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.

Surely £9.50 is a misprint from that company for 10 ?
Having said that, I just looked at her website and it is clear that just
about everything is way, way overpriced.
Goodness me! How DO they get away with it.
