Reviews of J Parkers
E. B.
Plants always good quality and well packed so no damage to delicate roots. Clear instructions for planting and aftercare and flowers give a good show. Used Parker’s for several years now and very satisfied with service and results.
E. M.
After been to Tatton Park and having such helpful experience. Iam going to be doing my garden shopping with you. I was so happy to have got a email from. Edward saying thay will be sponsoring me and the children hoping with The garden at Holy trinity church in Barnoldswick..I've been moving my garden about. So ill show a photo of now and then later. It's a small garden. By for now. My first order will be tomorrow. Ellen Martin Barnoldswick.
l. m.
I bought 20 pyracantha to create various hedges around our garden from J Parkers and got some free mixed cactus dahlias. They arrived strong and healthy and have already doubled in size and have buds developing ready to flower. Great company to deal with and dispatch was faster than quoted. My only gripe was Evri/Hermes; (I haven't marked J parkers down in stars as I'm not reviewing the delivery company!) my plants sat in the delivery warehouse for an extra two days longer than needed as they were apparently unable to be delivered by the usual local courier. The sizes and weights were clearly stated by J Parkers so it was not their fault and low and behold they turned up with the local courier anyway. Disappointed with Evri/Hermes service but fantastic plants, price and service from J Parkers! Thank you.
A. S.
Plants arrived safely, even though the box that they were in was somewhat battered! Hermes tracking, as usual, is a bit random to say the least. Luckily I was in when it arrived (Was about to go out). Delivery could have been better, why don't you use the likes of DPD where they give a one hour time slot for delivery? (I don't work for them). One of the pots was squashed when I opened the box, but no damage to the plant I think.
I've been generous and given 4 stars, maybe 3 and a1/2 would be closer to the mark.
J. A.
My plants arrived on time. The packaging was the most protective I have seen which ensured my plants arrived in pristine condition. I am bringing them on in the greenhouse and am very pleased with them. I have used many other companies over the years I can honestly say this has been my best buying experience.
L. D.
Great value, ordering was easy. Clear details on expected delivery time. Updated with email when being shipped and a delivery slot by courier. Plants came as explained with clear instructions on planting. We'll packaged- very happy. Look forward to seeing them pop up in Spring and summer.
K. T.
Plants all in good condition and well packaged. Parkers were also able to delay shipping my order until I returned from a trip. It shipped 2 days after my return - great service. I have used Parkers many times and will continue to do so.
A. B.
My recent delivery of strawberry plants arrived in excellent condition and they are rooting and shooting well. I was a little disappointed with my first delivery of pansy and wallflower plugs. They were sent on one of the hottest days of the year and were sweating in their packaging. I feel the dispatch should have been delayed for a cooler spell. I have horticultural experience but even I lost 6 plants. The others now look wonderful. I noticed that for the dispatch of the strawberry plants I was sent an email warning that dispatch had been delayed due to the mild weather. I'm presuming that other customers had had a similar experience with earlier plants due to the dispatch not having been delayed. Overall I am satisfied with deliveries from J Parkers
C. G.
Order unfortunately did not arrive within the 28 days stated on the confirmation. Customers services were quite helpful and reasonably quick to respond with an update. Only issue I had was with the Galanthus bulbs being a bit on the dry side. Planted them anyway but not overly confident they will emerge as snowdrops in the spring. Parker’s are good value and came recommended by friends in the landscape architecture business and I will use them again and hope for a better experience!
J. F.
Took a little longer to acknowledge my order via e-mail but I realise dealing with garden orders is a time of year for my order of shrubs. Once acknowledged the process was excellent. Condition of shrubs was very pleasing along with the secure packaging. Would recommend Parker's along with a little patience.
I. B.
Excellent quality products and service. I have bought my plants from this company for many years and will continue to do so in future. I can definitely recommend them.
B. G.
Speedy delivery albeit to the wrong house! I got their parcel, they got mine! Bulbs were very good condition, all planted in pots. I hope for a lovely show in the Spring. Would shop with you again. Really good service.
R. Y.
I am usually very pleased with the service from J Parkers. This time the delivery took a little longer than expected at over a month. Everything was well packed and all the bulbs and the Philadelphus were all excellent. The delphiniums were very small and sick looking, but I have potted them on and have my fingers crossed they survive and grow away in Spring!
C. O.
The plants were well packed and arrived in good condition. It was a mix of 30 perennials and the selection by Parkers was good. I would have awarded 5 stars except for delivery being later than expected.
S. B.
I have bought from Parkers many times and have found their website really easy and straight forward to use. They keep me informed on my deliveries, especially when I have pre ordered. The plants always arrive in good condition too. I have no complaints.
M. W.
Always get good bulbs from Parkers. I was particularly pleased with the giant Amaryllis bulb. I bought a bulb in a box locally last year and it was terrible! No bigger than a daffodil bulb and of course no flowers , so was a bit nervous buying an unseen one but it was a lovely big and heavy bulb that I am confident will bear one or two flower spikes!
P. S.
This years delivery of hanging baskets have been a disaster to be honest. 10 hanging baskets either delivered dead and smashed to pieces in transit or just not delivered and instead returned to sender before they arrived with me because they were damaged in transit. I’ve had refunds no issues there from j Parker however after ordering 2 - 3 months in advance to make sure I end up with a house looking beautiful with hanging baskets Ive ended up with 10 hanging baskets missing as they’ve now stopped selling them so no replacements are available. Very disappointing service this year from j Parker. Will try elsewhere next year
M. H.
Every item I ordered arrived, every bulb now planted. Bulbs were all a good size and I look forward to the spring to see them all in bloom. Only problem was that the printing on each bag was very much on the small side and at 86 years of age I found it difficult to read although I have excellent glasses.
P. R.
In the past I have always given 5 stars, but on this occasion the plants were not packed very well and damage was caused however next year that should be rectified with new growth. This will not stop me from buying future plants from Parkers as they are normally of high quality.
M. A.
After considerable success with J Parkers over many years, this year's orders have been disappointing. Our first Begonia corms were superb, but the latest batch were extremely poor. Your refund/replacement service is excellent. Results have ranged from excellent to poor.
K. G.
I ordered 4 dwarf lavenders last year, very pleased with them. I have now transferred them into a bed in the garden and they are very happy. Pleased with my recent order too.
J. A.
Absolutely delighted with the plants from this company, despite the hottest of days and cutting back on watering, they sre still giving great colour.
Will definitely be buying again.
The courier used to deliver was appaling the boxes were obviously thrown around and were damaged with very little compost remaining. Soon sorted when I contacted their customer service though.
J. G.
The lead time was long = the company said September - but it arrived in August after about 7 weeks in good shape and I'm looking forward to nurturing the Californian Lilac shrub over the winter to plant out in spring. Good value and better service than was promised at point of sale.
E. S.
