetheart and quite helpful. Bonnie is also very a sweety and knowledgeable. She sure knows her plants..They both do. My Oct '09, and probably last order of the year, 'though Almost Eden has some beauty's on sale, ' lol arrived this morning. Order consisted of Hoya lacunosa, Breynia 'Snow Bush, Mt. Fuji Serissa variegata, Pindo Palm, Dwarf Natal Plum and Brown Turkey Fig.. Plants are good size, tall and/or compact, healthy, pest-free, and variegated plants are evenly and vividly colored. Plants are shipped enclosed in a cardboard roll; roll holds two plants. Each plant includes a label, and clear tape holds tag and a preventative so soil doesn't spill. Shipment took 7 days, but the order was placed after 4pm Cental/Midwest time. A printed informatioin sheet and LA Dept Certificate are included. The sheet provides name of plant, description, basic care, quantity, and price of each plant ordered. I'd like to thank Bonnie and John for taking time to answer questions during our conversation..so Thank You. To GardenWatchdog: I want to thank you for providing such a wonderful service. Not only is your site helpful to those of us who enjoy plant shopping, but is one way to find if a nursery is worthy of spending our hard-earned money..what to expect once we place an order..So Thank You, too. There is one suggestion I'd like to make, which may or may not make a difference. :) or worth the effort altering your format. Is there a way, 'when we leave multiple feedback for the same nursery,' instead of finding the latest on page 10, 20 or 30, the last would go back to page one??? Please don't think I'm telling you how to run your business, and I'm sorry for making a suggestion here, (I don't know if there's a way to contact GWD,) it's just a thought. IMO, it'd be a great help, or otherwise, to a nursery..it shows 'That Positive Feedback' sincere, especially if a person shops at 'X' nursery repeatedly.. Thanks, Toni T. Positive bdanwood College Station, TX (2 reviews) October 2, 2009 Excellent service. Fast shipping. High quality plants. Great company and I will buy from them again. Positive clabarge Graham, NC (1 review) September 24, 2009 I'm so totally impressed with this company!!! Originally I was looking for Indian Pinks and ordered them. Then I began to check out their other plants and I ordered several plants to landscape the back of my property. They saw that I had 2 orders and offered to refund the shipping of one or give me a plant of my choice. I chose the plant and told them it could be of their choice. Most companies would have just shipped the orders separately. The variety of available plants was when I first became impressed. The quality, condition and size of these plants are superb! The packing was unbelievable. They made sure none of the plants would be damaged during shipment. All plants were still moist or wet upon receipt. The delivery was very fast. Their plant prices and shipping rates are unbeatable. I definitely recommend you check them out. When you receive your order you'll see why I'm so impressed. Positive karyn1 Silver Spring, MD (15 reviews) September 10, 2009 Having never bought from Almost Eden I only placed a small order, 2 hardy varieties and 1 tropical. The communication was excellent. I received a confirmation email immediately after placing the order and another the next day with the shipping info. The plants are great. They arrived within a week, were carefully packed and bigger then I expected. I will certainly buy from this company again. Positive myzenspace18 Irvine, CA (1 review) August 14, 2009 My experience with Almost Eden was perfect!! I have ordered from other mail order sources but I was very pleased with the ease of ordering, the simplicity of the ordering process and the final arrival of the carefully, very tenderly packaged plants that arrived in a superb condition, far better than had I toted them home from the corner nursery!!! The plants were a fairly unique set of tropical beauties, each came in healthy and fresh, well watered and alive... It is evident from the packaging of the plants that the owners are passionate about what they do and we wish them every success ahead.... I will most certainly be ordering from them very soon... Good luck and happy plantings!!!! Positive roseshop602 San Antonio, TX (1 review) August 14, 2009 My plants arrived in PERFECT CONDITION. They were carefully wrapped, perfectly packaged and sustained no stress! I am thrilled with my experience with Almost Eden and will continue to be loyal to a business that cares about its product and customers. Positive Judyinflorida Jacksonville, FL (2 reviews) August 7, 2009 My first order from Almost Eden - a nightblooming jasmine. It arrived in great condition and nice size for the price. I was very impressed with the customer service and will be buying more plants in the near future. Positive CyndeeT Kingston, NY (2 reviews) August 3, 2009 MAGNIFICENT!!! I ordered Lady Margaret Passion Vines, Trumpets , Datura's & several varieties of cacti.. when the package arrived, I was pleasantly surprised with the professional packaging!! each plant (8) was carefully & individially wrapped and taped to it's own corregated tube insuring they would all arrive intact. Well, That was just wonderful!! I was able to pot up each plant and they had absolutely NO STRESS!! They are happy and thriving as if purchased locally. Thank you for a Job well Done! You are now my favorite! I will return! as for that Prior COMMENT~> Totally unnecessary and should be removed they just posted without properly giving you the opportunity to fix a COMMON ISSUE.. sometimes a phone call is the BEST MEDICINE Shame on them! they could have resolved some other way I Hope their statements get buried in a pile of RICH Manure and the POSITIVENESS about your Company will Prevail !! 2 Thumbs Up! Negative johnsvmf Morgantown, WV (Zone 6a) (7 reviews) July 23, 2009 I received 3 whips with 2 in poor shape and one which is very leggy. The Good. 1 Nice folks 2 No sign of RKN Not so good 1 Four inch pots with two out of three plants poorly rooted 2 Poor condition of plants (1 plant with 1 leaf, and another with 2 leaves) both of which show signs of stress. 3 Poorly done web page. I let the owner know that when the customer attempts to submit an order they are requested to input their personal information on an http url and not an https url. This is generally a bad ideal given the fact that Identity Theft is a growing problem. Please look at the link below that does a better job of addressing the http and https issue. Short story I would not place an on-line order with Almost Eden until they fix this issue. Title of article: "http vs https" http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/https.asp As for the fig plants, time will only tell if the plants are authentic. I give Almost Eden a C minus and will not be a return customer. On July 24th, 2009, johnsvmf changed the rating from neutral to negative and added the following: John, Setting the Facts Straight: 1. You acted unethically by fixing the http/https issue between the time I posted the review last night and your post, pretending it was never an issue. 2. I ordered the products on-line and then informed you of the http/https deficiency. Originally your web-site did provide limited security by protecting the credit card information (as I originally indicated) and I have taken other personal identity protective measures (previously) not provided by your website. Not as you indicated in your post that I ordered after we had the http/https dialog. 3. I believe my initial rating provided you the benefit of doubt even though I received inferior plants two out of three which: show stress exhibiting Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV), poorly rooted, one plant with 1 leaf and the second with 2 leaves. Inferior plants at any price are not a bargain. 4. I don't think I attacked you or personalized this issue which you did. 4. I do apologize if the comment about the authenticity was offensive. It was not directed at you, I have received plants from credible sources that I am convinced accidently mixed up tags. As you probably know juvenile fig plants cannot be reliably identified by leaf shape. Before I wrote the review last night I checked your site on several different browsers (Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) and on two different computers to see if you corrected the http/https deficiency that we communicated about approximately 10 days ago. I informed you that your web-site didn't protect your customers while inputting their; name, address, city, state postal code, phone, email, country, all the same information needed for shipping, and the order confirmation page. However, I did let you know that your customers were directed to an https url when inputting their payment information (e. g. Card Type, Card Number, Name on Card, Expiry (your spelling) Date mm/yy/, Card Holder Address, Card Verification Number). You thanked me and said you would have the issue corrected. After 10 days and my post I am glad you corrected the http issue but I am disappointed with the attacks, spin control and inferior plants so I have changed my rating accordingly. Company representative comment on July 24, 2009: On Jul 24, 2009 9:30 AM, Almost Eden Plants responded with: We appreciate astute comments. In rebuttal, I wish to say that he wrote us about the security issue, and we replied that ALL of our order pages have the following urls: each of the 4 pages you go through has the https (‘s’ means ‘secure’) . One question coming up is, why did he continue the order he sent us, if that was an issue? I can only think he did not see, or read, our reply, made AFTER he ordered, so I think this comment is unfair. [HYPERLINK@almostedenplants.com] ,https://almostedenplants.com/shopping/shopcustomer.asp, , [HYPERLINK@almostedenplants.com] [HYPERLINK@almostedenplants.com] The fig trees were young, but healthy, (no