June 12, 2009 | I ordered 8 packages of seeds, 3 types of hollyhocks (that I couldn't find elsewhere) 2 types of butterfly bush, 2 types of mulva and a packet of mixed bonnet type columbine.
I recieved the order within 3 days of placing it and planted everything except the columbine the day after the seeds arrived, I put the columbine in the freezer for the 5 to 7 day freeze as mentioned on the seed packet.
It's still too early to report on germination rates... but so far, the service has been great.

December 21, 2008 | I've ordered daylily seeds from Teresa several times and every time I get an excellent germination and beautiful plants. Her prices are great and thanks to her, I get to have daylilies that otherwise I would have hard time affording. My new house has no daylilies whatsoever, so I am back for more seeds and varieties. I can't recommend her enough, everything has arrived on time, in excellent condition and with good instructions. |

October 22, 2008 | I was excited to find T's website and the selection of seeds and plants. I placed an order and selected to make payment by check. I sent my check in promptly, but did not receive the order. After 2 weeks had passed, I emailed asking when I might expect shipment. I received a reponse that payment had not been received. I contacted my bank to see if the check had been received and paid. It had. When I called Teresa, she told I needed to send a copy of the cancelled check to show that I had actually paid for the order and that she had actually endorsed it. I checked online and found a copy of the check endorsed by Teresa. I received a phone call from Teresa. She had finally found something to indicate that she might have cashed my check. I told her I was disappointed in the way this matter was handled. I will be watching for a refund in the mail.
On October 25th, 2008, bfmom changed the rating from negative to positive and added the following:
Teresa sent my check back and included some seed packets. I appreciate her thoughtfulness and the note she included. Sometimes first impressions can be proven wrong. I am glad to know that I was dealing with a caring individual who sought to make amends. Next time I will not post so hastily.
Since she has some wonderful BF host plants and good values, I will try again next spring.
Company representative comment on October 22, 2008:
On Oct 22, 2008 10:40 PM, T's Flowers & Things added:I suppose I deserve this. I did make a mistake. I apologized to Sandra and told her I'd send a refund immediately, and the soonest I can do that is tomorrow. I don't have foolproof methods, and I am prone to a mistake once in a while, especially with the work load I have. So yes, if you are concerned about an individually owned and operated business...from top to bottom.. by a person who might make a mistake, then it's not wise to order from me.
But I do my very best, at the utmost speed, to correct any mistake I might make. I do not cheat or defraud people, and I try to give the best possible service and product I can.
It is just sad to me that one is so quick to post a negative, but yet has never made any positive posts...and that within 15 minutes of our phone conversation where I indicated I would send a refund immediately.

May 16, 2008 | I've ordered both seeds and plants from this company over the past 2 years. Communication is excellent from ordering through shipping. Seeds shipped promptly, and plants at appropriate planting time. Prices are excellent, and I've been able to find some plants that are unavailable from many other sources. Everything I've ordered has done very well in my garden. I am amazed at what an excellent job Theresa does, and I will continue to order from her in the future.

promptly......Seed packets were in paper envelope with a small picture and directions....no germination rate listed, but
I think thats hard to determine unless you're a big company

July 13, 2007 | I recently placed and recieved an order with this company and am pleased. Teresa was very communicative and the plants were a great price. They were smaller plants in 4 inch pots, but with completely healthy root systems. Larger plants of the same varieties would have cost much, much more anywhere else. I will definitely purchase again, as she has some great deals on iris and I look forward to trying those out. |

April 25, 2007 | Theresa was very responsive to my emails. Although it was evening when I first began communicating, she got back to me within a half hour.
I purchased three echinacea Razzmatazz, at a much lower price from her. I received an email confirming the order, one to let me know when it would be sent, and another when it actually was sent. I received my order the next day and in good condition. Frankly, I'm amazed that one person could offer so much, and at such good prices.
I will definitely consider her again. |

Teresa has been very pleasant to deal with and has taken the time to communicate with me regarding shipping arrangements and make sure i was happy with everything.
I will update when the plants arrive & the seeds grow. |

August 09, 2006 | I ordered a number of plants from Teresa and have nothing but good things to say about the experience.
The plants are doing great and although small compared to another place I ordered from, all are growing beautifully.
The packing was excellent and they were in pots, which I believe is why they are doing so great now. Not bare root like another company.
Communication with Teresa was professional.
Overall a great experience and a great addition to my garden. |

June 02, 2006 | After placing my order on the afternoon of May 26th, I received five healthy Lychnis chalcedonica (Maltese Cross) less than a week later, even with a long holiday weekend in between. The plants were thoroughly wrapped for shipping protection and well watered to survive the trip. I am very pleased with my order, and find T's online perennial selection to be better than what my local nurseries in Omaha have available. |