The package was complete which I was pleased about, half expected to have an item missing. What I am disappointed with is that every bag of bulbs have at least one if not two bulbs which are under size and in poor condition. Looks like they have a form of mildew or something on them. I have planted some of them and I'm hoping they will be ok. Time will tell I suppose.
J. B.
I’ve been using J Parkers for some years now and my experience is very good. Yes, occasionally a plant hasn’t taken but some plants don’t. I buy all my hanging basket plugs and grow them on, see photo. I love the perennial packs, they are really good value and have transformed my garden. The 2nd photo was from a 12 perennial pack last year I bought for £6.99. I find the communication very good. I always get an email on despatch and on the odd occasion there has been a delay or a problem, it is always resolved quickly. I think there is a lot of choice and very good prices. Additionally, they were one of the few online garden retailers that didn’t take money and then couldn’t supply the order during lockdown, as some did. They were honest and stopped taking orders if they couldn’t fulfil them. I have an order coming soon and I shall continue to use them.
K. C.
Excellent! My blueberry plants arrives safely and happy, well packed and protected. Complete with good instructions on care and potting on. Highly recommend.
G. L.
I always order flowers, tree bulbs and shrubs from this company. I've always been very pleased. This year, due to my inattention (I gave the wrong address), the package did not reach me. When I reported it (still unaware of my mistake), I met with a very understanding service. A second package was sent to me very quickly, to the right address. Thanks a lot for that.
GREATE SERVICE ALWAYS!
R. F.
Reliable and informative, Parker’s offer remarkable value for money. I do find their updates on rolls of paper somewhat irritating. Overall, a good company for gardening supplies and assistance, seeming to ‘be just around the corner’. Pleasant to deal with. R.F.
A. B.
Have never had any problems with my orders from Parkers over the years.
All plants and bulbs have been good quality.
Very good value too.
c. e.
Good place to get your plants from. Unfortunately, 2 of my spreading plants were virtually dead or dying when I received them. I potted them straight away but both died. The rest of the plants were fine. It's just one of those things. I would still buy from J.Parkers nonetheless.
L. H.
I always buy & pre order my bulbs from J Parkers. Excellent choice & good special offers. I always end up buying more than i wanted !! Orders are packed well & i have never had any issues with the quality of bulbs.
F. L.
Well packaged delivery, but some of the plants were not in top condition and also smaller than I expected comparing to similar shrubs bought elsewhere. Prompt customer service helping to sort out a replacement of a bad quality shrub, overall good experience.
M. B.
Good communication from seller. Kept informed of delivery all the way. Quality of goods received is yet to be seen as we will only know next year when they grow.
G. M.
Had a problem my bulbs, they were so full of life that they flowered in the post! Told Parkers and they immediatley dispatched another set. All arrived perfect im very happy with the replacement. Always shopped here and always will. Great stuff at amazing prices, keep checking the special offers as they change a lot so dont miss out on a bargain
P. R.
They arrived as you described...a little thirsty, so watered them, then re-potted into larger containers. They look very happy now in the front garden for all to see. Love the colours already.
B. G.
Fine! Bulbs delivered within window. They had all sprouted but this was an n end of season offer! They flowered and will look much better next year.
P. D.
Plants and bulbs good quality, but you are a little let down by your courier. All the deliveries were left at front door in full view of the road where anyone could pinch the parcel. Driver on both occasions didn't even wait to see if I was home (1st time I wasn't and box was soaking wet when I got home next day.) Gave feedback to courier as requested but made no difference to next deliveries.
E. M.
Bulbs ordered all arrived in good condition though cyclamen were very late (mid November). Never did get a main catalogue this year...Hope you will remember to send in 2023.
D. B.
Have ordered through J.Parkers for 20 years now,a book came in the post for our previous owner and we gave them a try since!
Always had good plants and if had any delivery problems they always sorted replacements.
A. Y.
Excellent choice of plants. Always arrive and look good. On the odd occasion that once a plant failed to thrive the customer service department were great.
S. J.
My friend was overjoyed with her rose Thank you. She planted some of her late husbands ashes with it & is thrilled that she will be able to look at the bush from her kitchen window & cut one or two Rose's to out by his photo. Thank you so much
N. W.
The plants arrived tightly packed. Put straight into water and planted over 3 days in prepared ground.
Watering on first day then plenty of rain and they are all showing signs of growth already.
S. R.
I am very pleased with J Parkers, communication was excellent and kept me informed of delivery dates and all the plants were very well established and in great condition when delivered (it rained in buckets got soaked planting them) highly recommended to all my friends.
G. W.
I have seen some negative reviews on here; I can only give an exceptionally good one! I contacted customer services as my baskets hadn’t arrived, the lady couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s Evri the couriers who let them down. Shocking service from Evri as usual, but the baskets did arrive a few days later. It’s not the sellers fault, baskets were bone dry and not particularly good condition having been bounced around, but the looks of it. Parker’s responded swiftly, no qualms or hassle, and resolved immediately. I have absolutely no hesitation about buying from them next year, top company! Thank you.
J.
Always very good quality plants, trees and bulbs. Also excellent customer service! Will be shopping at J Parkers again, would definitely recommend them.
A. M.
My bulbs arrived satisfactorily although they had been nearly a week in the post, I would just like to say I was disappointed that there
was no info whatsoever with these Lily bulbs, on depth for planting etc, it would have been useful,& good customer service if that had been included..
L. D.
Tulip bulbs arrived very quickly and in good condition. Looking forward to planting them and the Garden Ready Sugar Rush Wallflowers when they arrive!
T. P.
I'm disappointed just because the plant is very small(size of a garden weed plant we see on any garden and looks like any general garden weed plant) the plant doesn't have much to look at it, it's a baby plant. I thought plant would be bigger, much bigger. So what I think at this point is that when I payed for the my plant through the website its when they planted the seeds....no wonder they sent me email saying I would receive the plant at the end of October or beginning of November and that's why plant came this tiny.
R. E.
Most of the items took a lot longer to arrive than initially stated so mildly disappointed. Don't know whether the Tamarix tree is healthy or not as it was bereft of any leaves as it only arrived at the beginning of November having been ordered in August.
K. A.
Plants came in excellent condition but I was told my replacement white Acer would be coming with these. I'm ok with that if the season is incorrect for shipping it ..was just expecting it!
S. M.
All òrders apart from 2 in the last batch were perfect.
I would still place orders with this company the items were well packaged and I was kept informed of delivery at all times.
D. A.
Your service was excellent keeping me informed of the delay and when it was being processed and collected, the only issue I had was the delivery company used by yourself
. I was given three time slots taking up six hours ok my time over Tuesday and Wednesday before the delivery was eventually made on Thursday
j. s.
Ordered 2 Beth pear trees and both looked good quality. We were kept informed about delivery regularly
D. L.
thanks, delivery as promised - they look OK, but we shan't know about yield from gooseberry plants until next year. hope for a good harvest.
H. M.
Very quick service and lovely big plants which I managed to get into some big pots just before the big freeze started and put them in a friends poly tunnel.
Looking forward to planting them out in the early spring .