sign of RKN he says), and reasonably priced, according to other dealer prices, so I am not sure about his issue with those plants. As to his comment about the trees being ‘authentic’, that one stinks. We grow these from our own producing trees only, and tag them from beginning to end to ensure total accuracy. I give him a D minus. John McMillian, owner, Almost Eden Plants On Jul 24, 2009 10:00 PM, Almost Eden Plants added: Yes, I was wrong twice. We did have an issue, but our site manager fixed it lately, and of course I am glad of that. I got mixed up there, as I am no computer wizard, I will admit. And I was wrong to get angry when I felt like the veracity of our product tagging was being challenged. We do try so hard to be accurate and to ship a fair-value product. In retrospect I wish he had simply asked for a refund rather than allowing me to feel challenged, but it seems like that was not in his plan. It has been a long while since we have gotten anything but good reviews, and we have made many good friends along the way, thanks, everyone. John Positive Paul264 Shreveport, LA (1 review) July 17, 2009 My communications have been exceptional with Almost Eden. The plants that I ordered came packaged very well and in excellent condition. The service and plants were more than I had expected, so I'll be checking their website in the future for my plant needs. Positive Katinka16 Wilmington, DE (1 review) July 17, 2009 I ordered an August Beauty Gardenia from Almost Eden last week. I quickly received an e-mail notifying me as to when they would ship it and providing me instructions for how to prepare for receiving my shipment. They shipped my plant as promised on Monday. I received it two days later. It was wrapped very well in a protective corrugated cardboard sleeve inside the box, and the bottom of the plant was wrapped in plastic. The soil was still relatively moist given the journey from Almost Eden to Delaware. The plant was in excellent shape. I would definitely order from Almost Eden again. Positive jt3223 Bellevue, WA (2 reviews) July 10, 2009 I am pleased with your products and the service from your company thanks Positive watsuwendy Oxnard, CA (1 review) July 8, 2009 I ordered 4 vines. They were much bigger than I expected (great value!). I'm going to have to construct a trellis right away! The packaging was extraordinary. The plants arrived in good time and they look fantastic! Positive emh48 Premont, TX (Zone 9b) (9 reviews) July 5, 2009 Have ordered from this company several times.. always happy with thier plants.. Positive pumi_mac Wolcott, CT (1 review) July 2, 2009 I ordered 6 plants and I am quite satisfied with the quality and the way that they were shiped. Positive scubadoo Mountain View, CA (1 review) June 25, 2009 I just received a few Giant Turk's Cap plants from EAP, and they came through the mail in perfect condition. When I was investigating this species, email transactions were quick and very helpful. I can't wait so see how they mature over the next couple of years. Positive hwylo Wilmington, NC (1 review) June 24, 2009 Excellent service and an excellent specimen a ("blue ginger") arrived today. I was surprised at how LARGE the plant that arrived was! I'd been wanting to try growing this here in coastal carolina for a few years; when I finally decided to order a plant, I found Almost Eden's shipping prices were the only ones less than the listed price of the plant- which was also pretty reasonable. I plan on being a repeat customer. Positive peoniae Malvern, PA (Zone 6b) (1 review) June 24, 2009 I bought two different species of jasmine and a crossandra, the plants were wll packed, healthy and in good condition. Positive FLStu Spring Hill, FL (Zone 9a) (5 reviews) June 17, 2009 I have received two orders (my first two) from AE recently and was very impressed not only by the quality and size of the plants, but with the packiing as well. Most of the packing can be recycled as they ship the plants wrapped in corregated cardboard tubes. I was also impressed by the personal service given. I had wanted a plant temporarily out of stock, and they worked with me, sending two plants when they were established enough in their nursery. I fully recommend AE. Their plants are money well spent. Positive desireeaaron Valmeyer, IL (1 review) June 5, 2009 This was my FIRST experience in ordering plants online. I investigated all the companies listed on this site and decided to go with ALMOST EDEN. My order came to over $100.00. I was VERY VERY pleased with my order. It arrived one day after it was shipped. All the plants (6) were wrapped carefully, in great shape and were still moist. I planted them immediately and they are all doing fabulously well. I definitely will order from this company and ONLY THIS COMPANY for all of my future gardening plant needs. Positive musaboru Ontario, CA (5 reviews) May 31, 2009 I placed an order on April 26 for a Calycanthus 'Venus' and a Tabernaemontana and received them