  Company Comment, posted on March 19, 2009:  
Brushwood Nursery grows over 400 different vines and climbers including many native species. We offer an amazing number of clematis along with an assortment of passion flowers, climbing roses, jasmines, honeysuckles and many other vines.
In some ways Brushwood is an old fashioned nursery, actually propagating and growing plants ourselves. This allows us to offer rare vines and to keep a high standard of quality.
In other ways we are very "high tech" using the latest in e-commerce web security, automated greenhouse equipment and organic growing techniques.
For the last ten years, we've been proud to ship high quality vines all across the country and look forward to serving you in our next ten years!

1st time ordering from Brushwood and thrilled with plants. They arrived promptly and were packed well. They had to wait a week for me to decide exactly where to place them and dig through the clay, amend soil and such but they're looking very pleased - pinched back a tad but recovered perfectly with much growth already. Great communication, prices & plants! Highly recommend :-)

Ordered three clematis from Brushwood--Niobe and 2 Josephines. Josephine was the weekly sale, so the price was great. I am happy with everything about this order. The vines are a nice size. They arrived well-packed in good condition, ready to take off. They've been here about a week and all three have grown about 8 inches already.

Exceptional Company! I purchased a Zephirine Drouhin Rose and it is just beautiful. It was packaged so well, it just amazed me that a company actually cares about how their pants arrive.

It is ready to plant and, I believe this company works for and deserves it's high ratings. I will order more later on and I will recommend them to everyone I know.

One last thing, I scheduled delivery when I placed the order and they in fact shipped on time, and it was received right away. No worries if you order!

WOW. Jasmine Fiona's Sunrise and clematis Kiri Te Kenawa arrived exceptionally packaged and staked, with intact, moist root balls and vigorous new growth. What a contrast to the spindly, dried-out, sickly twigs I received from other online companies. Greenwood Nursery is my new standard.

This is my third order from Brushwood. which recently moved to Georgia from Pennsylvania. Dan did not miss a beat in the move and on very short notice provided me with top quality clematis... perhaps the best I have ever received! The packing is impeccable and the size of the plants very generous. Dan's response time would be nearly impossible to beat. I am not sure whether he is in your top 30, but he certainly should be!
Looking for a good variety of top quality vines with the very best service? This is the place! Look no further

It is late March here and I recently received my fourth order from this wonderful nursery. It was the same exceptional service with the best clematis ever.... the came with buds, are growing like weeds, and are already blooming. They simply cannot be beat and deserve their place in the top 30...

The move to Georgia certainly did not hurt... our newest arrivals are of the same top quality and in six weeks time are in full bloom. Looking for clematis? The quality and varieties offered by Brushwood are the very best for their very reasonable prices.

I ordered from Brushwood again and I think these plants were even more beautiful than last time. The vines were fully rooted into the pots without being bound and when I unpacked them they were fresh and bright with just enough moisture - not wet or rotting. One of the two best mail orders I've gotten this spring!

i ordered two jasmine vine plants from Brushwood Nursery

these guys are Way over in GA so that's a very long Way to ship live plants.

i had my plants shipped a little early becaue they are going to be raised in my living wall indoors

i received the two Jasmine plants today Feb 16 and they were is better then perfect condition.

bright green and the vines were actually still sprouting side shoots.

they were potted in high quality pots.

the boxes they use are of the best quality and if you ever ordered plants you know the shipping box is the key in shipping.

they did a great job in packaging them and i would highly recommend every one to order from Brushwood Nursery.

they sell high quality U.S.D OF AG INSPECTED plants and know their business when it comes to shipping them.

great job Brushwood Nursery.

sincerely your Happy customer scott bowlan sunapee,n.h.

I recently purchased a red trumpet vine from Brushwood. This is a wonderful nursery. This was my first purchase from them. The plant was shipped very quickly and when I had requested it. It arrived Priority Mail. The plant is extremely healthy and a nice large size about 14 inches tall. They charge only $10 shipping for either one or 100 plants. The plant was carefully packed. They let me know when it was shipped via email. I am very happy.

I do NOT have the green thumb in the family. I've wanted roses for a long time, but can never get bare roots to grow. I ordered from Brushwood as a last ditch effort before conceding that roses aren't for me, really.
My order arrived as scheduled, two happy-looking, 12" plants. I planted the Zephirine Drouhin Roses in a part sun spot in my yard in early June, and they are doing great!!! Two months later they are over 3 feet tall and have tons of new growth.
Customer service at Brushwood was prompt and helpful in that someone answered a question I had about planting them very quickly by email.
If these rose vines continue to be this happy, I might finally have to learn how to prune! :-)

I ordered three climbing roses and they arrived so perfectly packaged that there was not as much as a bent leaf. The plants are very healthy and a good size for the price. Overall an excellent mail order experience. I like being able to be notified when an out of stock item is available again. I will order from this company again.

Healthy mid-sized plants (mostly clematis) that have grown well for me, blooming in their second year. Excellent selection, excellent packaging and an astonishingly low shipping cost. When the shipping, quantity discount, and a coupon were added, these robust plants were cost comparable with much smaller plants from other suppliers, but far better plants. I have ordered from Brushwood twice and will not hesitate to order from them again.

This was my first order with Brushwood and my four chosen clematis are very healthy, growing and looking great. My plants were very well packaged and shipped in a timely manner. There are other vines that I wanted but were not in stock at the time I placed my order. So I will be ordering from them in the future. I am a very happy and satisfied customer.

I ordered 3 clematis, 2 wisteria (one on sale!) and 1 honeysuckle vine. All arrived in great condition, well packed and a good size for the price charged. Local nurseries charge about double for a similar size plant. They had good communication as well, notifiying me of shipment. When I sent them a confirmation that my order arrived and in good condition, Dan responded promptly. A great operation.

A few weeks ago I ordered four clematis from Dan at Brushwood Nursery and they arrived yesterday as per my wishes. I could not be more thrilled! One is at least a foot tall and very bushy and the others are also very large, about 10". Dan was excellent with communication since I had added a note that we'd be on vacation for a week so he scheduled the delivery at a time that was good for me.

I am thoroughly delighted with this company!

Today, 3/31/11, I received my latest order of clematises from Brushwood and I'm very pleased with the plants, the excellent packing, the superb communication with Dan.

I refuse to play the juvenile games others play by comparing what they got from other companies. It isn't fair to anyone.

Dan is honest, reliable and trustworthy. He will always have my business.

I received my first order from Brushwood a few weeks ago. I picked the option of Brushwood determining the mailing date. I received the plants within a week. The plants were packed nicely and arrived very healthy. I appreciate the detailed information on their website which helped me pick out the best plants for my garden and provided planting instructions.

I received my first order for clematis from Brushwood. They were very well packed, some with buds, and shipping was very fair for my order of 5 clematis. That said, I did receive much smaller clematis than I have gotten from SSV but her shipping is more. So I guess we will see how well these plants do and I will have more of a comparison - I also hope their warmer climate in GA won't impact how they act for me in VA.