The cold frame arrived very quickly and was easy to construct. We are hoping it will provide a safe haven for our plants over the cold winter months.
T. C.
Excellent value for money. I have had far more successful potting these up in the conservatory, putting them straight in the garden has been hit and miss with bare rooted plants.
The last item I bought, 15 mixed Astilbes yielded 21 plants, and some really large roots which was great.
P. D.
Always confident with ordering plants from J Parkers came in good condition and was informed that delivery will take up to 5 days .
G. B.
Used Parkers for several years. Good service and great products. Highly recommend . Had great displays with bulbs plants etc.
D. D.
I have used several online companies to buy my bulbs and plants for every season of the year. However I keep returning to J Parkers because they have the range and the quality I look for. The service that accompanies the orders is first rate and I am aware of the expected delivery period. Packaging is generally good to ensure safe arrival. The website is extensive with details for the planting and care of each item. Overall, it is a good and reliable company to deal with
J. C.
Easy to order with pleasant and helpful staff. Well packed and instructions included. Swift delivery. Good quality bulbs.
E. R.
Excellent delivery on time, and packaged well, would recommend this company, customer service good as well, part order received, called them and immediately knew there was another parcel from different depot .
K. L.
Our plants arrived in perfect condition, the packaging was exceptional, updates up until the day they arrived. Kx
P. G.
I have used J. Parkers for many years for my bulbs and plants. As a former Horticultural Officer for Barnsley I know that bulb size and condition is important when choosing bulbs for public displays. I have used this as my criteria for my own garden and can say that I have never been disappointed with plants or bulbs from J. Parker. I have no qualms in recommending them to others.
G. C.
Lovely healthy plants with plenty of strong roots and e cement value for money plus the e mails kept me well informed on the progress if the order. Thank you
R. H.
What was there not to like !! An easy to navigate website, comprehensive communication regarding the dispatch and delivery of the plants I had ordered and lastly great little plants when they arrived !!!
P. L.
Ordered for my daughter in law she was very pleased the Peonies were in excellent condition. Would recommend as service from ordering to receiving excellent.
N. N.
I ordered 60 garden ready polyanthus plug plants. I am extremely pleased with what I received. The plants arrived by a tracking system which was very helpful. I was able to know exactly when they would be delivered.
They arrived in excellent condition, bright and fresh and well watered. After planting out they’ve gone from strength to strength and I can’t wait to see them bloom. I would definitely recommend this service.
I would like to add, last year I ordered a selection of purple/white/mauve winter pansy garden ready plugs. My tubs were overflowing with blooms from March until June. Thank you.
j. w.
Bulbs arrived very well packed as are all the plants 🌱 etc that I have ordered in the past .well done Parker’s packers . Thank you 😊
P. B.
Bulbs were excellent but in some cases the bags were difficult to read and had to revert back to catalogue to get heights. Be 5 stars if bags could have flowering height included.
B.
Their ordering service is much more efficient and organised than it used to be. No problems at all and the bulbs look good quality
I. F.
Brilliant service, plants arrived as promised and all looked in good condition. All been planted and hopefully my garden will be a riot of colour next year
M. O.
All my plants have arrived in perfect condition, all were well packaged too .
r. g.
Delivery was originally expected early September but as I was to be away for the second week, I telephoned in August and arranged for delivery to be after 16/9/22. Instead, the plants arrived at the original time. I had just 24 hours before my departure to get them into the ground. Not impressed.
C. D.
Plants arrived very quickly, well packaged and with growing instructions. Very happy with reasonable cost too
A. B.
Earlier in the year I ordered some items off yourselves and also used another competitor, may I say your attitude to your customers is really a pleasure to be part of. My order was completed with plants that were healthy and true to your description, they thrived upon planting and in these uncertain times we would like to applaud your Company and say an extra large Thankyou for making our Summer in lockdown more bearable. We will definitely be placing future orders with you next year. Thankyou
M. G.
Wonderful quality bulbs at a great price and some unusual ones I struggled to get anywhere else. Arrived in good time well packagef
M. B.
Excellent value, high quality plants and bulbs as always.
All items are well packed and a quality courier is used (they handle carefully and keep the correct way up).
I have received notification of delivery which is most useful when buying young plants.
Recommendations given to friends and family.
Ordered some "sale" garden ready "Primula Primlet" plants Saturday 9 Nov, arrived on Friday 15 Nov. Take a look at the QUALITY (see photographs) - these are Superb.
Just one problem, with all the rain the Garden is definitely NOT ready as it is saturated!
D.
Items arrived again well packed and in good condition, now potted up and preparing for the coming spring. Hoping they do well.
W. C.
I ordered bulbs in advance of the season for planting but with climate change affecting all gardens, I was grateful for the updates alerting me to delays. Thank you.
G. A.
Good communications. Plant still in hibernation but came well packed and with a good root system on it so fingers crossed!!
S. P.
Lovely plants in good condition. Will use Parker’s again. Quick delivery
J. W.
First time ordering from this company. Great range of bulbs, arrived quickly, well labelled with instructions.
K. C.
Always get good service from Parkers. The plants come packed well and in good condition with instructions on how to plant.
g. a.
Very happy with plants, arrived before cold weather comes. Can't wait till next year to see them grow up and flower
A. F.
Ordered 3 climbing roses and they arrived on time. Can't wait for them to start growing.
R. P.
Always good doing business with J Parkers. The goods arrive in good order, there are nearly always some special offers and good prices.
D. S.
My order was placed and the goods delivered. I was informed that my order had been dispatched and to expect delivery within two or three days. The goods arrived within the timescale stated and on arrival I inspected them. The bulbs, tubers and rhizomes appear to be high quality. Because it is too early to plant them up I can’t comment on the quality of the final plants but am confident they will be high quality. Time will tell. I have no hesitation in ordering from Parker’s again.
L. J.
I love the choice. There are some amazing plants on offer and the instructions are very helpful. The price is incredibly good. Unfortunately not everything has grown (but that's the chance you take with any plant). If you email a query, the response is very quick. My only downside is not getting everything I ordered and having to chase. It means some things will be planted much later than I was hoping to.
I passed the catalogue around work and a few people have signed up to receive their own. It's even inspired non-gardeners ☺️
E. P.
I paid £18.99 plus delivery for what I was expecting to be a 1 to 2 foot small tree, but instead got two sticks in a pot about 6 inches tall with no sign of life. Will wait to see if they show any life next year, but am very disappointed as it will take an awful long time to have any impact in my garden if it even grows
D. C.
Very happy with the bulbs I ordered. Very easy to order and items came well packed and very quick.
R. J.
lovely heathy bulbs
my only small criticism is the LABELLING on the bulbs could be clearer.
delivery ecellent on time and notified
W. M.
Plants arrived quickly, very well packed and were a good size and healthy. The snowdrops grew away immediately and look lovely. The foxgloves and grasses are still dormant, but look strong. J.Parkers prices are reasonable, service is good and I will buy again
L. S.
Good healthy plants arrived in time to plant before frost so hopefully lovely flowers next year.
G.
Due to nature of the goods they were delayed … outside the control of J Parker’s. However they kept me regularly updated with the order
C. H.
Didn't quite get the order right, got Helenium (Ruby Tuesday) instead of Helenium (Lolly Pop). Other than that happy enough until the start to grow.
S. B.
The clematis I ordered was of a good quality . The blackberry was a bit weedy but was cheap and will need a bit of time to perk up. The dwarf apple tree was very well packed but a couple of the small side branches were broken. It has been planted and non broken branches are growing . I have ordered many plants from here in the past and they have been good quality and very well packed. This was probably a glitch.
R. A.
First class as usual. Now all planted and I hope I have got them o spring has hope and colour next year
k. d. k.
The parcel was mislaid by Evri and having contacted Parkers they immediately agreed to send out placements. It was impossible to contact Evri.
W. R.
Mostly good in the end, but loose rooted plants arrived really very dried up. Most of them have now cracked on, but one or two have done nothing. Cheap, but you get what you pay for I guess.
C. C.
I ordered some assorted pompom dahlia tubers from this company. When they arrived the were well packaged and each tuber was in a cellophane bag which was labelled with the type of dahlia. The tubers were excellent, large and plump, some had tiny shoots. I soaked them overnight in a bucket of water as advised before planting the next day. All tubers have now started sprouting. I'm looking forward to my display of dahlias. I will definitely use this company again, site, service, and delivery all excellent. Thank you J. Parkers.
E. D. D. C.
I've ordered from them a few times now over the past year, including fruit trees, soft fruit and plants. Always good quality plants and been packed well. Arrived quickly too. Will use again.
J. W.
Have used J Parker’s a few times now and always been very pleased with my plants which are thriving beautifully! Excellent quality and arrive well packaged and on time or earlier than EDD 👌🏼Competitive prices too. Won’t hesitate to use again and have recommended to friends
S. B.
The bare root rose plants arrived ahead of expected delivery date and in excellent condition.
They are all now planted and four plants have new shoots on them, I was not expecting much for this summer but am very happy.
I look forward to seeing lots of blooms in next couple years as they become more established
J. M. L.
Great experience , thank you and we look forward to spring/summer to see our new bulbs blooming 🌷🌷
C. Y.
Have ordered bulbs and beddings for a few years now. I generally have no problems with bulbs but beddings have been poor for the last couple of years. I generally order garden ready plants but ones that have arrived are literally no bigger than plugs and after rolling round in a box during dispatch were no more than a box of soil and leaves mixed up together. Don't get me wrong every effort has been made to package them well but the last ones I received were they could move about which caused a lot of damage. On ringing Parker's they were eager to rectify the problem offering a replacement or refund. Ended up getting refund and buying locally.
L. B.
I was kept up to date as to when the order would be delivered. It was well packaged and in good condition. Thank you.
C. B.
Takes order, but fails to supply. Supplies some out of season old stock as a freebie instead, and refuses to refund your expensive carriage as they have 'supplied you'.
They are charging you to get rid of their unsaleable waste.
Never accept the freebie!
In all fairness, they have refunded the postage. But it is frustrating that you have to chase for it, and 6 weeks later I now have to go shopping again for the plant I want.
L. M.
My first order of 3 dogwoods and 5 Aubretia were delivered on the second attempt having been lost the first time. The action taken by J Parkers was excellent and re-despatched immediately. However, only two dogwoods have survived as one was in dire straits on arrival.
My second order of ornamental grasses has progressed without problems and all three appear to be doing well.
p. h.
Purchased a blue Platycodon 12cm on e Bay. It arrived quickly in environmentally friendly packaging, cardboard and paper. And it was a jolly robust plant. Plenty of leaf and buds. It was fresh and un crumpled. Would buy again from these guys.
P. L.
I have been a customer for a few years now, and have recommended my family and friends to buy as well. But last year and this I have found the quality of the plants and the way they have been packaged in the box to be very disappointing. They have arrived not looking very healthy as in previous orders. Also the cartons/boxes arrive with either dents in the side or crushed. But the ordering process is excellent and you are kept up to date with delivery etc.
J. P.
Strawberry plants. All arrived on time, good quality and all flourished. Delighted.
S. H.
Really good plants, quickly delivered and best of all .....they grow.
N. W.
Ordered a selection of plants and they were delivered promptly. Very happy with how they were packaged. They are all doing very nicely.