promptly. The packaging was very excellent. They let you know when your order is received and when they ship it. Awesome customer service I would say. My only gripe was issues with the growing medium and the roots of the Tabernaemontana. It was very root bound when I received it. Normally, I would have loosen up the roots and replace most of the old soil but I was not sure how this plant could react to disturbing its roots. So I just potted it into a plastic 1 gallon pot with potting soil as it was. I watered it everyday but I notice the leaves were drooping still. Then I noticed that the original soil around the roots (I think its oasis?) became hydrophobic after having had dried up while the new potting soil around it was moist. I resolved this by soaking the 1 gallon pot into a bucket of water and let the whole growing medium soak up water. As long as it doesn't dry up completely again, then one should have no more problems. Positive carolatcj Carl Junction, MO (2 reviews) May 29, 2009 I was very pleased with the beautiful, healthy plants I received from Almost Eden. All the plants were large and well packed. They kept me informed about the status of my order, and let me know when it shipped. I highly recommend this company. They are a very professional nursery, and I will definitely use them again. Positive paulwm Brighton, MA (1 review) May 25, 2009 Almost Eden are wonderful. They communicate well and do a great job of packing and shipping the plant in a way that ensures their survival. The plants I bought from them were excellent specimens and good value for the money. I am 100% sure that I will be a repeat customer. Paul M Company representative comment on May 25, 2009: On May 25, 2009 4:32 PM, Almost Eden Plants responded with: We here at Almost Eden would be nothing without the great customers we have. Thanks to all of you, once again. John and the crew. Positive Rick56 Amarillo, TX (1 review) May 18, 2009 These folks were very helpful on the phone, shipped my plants promptly, and the the plants arrived in fine shape. I'll do business with them again. Positive rhettdog Jefferson, GA (7 reviews) May 8, 2009 My first order from AE arrived today...healthy and happy! The trumpet vines were over 30 inches tall...I was quite surprised!! The Candy Lily plants were equally healthy and ready to be a part of a GA. flower garden. Packaging was perfect. John worked with us to make sure the order arrived ASAP before we went out of town. Wonderful, caring, and considerate company. Thank you agan. We will return!! Positive TrixGin Weatherford, TX (1 review) April 30, 2009 Ordered first time from AE a few weeks ago and received super speedy service and the plants where awesome and packaged wonderful! Large healthy and some ready to bloom and blooming! Loved the plants so much that I just received my 2nd order today, again awesome and beautiful/blooming plants! I will be a repeat buyer from this company, a big 2 green thumbs up! Highly recommended! Positive gardenguyaz Chandler, AZ (Zone 9b) (2 reviews) April 30, 2009 Excellent company. One of my favorites. Shipments are quick! Plants are always extremely healthy and well cared for. The first place I look for any plant I want to purchase. R. Alan Zelhart Positive raven20 Cary, NC (1 review) April 29, 2009 Excellent service and packaging - the best packaging I've seen! And they are the only purveyor of the plant that I wanted who actually had it in stock. I'll order from them again. Positive nolabug New Orleans, LA (Zone 9b) (4 reviews) April 29, 2009 In years of internet plant ordering, this was my most satisfactory transaction. They were shipped in a timely fashion and arrived quickly. The plants were larger than I expected. They were very well packaged, with protective corrugated wrapping. They were extremely healthy and have grown like gangbusters in the six weeks since planted. All I can say is WOW. Positive CharlesAllen Culpeper, VA (1 review) April 23, 2009 Was most satisfied, Extremely fast service, had exactly what I was looking for, packaging was best ever, plants were in excellent shape when I received them. Can not say enough good things about ALMOST EDEN will recommend to anyone who will listen to me. Thanks again Positive trackinsand mid central, FL (Zone 9a) (25 reviews) April 16, 2009 just received my second order from AE. the plants from the first order a year ago are thriving and i am totally impressed with this latest delivery. some still had blooms on them. their packing is probably the best of the best and it's also easy to get the plants out and unwrapped once you get the hang of the first one. they have unique and different species to choose from too. you won't be sorry-go for it! On July 8th, 2009, trackinsand added the following: 3rd order safely out of the box and ready for the garden. i absolutely love this nursery and the people working there. had a nice telephone chat with them the other evening. they are real people with really great plants! hooray!
