Default Plants from Sarah Raven

Has anyone ordered plants from Sarah Raven? I ordered some, seeds, bulbs and plants. Ordering very efficient, email notification when things are despatched. Seeds and Lily bulbs arrived very successfully. Today I had a box of plants. The box was too big for the plants and they were all shaken around inside, compost coming loose. I expected better and have sent off a strong complaint. It was partly the delivery company throwing the box about but the packaging was so inadequate. My first and last order from her. Pam in Bristol


My own experience looking at her boxed plants is that they are incredibly expensive.A couple of years ago she was selling 10 Little Gem lettuce plantlets for £9.50.At the same time we were selling a box of 15 lettuce plants for £1.
My advice is to stay well clear.