I ordered 2 Clematis “Marjorie “ plants as my Sister hadn’t been able to find them anywhere. They came so quickly + well packaged- informed along the way re delivery etc. Very pleased with service + will use again 😀 Photo is Clematis Marjorie that is about 10 yrs old so obviously plant supplied was smaller
e. g.
Plants arrived earlier than expected, but were in very good condition, we are more than satisfied, they will be taking pride of place in my border. Thank You Parkers.
M. R.
My order for daffodil bulbs was delivered earlier than expected and the bulbs appeared to be in good condition.
T. W.
I ordered 3 items;
1 x jasimine clotted cream - this was very nice and is doing well, looking forward to seeing it flower in the summer.
2 x packs of lilly of the valley bulbs - these are growing well although not in flower yet.
1 x pack of geraniums - these haven't done very well at all. A lot of the bare roorts were shrivellled up and broken on arrival. Despite planting up straight away, only about 50% have come to anything and of these only about a third have produced decent plants. Bit disappointed with these.
3 stars on the basis of the jasmine and lilly of valley being goods, would have given these 4/5 stars and tyhe geranium very poor, would have given this one star.
D. S.
I ordered a number of plants which arrived safely, well packed and quickly. The plants were healthy and have been doing well in the garden.
J. K.
I ordered rhubarb on line simple to do and my plants arrived in time and in good order thankyou j parkers
C. M.
Tulips bulbs I had last year gave me lovely and great display this spring and was so happy with them that I have ordered same again this year.
T. P.
Always a great service. Good communication regarding the despatch of my order and delivery time. My order arrived well packaged and everything looked healthy.
S. M.
Great delivery, plants were in good condition, and the free Dianthus plugs were a nice surprise, but greatly appreciated in a new garden.
N. B.
All good so far plants look good quality packaged well and delivered on time
M. P.
Thank you Parkers for replacing my lilac shrub. Straight forward honest to goodness customer service.
J. L.
Delivered on time bulbs look healthy but only just planted so bit early to tell how good blooms will be
A. W.
I have used J Parkers for several years now and I have always been impressed with the quality of the plants sent to me. They are very well packaged much more so than other companies (e.g. Suttons).. I will continue to use J Parkers in the future.
C. D.
Plants and bulbs were very good and packed well. Though did take 5 weeks to arrive.
R. A.
Great selection of bulbs and good value for money Excellent communication on the progress of the order which was delivered within the time frame promised. Thanks very much!!
S. w.
Always excellent service, good plants and delivered on dates promised, well protected in packaging too.
R. S.
First rate on ordering and quality. Delivery time could have been better.
T. R.
I was very happy with my order. Lovely, healthy plants, delivered with care and efficiency.
K. L.
Found Bulbs to be of excellent size and quality. Only fault was mine for failing to notify order was over £40.00
A. C.
Plants arrived on time and well packaged. Some of them looked a bit sad, but now I've planted them out perhaps they'll perk up!
R. W.
My order arrived within the specified timescale, and was in good condition, ready for planting.
C. P.
All bulbs were of high quality.
However trailing aubretia were poor on arrival so hope they survive
G. M.
All my plants and bulbs arrived safely. As they were supplied in their dormant state I cannot comment on their quality until spring/summer hence the four stars. However the service up to now was good and reliable.
r. w.
Plants in good condition and rapidly responded with repotting and watering.Would definitely recommend and will buy more plants in the future.
S. W.
I've had a few dodgy plants in the past so have been reluctant to keep ordering but thought it would be worth a gamble as the prices are always so much better than the competitors. I'm pleased I did as the plants were excellent, well packaged and arrived reasonably quickly. I hope they've learned from the negative comments myself and others have posted and I will continue to buy from them in the future.
T. F.
I received the bulbs promptly- which was excellent, since I ordered late. There were a good number and I have planted them all out. Bulbs looked fine but not flowering so hard to determine. Very satsfied thus far.
S. D.
Nice healthy plant and seed potatoes. Took a few weeks to receive items but was early season. Wasn't able to track as at the time as online system was being upgraded. I email and received a helpful response. Arrived well packed and I was notified with delivery details.
C. M.
I have been buying from Parkers for years' Roses and bulbs mainly.
Excellent service. Easy to order. Good bulbs with instructions on depth of planting. Bargain prices in the sale and looking forward to seeing the results in the spring.
m. a.
Item dispatched promptly and well packaged. Very pleased with everything I have received.
J. C.
Well wrapped and healthy bare root Tamarisk. Will look lovely when it develops into a plant, come Spring.
m. s.
We were absolutely delighted with our order of trailing Begonias, they were very well packaged & protected and a very good size.
We also ordered Alstromeria bulbs which are now shooting and looking very healthy.
After having disappointment last year from another gardening site when most arrived damaged, we were thrilled to receive J T Parker’s looking so good.
We use your garden centre so we did have faith in your bulbs etc. Thank you for the care taken in posting out.
R. W.
A huge range of quality bulbs and usually I have been sent what I needed. In my last order some of the items were unavailable and the price was more than in the catalogue. Whether this was due to supply issues or the fact my order was fairly late in the season I’m not sure. However, they did send a number of free bulbs so I am happy!
A. P.
I ordered perennial plants for Spring planting. Really they arrived too early....early February.
However I potted them and kept indoors and they seem doing OK.
Packaging Labelling and Delivery were all fine.
Until they flower in the Summer I can't speak about colour collection.