August 01, 2005 | I am still a beginner at starting plants from seeds and what I ordered from T's Flowers did very well. I got the Bells of Ireland to germinate based on her instructions. I also had very good results from the mixed celosia, calleopsis, nigella, ageratim, and chim chiminee. My hellenium has buds on it, so I will have a perenial that blooms the first year! My digitalis is on par to bloom next year. I saved a lot of money ordering through T's and starting from seeds helped me get through the winter. |

May 24, 2005 | Hello fellow gardeners,
We are just starting our garden, and ordered some hard to find plants: monarda jacob cline, and tutti frutti agastache. At least they are hard to find in our local plant places!..
The order arrived on schedule; the plants were well watered, and wrapped in newspaper. They were much bigger then I expected!
The only downside was the wait (one person, good inventory, lots of orders) - but it was well worth it.
The plants were ever so slightly wilted when I opened them from the box, and one had a broken stem, but it may have been me taking them out of the box too roughly.
The day after planting in the ground, they are standing tall. It may be my imagination - but it looks like the Monarda stood up to almost a foot tall !
I would definately order again, just much earlier next time.
Thank you T! |

May 23, 2005 | Today I ordered Sedum purple emperor from T's. In the evening, my husband informed me that the paypal payment had been rejected. I was disappointed, but not completely unsurprised, since it's been sold out at several other online nurseries.
Imagine my delight when I checked my e-mail. It turns out that the Teresa no longer had the 3 1/2" pot size available. Instead, she was mailing me quart size plants instead (for the same price!), the only difference would be slightly increased shipping charges.
Who says customer service is dead? As far as I'm concerned, I'll be ordering more from here.
On May 10th, 2006, a2zmom added the following:
It's now a year later and my six sedum are growing beautifully. All have at least doubled in size, look wonderfully and were full of flowers last fall.
Thanks Teresa! |

October 22, 2004 | I've ordered seed from Teresa in the past. Her prices are phenomenal, shipping is prompt and germination results are high. I hope to order seed from her again and look forward to ordering bulbs and plants from her too.
On June 14th, 2006, CaptMicha changed the rating from positive to negative and added the following:
Changing a positive to a negative is a drastic difference but the seed that I germinated did not come true.
And I ordered a Spigela and a Dianthus from her, both were pitifully small plants, little more than plug size and the small pots weren't even half filled up with root growth.
Needless to say, those perennials didn't survive our unusually mild winter.
Company representative comment on June 16, 2006:
On Jun 16, 2006 9:22 AM, T's Flowers & Things added:I am very upset about this negative because this customer never made an attempt to let me know of the dissatisfaction of the plants, or that the seeds didn't come true. My policy clearly states that if you are unsatisfied with your plants when you receive them, return them for a full refund including shipping. I like to know if seeds don't come true, especially if they are commercial seeds. Most of the seed that I harvest is open pollinated, so I indicate on the web pages to expect some variation or that plants may not grow true to parent, such as aquilegias and buddleias. |

August 08, 2004 | I was rather persistent in ordering from T's Flowers recently,
as I've ordered from her before and been nothing but pleased.
I was not aware of her divorce until I'd pretty much
pestered the poor woman, and then she
explained her hesitation on my order.
Ah, but she went ahead and helped me!
Again, and even during her troubles, Teresa
was helpful and kind, filling my order as best she could,
and I completely understand a delay in such a
situation.
It's a shame more folks don't take into consideration these
are human beings processing their orders.
Teresa may have had difficulties, but she makes it right by the customer.
It is very difficult to run things by oneself, most
especially during troubling personal problems one does
not foresee.
My order arrived better than expected and I could not
ask more of her. I wish her only the best and a
smooth transition as her life enters a new phase.
A simple review of all the positive feedback she has
will show you that obviously her manner of conducting
business is very good.
When she is back to selling, I will be the first one
in line as a customer!

August 08, 2004 | My apologies to those who didn't receive their orders. I'm just a one person business trying to give a good product to home gardens at a very reasonable price. In late winter I received divorce papers. I had to make a quick move which caused my plants to be in disarray. I then had severe depression which I'm still trying to pull out of. But thanks to the help of friends, I was able to make refunds to those who placed orders which I couldn't fill either because of my state of mind or because I couldn't find the plants to ship. Thanks to all those others who didn't receive their orders for their patience.

P.S. my Iris bloomed 6 weeks after planting. It definately was a rebloomer and the lisianthus can not be beat by seed or by seedlings. Thank you! |
