Things are changing at Sarah Raven and I am moving away. The catalogue and website emphasis is all about bulb collections, this is not the way I shop. Then my relatively small order arrived in 3 deliv... See more

- awful plants delivered. Send out plants far too early, each one at best a single straggly wizened unimpressive weakling. Complained and they replaced some which had not recovered, but still poor pl... See more

Sarah Raven were fine but Yodel were appalling. They failed to deliver or let me know at first and then left the parcel lying in the street outside a near neighbour in the wrong road and post code.

The quality of the spring bulbs this year has been outstanding. I’ve purchased from many different companies and SR’s have been, healthier, bigger & ultimately worth every penny.