EXCELLENT QUALITY
Have bought hyacinth bulbs, winter flowering pansies and violas as plug plants so far. The bulbs were all excellent quality and are doing well underground (I discovered due to a fox trying to bury its food above them!). The plug plants arrived with lovely roots but in separate deliveries, the latest delivery looked a bit pitiful, some plants knocked out of cells, a bit
dry and yellowing but felt that was due to a rough delivery. However, as per the instructions they perked up nicely within 48 hours. Would definitely order from J Parkers again and recommend them.
J. G.
Telephone order processed efficiently, professionally and courteously.
Delivered promptly, and efficiently 7days later. Better than expected.
One big, very heavy (80 kgs ) box, well packed, no damage, and all items present and correct.
This looks to be a high quality product, and we are looking forward to assembly, and installation, when weather is better.
J. P.
Ordered 18 rose bushes. Arrived within 2 weeks. They were all individually wrapped and also well packed. Each rose bush was about 18" tall. After nearly a month in the garden they have all showing signs of growth.
D. P.
I've been dealing with Parkers for a number of years. I have always had a very pleasant purchasing experience with them. My latest order was delivered on time and was of excellent quality - very pleased to give them five stars.
J. M.
Parkers are a very good company to deal with everything is excellent quality and arrives on time ,coupled with good prices what more do you want
G. M.
1 rose from 12 not so good on last order replaced with out question first class service
B. A.
Love the plants I've received so far from J Parkers, always been healthy plants.
V. G.
I received some maxiplugs of regal geraniums which were very good. However I received some fuschia cuttings in transit for 2 weeks which were almost dead. I got replacements that are fine.
The big problem is that J Parker use Evri (formerly Hermes) which as I live 3 miles outside Reading the courier will not deliver, although I am not told that, just my experience from 3 orders. The only way I can get the plants is by diverting them to a parcelshop and hoping.
S. D.
The plants I purchased arrived on time and in good condition. They are growing on nicely. Very impressed. I have used Parker’s quite a bit this year and will do so again. Good value, good quality , good result . Very pleased.
m. c.
I recieved 3 florabunda roses 1 has taken leaves sprouting and is amazingly healthy.
Sadly 2 have not done anything they were all treated and planted same so I am perplexed keep checking them daily to no avail or improvement on the two that sadly aren't progressing

