That is the comapny that more or less took over the worst mail order plant place
MG, and guess what, they are still as bad.

Has anyone had any experiences with either Gurney's or Springhill
Nursery? The reason I ask is that I recently ordered from both and
discovered something interesting. Both appear to be owned by the same
company, Scarlet Tanager, LLC which is descriebd by the Indiana Secretary
of State as a "Foreign Limited Liability Company" (although apparently
Springhill is now owned by a subsidiary of Scarlet Tanager.
Additionally, the service at Gurney's, at least in my case was
absolutely abysmal. I ordered over 35 hedge plants to create a border
between property lines, and was told they were all in stock and ready for
shipment. I waited a few days and removed what bordering hedges I had, to
get a jump on the arrival of the Gurney plants. Waiting over 10 days now, I
decided to call Gurney's to check the order status and was told they had
cancelled my order due to the items being out of stock! (Interestingly
enough, I got this information after they had confused the Gurney's order
with the one from Springhill!!) This was done with no notification even
though they had both my e-mail address and home address, in addition to my
phone. This left me in quite a predicament...until I searched my entire area
and found a local nursery with the same hedge as I required.
I don't think I shall be doing any business whatsoever with either
company in the future.
Just the rantings of a disgruntled customer...fwiw.