Great service, not sure how plants will do over winter, but fingers crossed.
A. P.
Great product and service. Very healthy plants
J. D.
The flowers arrived in very good condition, obviously well tended. Very quick delivery 🚚
Just wanted to say that this is a totally unsolicited and independent review. I speak as I find!!
R. S.
The well packed plug plants received were in excellent condition and are now really healthy plants ready for planting out.
The bulbs ordered were received all in individual packaging and well labelled
Ready for planting.
Cannot fault the service J Parker provided. Good value. Healthy plants. They deserve the five stars awarded.
L.
Good plants. Agapanthus arrived in good condition and with good root system.
D. L.
Brilliant service top quality plants will definitely be ordering again
R. L.
I have received another excellent selection of plants from J Parker’s.
B. S.
Easy to follow ordering process supported by great product details. Order received was of good quality and plants are flourishing. Thankyou
D. T.
bulbs and plants arrived in excellent condition and size,this ia a vast improvement on a fewears ago,
S. A.
Ordered Snowdrops in the green and they have proved to be superb. The two Acers, no more than twigs have already sprouted and promise to be successful. Can't say how the lily of the valley will be as it's too early. Here's hoping. Very happy with the free gift of the Dahlia's and the anticipation as to which colours they turn out to be.
J. O.
Another excellent service, good size bulbs and delivered well packaged and within stated times scales
N.
Good selection, stock and great prices. I ordered oriential lillies and a selection of dinnerplate dahlias, so we shall see how these perform when they are planted. The package arrived safely, items are plainly packaged with basic instructions. So not bad if you know what you are doing however additional research may be needed for the new gardener. Fingers crossed for a successful season!
N. G.
Thanks all bulbs plants arrived safely in good condition thanks Neil
E. W.
Very helpful over joining up two separate orders to one delivery.
Phone usually answered promptly
C. A.
I have purchased bulbs and a few plants in different orders through all summer because have been planning my front garden since then and every time realised needed to buy something else.
All the orders have been dispatched carefully, the bulbs have come in perfect conditions and even I'm not fan of buying grown plants online, have not complain about the conditions they have arrived(specially happy with two evergreen baskets that look beautiful hanging in the front of my house).
I have purchased before from another company and definitively will stick to JParkers for future purchases.
I can't wait to see my garden blooming in spring to give them another 5 stars and share some pictures.
G. H.
Arrived all right, have planted them and await some growth to appear
M. K.
I bought some plants from them in March and April and they have thrived (I ordered buddleias and some bedding plants). Very good quality, good health and very good customer service. I highly recommend them and would definitely be purchasing plants from them again. I had an issue with one item in my order and they were very quick to rectify the issue.
k. m.
Very friendly when I needed help on the telephone. Kept me informed of the goods journey and delivered on time..Thankyou xx
L. V. E.
great quality of bulbs. looking forward to spring. great service - thank you
A. B.
Gautheria ordered 19 Nov 21 and delivered 24 Nov 21. Great quality plants, reasonably priced and speedy delivery.
Please sort out the website - still having problems resetting password following change in website as I cannot order online
Many thanks
A. G.
Have received the border collection thanks. Have now planted them yesterday. With the cactus dahlias you sent me, I have put them in pots about 10 days ago no shoots to speak of yet. Not really green fingered as I am just starting out. So bit of a novice at the moment 🤔 🙂
The latest delivery of plants w
hich were delivered I planted the same day
Only 6 of the 2 dozen you sent are still alive the rest have died, would like to know what is going on as nobody replying too these posts.
M. G.
Just absolutely stunning. The very best flowers hands down. Amazing customer service I can't thank them enough for everything!
M. M.
Good quality bulbs, easy to order and delivered on the date promised.
S. B.
Good range of plants, great prices and fast delivery.
d. s.
I had a few orders now from you and plants shrubs all doing well
n. a. s.
The bulbs has sprouted by the time they arrived .Not sure who is at fault ,vendor or courier.
W. J.
Plants in the ground, appear to be doing well. I would definitely buy from them again.
M. B.
I've bought many plants over the years from many different companies, some successful some the complete opposite. I started using J Parkers, and all my plants have been successful, they all arrive healthy and well packaged. The customer care you receive from them is first class, nothing is too much trouble, they are always friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this company.
I've tried the rest, now I will only use the best.
J. L.
Healthy plants arrived well packaged, many thanks
A. H.
Plants far tinier than expected and not looking their best. One of the three seems to have already died/died back?
J. S.
I was largely pleased with the order. The odd bulb was not as good as it should be
A. E.
Bought a selection of bulbs, alliums and iris. Arrived promptly. Look good quality and good price. I have always found Parkers’ products to be high quality at a fair price. I am looking forward to the bulbs blooming in 2022 and have no doubt that they will be glorious.
T. M.
My initial order was lost by the carrier but Parkers issued a replacement which came swiftly
P. E.
I bought some roses over a year ago and during this last Summer it was obvious as they bloomed that one was not what I ordered. I contacted Customer Services who apologised and said they would supply me free of charge the correct rose. Obviously due to Covid and the pressures on business, time has gone on and I was starting to think perhaps it would never arrive. However today there was a delivery at my door of my replacement rose which I was really thrilled about. So thank you J Parkers, excellent service, very much appreciated. Paul Eyres
W. B.
Really nice looking bare root plants. Bet excited to see what comes up in the spring.
S. B.
Bought Snowdrops in the Green.
Arrived promptly and were in super fresh condition.
Was expecting little or no flowering time (as has been the case before from other companies) but they have been blooming well and long.
J. S.
Beautiful quality plants and bulbs and my Mum is delighted with her hydrangeas. They were thoughtfully packaged and delivered professionally. Thank you so much, as your products and service are much appreciated.
C. T.
Saffron crocus bulbs arrived in paper bags, always good to have compostable packaging. They were also a bargain, as slightly off season. But all came up nicely and hopefully will be in the swing of things by next year. Very happy with the whole process. As always, J Parkers did not disappoint.
v. p.
Bare root roses were in good condition and arrived in time. The Echinacea bare roots were of good quality but I did not get one of the colours I ordered. The modular plants of echinacea arrived in poor condition with wilted leaves and I am awaiting spring time to see the results.
The bare roots of Phlox and clematis were of good quality.
R. C.
Your service is superb, from enticing brochures to superb plants beautifully packed and delivered. Your web site works easily. I have high hopes that our garden will be transformed this year!
J. L.
I think it would have been good if the plants I received would have been named and the height of each one also hence the 4 stars
K. W.
Most of what I ordered looked great however there was inconsistency - I ordered 2x 3 vinca minor and 3 looked fab but 3 were struggling. Also the clematis came looking mostly dead. I have put them in the ground anyway and will see how they do but after 2 weeks they aren’t looking better.
C. O.
I am a regular customer and have always had a really good experience with J Parkers. Delivery is swift and the bulbs are v reasonably priced and look so beautiful in springtime. I recommend this company, I've had bad experiences with other well known garden companies.
K. M.
Great little plug plants, arrived well packed in excellent condition. Very healthy looking and a decent size for the price. Planted soon after arrival and looking forward to seeing them flower.
V. K.
I am delighted with my purchase of a heritage climbing rose from Parkers. It arrived quickly and is a healthy, vigorous plant. I shall always order my roses from Parkers in the future.
S. W.
I have only ever had good experiences with J Parker’s plants and bulbs. The service is very good and delivery is always on time. I appreciate the personal feel of the website and find the blogs and other information about planting tips really useful.a thanks for the help.
G. N.
Having ordered 3 times .the quality of the product's has been exceptional all the Rose's where to a grade A standard. Look forward to dealings in the future many thanks Gary Newby
B.
We have been customers of J Parkers for a few years now, the service and quality of their plants / bulbs are top notch. so lovely to be able to get hold of the unusual plants that are not necessarily available in the garden centres
good, service, good customer care, quality product.
M. T.
Healthy well packaged plants very good delivery update information
s.
I am more than happy with my order from J Parkers. The website is easy to negotiate and I have always been happy with my plants/bulbs - especially when I was sent a surprise gift (orange azalea) which is doing so well.
R. H.
Everything went smoothly from first ordering to delivery. The time of delivery was very good. The roses are now planted but don't seem in any rush to get going.
D. M.
I was going on holiday and parkers delayed part of my order until my return. Always happy with my order.
p. a.
I received my order which came securely packaged and on time. Each item was individually housed in its own bag. All my bulbs were of a good size and quality ( no small or damaged ones). They look healthy and now I await the start of next year to see them in bloom. I have brought from this supplier several times now and have been very pleased with the plants, all of which have flourished. I would recommend this supplier. Very good. Thank you
L. S.
Received my bulbs after a little wait. But they were very well packed and in excellent condition. They’ll be popped into pots and the garden as soon as we have a rain free day. Thanks J Parker’s.
D. R.
Plants arrived in good time, well watered and packaged. Better than I expected. Only lost 2 plug plants out of over 250. The bare root herbaceous plants have all grown rapidly and look very healthy. Will order again.
m. w.
Some nice healthy plants, but some very small and poor quality. I got about 70% of the plants to survive. I did pot them as instructed and look after them. So a bit disappointed
E. P.
I’m a returning loyal customer after receiving the best quality plants. I’ve wasted money and effort with Sarah Raven and Thompson and Morgan, and am delighted to have found a company that genuinely cares about their plants. I highly recommend this company A*
B. G.
Far too early to say whether the bulbs are successful. They looked in good condition when they eventually arrived. However, having been given a date of delivery from mid August I do feel that more communication would have been good especially as delivery was much later apparently due to flooding across Europe.
S. J.
Would have been nicer if it arrived a bit faster b ut all okay.
R. A.
Well packaged, delivered in a timely manner. Good quality bulbs.
P. C.
Very good delivery. Plants always good condition
k. b.
I have ordered from Parkers many times. They offer very good value and good plants. You may have to allow time for the plants to grow as they can come quite small. Care is taken over the packaging. Bulbs etc also great.
P. L.
Parkers always supply top quality bulbs and tubers, and can be strongly recommended. Products are very well packaged, arrive on time, and their customer support is refreshingly good.
B. A.
Just planted nine begonia corms individually in mini greenhouse to bring them on ready to transfer into containers when the daffies and tulips finally stop flowering! Begonias are pendular and in a matching shade of beautiful soft pink. Put on a non-stop show all summer long come rain or shine!
R. M.
Product was good service was good need to wait now until it starts to grow in 2023
M. B.
I have used J Parker’s for a number of years and always find them very efficient in handling orders. Delivery is always when they say it will be and the quality of plants is beyond question.
A very good company to deal with.
J. S.
Bought 4 shrubs/trees. Very pleased with the plants and I was kept informed about delivery throughout. Thoroughly recommended.
J. T.
I have purchased a variety of plants from jparker nurseries. I have always found the plants to be first rate and would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to buy plants for their garden.
Deliveries even to Scotland are spot on arriving on stated delivery date.
I will continue to purchase my plants from them as I rate their customer service as second to none, if you need plants buy from Parker’s
T. G.
The order arrived in good time and was well packed. On the whole the plants were very good. There were a few duds, but not too many in over one hundred plants. The ten free lupins had shrunk to eight but they have all come on well, which is a lot better than many "freebies" I have had elsewhere. I am happy to use Parkers in the future.
E. S.
Excellent service, plants were delivered well within delivery times. When I made contact to advise that one plant wasn't too healthy it was replaced immediately.
Very impressed with the service provided and the quality of the plants, thry are all flourishing.
J. B.
Plants easy to order on line, good supply of plants. Goods arrived as stated and the Aubretia ordered were in good condition. now planted out and hopefully results of the plants blooming next year, thank you
P. P.
I bought a set of 3 different strawberry plants, they were delivered quickly and were well wrapped. All looked healthy and they are growing well in my garden
J. G.
I am very happy with all my purchases from J Parkers. The plants have arrived in excellent condition and I am always notified of a delivery time, so no missed deliveries.
Great company with a vast collection of plants to chose from.
M. Y. T.
Quick shipping and a nice selection at good prices. The customer service is excellent, if there are any problems, they are quick to reply and sorted things out for me ASAP. I recommend. They have a great deal of experience and take the time to speak to their customers personally with great detail. I was impressed. Thanks for the great customer service!
a. b.
The plants arrived safely packed and very healthy. They were planted as soon as they arrived and have started to shoot out. Very pleased with the quality and service.
E. N.
What a great supplier! We bought a collection of bedding plants, and some dwarf lupins. Every plant is healthy and strong, and looking good. The videos on the website by Jeff are helpful to show you what the plants will grow into, and how to look after them. Highly recommend them.
H. b.
Excellent service, fast delivery, great communication. I will use JParkers every time now, so much better than other companies I have used.
Only disappointment is that about half of the bare rooted plants have not taken, nothing happening, despite following instructions! Hence 4 rather than 5 stars.
Plug plants have arrived in much better condition than other suppliers. Kept informed about order every step of the way. Great service.
s. a.
My order was delivered three weeks after placing and the boxed packing was perfect. However! The nine rose bushes that I ordered were a little shoddy to look at but I persevered with the planting. Because of the frosty conditions at the time I decided to root them in my garage for a week. Then I planted them. I am a little concerned at this time of writing that there seems little chance of side shoots coming through after all this time. The free pack of plants are coming through nicely. Should I wait a little longer
Leslie Allen
J. L.
Delighted with my bulbs which came as promised and were in excellent condition.
M. F.
Order arrived as promised. Extremely well packed items in excellent condition. All bulbs planted and I look forward seeing them in flower next year. Many thanks
C. W.
I have ordered a few times lately from JParkers and have been very satisfied on each occasion. The wisteria I ordered recently arrived well packaged and the plant itself was in moist compost. I will always look at their offers first when choosing a new addition to my garden.
J. S.
What an absolutely brilliant online garden centre! They are fair priced for excellent stock, they are very quick to send out orders and forward an email advising that the goods are on there way. Every plant I have bought from J Parkers is very healthy and of an exceptional good standard. I'm wedded to them. Would most definitely without doubt recommend this company ******
D. G.
Delivery was very prompt, the items well packed, and all three plants seem to have established and are doing well
J. C.
I've always shopped at Parkers and think the plants are excellent and great value. I received some plants through the post and was disappointed that they were wrapped in so much plastic which couldn't be re-used. Other plant providers that I've used have been able to completely package their plants in cardboard and paper. Until Parkers change this I won't be buying from them again by post which is a shame.
D. W.
Some plug plants had obviously taken far to long to reach me and were decomposing. I phoned Parkers and without hesitation they offered to send me garden ready plants to replace them. They quickly did this and the new plants are now thriving in my garden.
Best possible service with no fuss and I suspect the delay in delivery was the fault of the post service and not Parkers.
5 Stars
F. G. &. T.
The climbing roses came in great condition. One of them had large roots, 2 of them were medium and 1 of them was smaller but still great.
Delivery came in about 10 or 12 days after ordering but I wasn't in a rush. Website said Delivery would be done within 28 days.
I would recommend J Parkers to other customers.
s. p.
I purchased 9 potentilla last autumn. They arrived beautifully packed and apparently healthy. Sadly one of the larger ones has not made it through the winter, Parkers however are going to replace it. Super service. Excellent firm.
T. T.
I placed an order online as I found the reviews and selection very good. All plants arrived together. Some look healthy and I am waiting to see how the plug plants do as there is no sign of growth just now. However, I am confident that all will produce growth and colour in Spring. Excellent service and communication
C. A.
Always good products from Parker’s. I’ve never been disappointed. Any issues always sorted quickly and professionally.
Highly recommended.
S. W.
Easy to order what was required. Communication received was very good. Bulbs arrived well packaged
Bulbs planted on 6/10/21
Will await the spring to see how good they are
R. C.
Absolutely fabulous. Purchased pink lemonade blueberry bush came well packaged and in excellent health also pleasently surprised how large the shrub was. J Parker's will definitely be my go to plant retailer. Thank you!
K. M.
First time I'd ordered online and I was really happy with the transaction.
Website is excellent and ordering was easy. Communications were good too.
Delivery was speedy and quality of plants superb. I'd highly recommend to anyone.
B. S.
Parker's always give a good service, in my opinion. I look forward to spring to see the final results.
j. l.
As always good condition plants, reasonable prices, quick delivery, lots of information about plant care
S. K.
I ordered four bare rooted plum trees which arrived in a large box. The root systems did not seem very large for the size of the tree and there were no planting instructions as mentioned in the invoice.
I have given 4 stars for this reason, and because I am yet to see signs of life in the trees which I planted on the day I received them and watered well after first plunging the roots into water.
S. L.
Right, an honest review was requested and that is exactly what I shall give! Communication is the problem!! Great plants, smaller than I expected but very healthy and superb quality, also a wonderful range. It is was such a shame that communication is so lacking, I know it states up to 28 days from ordering but still a little email or text to give a heads up that it's been despatched and a possible tracking reference wouldn't go amiss. There was an issue with me being double charged but after 1 call, this was resolved and the monies back in my account within a couple of days.
Would definitely order again just for the superb plants, just hope they can improve on their communication like many others.
G.
I am a satisfied customer of Parker’s and have had many excellent plants from them. On this occasion my courgette plug plants were accompanied by 3 well fed slugs who had munched their way through the plants. A quick telephone call to Parker’s and their excellent customer services agreed to replace them as a priority order. Thank you Parker’s .
H. M.
Over the years we have ordered items from this long-established firm and have always received excellent service and communication. Their products do exactly as they say they will. Keep up the good work!
A. B.
I have had items off Parks before an the
quality is outstanding well done.
R. a. S. D.
Ordering was easy, delivery was good, but not 100% certain we got what was ordered. 3x Cornus Alba Sibirica, received with green stems, not the expected red stems, but will wait and see what happens when they start growing.
M. B.
I have been trading with your company many years and have always had excellent service. My orders are processed correctly and are delivered by reputable people always at the date stated by the company
The quality of the plants, shrubs, trees and flowers are quality, and come with instructions. To this day, I have never received one failure. I have received many gifts with my purchases, a lovely bonus, and very much appreciated.
With Best Wishes to all the staff.
Mary Banks.
J. B.
The plants I ordered arrived as detailed, all remarkably fresh. J.Parkers have outshone their competitors as these are the only plants I've received this year that were not going on the compost heap. Well done, I shall return.
D. A.
The goods ordered have all thrived, the communication from J. Parkers and the delivery company were excellent. One happy customer.
A. H.
Excellent service very well packed cannot vomment on the plants as we're bulbs and a won't know about them til the spring though they are clean and look health. The pampas is young and not much too it again will not know till next year looks healthy though
E. M.
This is the first time I've ordered from Parkers and overall, it's been a very good experience. The bare root hostas looked very strange when they first arrived but are doing well. We also received some bare root lupins as a free gift and they are thriving. We also ordered some ferns and these have been more of a mixed bag - 3 of the 6 plants are doing OK but 3 are looking very dormant (?!?) . . . I'm hoping they will come round as the weather gets warmer. Since we did the online order, we've also been to their garden centre in Flixton, near Manchester, where they have an amazing range of plants and pots. We got some pond plants from the garden centre and they are flourishing and have made the pond a magnet for birds.
c. b.
I have orderd plants etc fromn Parkers over a number of years and have never been diisappointed with their plants. I have also much appreciated the FREE offers which have sometimes come withmy order.
T. W.
Well Done J Parkers. I Will Be Ordering More Later

Plants were well packaged, they looked a bit sad but soon perked up after I replanted them into bigger pots. They are growing well and I am really pleased with them.

First class company. Expertly packaged plants. Obviously this is a company that goes to great lengths to ensure customer satisfaction. I cannot comment on the plants until next season, but they looked fine when planted.
A. G.
Good quality bulbs and value kept informed of the progress

Ordered host as and was informed they may take 4 weeks to be dispatched, however, much to my delight the plants arrived within two weeks, planted them up and they are sprouting. Nice selection of hostas at a very good price .

Excellent service & product. Have used Parkers for the past 6 years for bulbs to plant up whether for companies or myself. 2500 daffodils this year, ordered and then delivered within 10days

They all look OK, but as bulbs we shall know in years to come. Some were not available but we had a refund and the bare root raspberrys look fine, although dormant.

Over 300 bulbs ordered, bulbs arrived as notified in emails, all in excellent condition and as described on the website. I have used Parkers a lot for my plants and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.

I use J Parkers to order gifts for my Aunt back home in the UK. Each time I order she receives excellent bulbs that make her garden absolutely stunning. I highly recommend J Parkers for all your gardening needs. I look forward to ordering from them again.

Excellent plants, delivered with care and all the instructions you could need. Bought alpine plugs that I thought would spread by next year but they've almost reached full size already and look fab with all the insects on them. Have now bought perennials and they look very healthy.

I HAVE TO EAT MY WORDS. I ordered some lavendar plants from J. Parker's and then decided to read the reviews. I was horrified and tried to contact them for 2 days by phone, unsuccessfully, which was beginning to confirm my suspicions. Eventually, after a couple of weeks, I sent them an email asking when my plants would be delivered, they replied promptly and pointed out, quite rightly, that the deliver date was on the order. It was, but did not actually state it was the delivery date. However, I received my plants on time and I WAS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED, THEY ARE EXTREMELY HEALTHY PLANTS, GROWING PROFUSELY. I WILL DEFINITELY BE ORDERING FROM J. PARKER'S AGAIN.
P. S.
I have had good service and excellent notification of deliveries. I did have a problem with wrong colour gladioli but issue was sorted very quickly and you gave me a refund. The quality of plants and bulbs are excellent. Yours sincerely philippa scivier kent.

I have been thrilled with the plants from Parkers they are definatly the best available. The spring bulbs I have just received arrived when they said they would be and I am looking forward to seeing them bloom. Parkers are now the only nursery I will buy from. I recommend them to all gardeners. Thank you Parkers.

Took a very long time to send out only sent out after a phone call asking about order.

I have ordered twice from this company so far in 2020 (once was during the Covid-19 Pandemic) and both times i was very pleased with the service and quality of the plants.
The only slight niggle is that the plants tend to be crammed into very small boxes (as noted in other reviews also).
My most recent order arrived in good time, especially considering that we are still in the middle of a pandemic.
The staff must be working really hard during this time and to be able to keep up this great service is very much appreciated.
P. B.
We ordered nine (3 packs of 3) blackcurrants. They turned up quickly, well packed, and are really good strong bushes. Not much dearer than you'd pay for those ones in bags in a supermarket, but a hundred times better. Would always recommend Parkers for hedging plants as well.
S. P.
Easy to order.Emailed before arrival, so they don’t arrive unexpectedly. Good quality bulbs,give a good display. Only had to report one failure and they were replaced straight away . All round a reliable company to order from.
N. T.
Plants arrived in great condition and bulbs well packed.
S. R.
After a couple of years of using other plant suppliers with disappointing plants, I came across J Parkers brochure and decided to give them a go. Excellent plants and prompt service. Would certainly use them again and recommend them to my gardening friends.

We've been using Parker's for some years now. Plants arrive well packaged & in good condition. Tulips absolutely stunning. Value for money. Will continue using this company.
