Secret gardening club

[Runforwine]

Morning all,
I recently ordered plants from the secret gardening club, they're small but very healthy. Anyway, they sent me a voucher for 20%off if it's any use to anyone. www.secretgardeningclub.co.uk/pages/voucher/ZPPYXJRK. I also get 20%off. Thanks.

Nothing to be disappointed with there, apart for the alchemia moly’s perhaps. I have that growing like a week but all the others would suit me! Hurrah @Runforwine! Can’t wait for mine but idea when they will be despatched. The main thing is that yours were well parcelled up to arrive in good condition.

I’ve ordered from them twice now and the plants have been fantastic each time. Small but strong. I’ve had shrubs and perennials and they’re all doing well. Each order has arrived within a week and that’s with the free delivery option. I got my first delivery in May and my last one about three weeks ago. I haven’t lost any of the plants and they seem to be doing well. Salvias especially.

Thank you , I’ve ordered a mystery box too. How exciting! God knows where I’m going to put them though ...

thank you just order a load!

**wohmum Let us know what you get in your box. I'm tempted to but an other one but unsure as I don't want to end up with loads of the same plants!

You lot led me astray. I've just ordered my mystery box too.

So sorry everyone. My box arrived yesterday and I got over excited and planted most of it out without taking a photo so I have some now. In my box I received :

1 x PENNISETUM alopecuroides
1 x Stipa tennuissima Pony Tails
1 x Stipa arundinacea
1 x Hermerocallis citrina
1 x Heuchera 'Binoche'
1 x DELPHINIUM Excalibur Light Blue with White Bee
and then I ordered the below ivy separately
2 x Hedra shamrock

As you can see, relatively big, healthy looking plants. Very pleased.

**Fourquenelles they look lovely.

fourquenelles you got heuchera Binoche. Jackpot I think. A) I love heucheras. B) Not got that one. C) Looks lovely. D) Named after Juliette Binoche. Pic lifted from google. This is it.

That does look lovely onalongsabbatical. Now to try and stop the dogs weeing on them

Ha ha - good luck with that! No dogs here...resident hedgehog, frog, wood pigeon family all in residence in my garden. Despite it being teeny-weeny.

Will do .. need to clear some space for them tomorrow !

Hi folks! My plants arrived and I'm delighted - bar a couple I wouldn't have chosen, but that's neither here nor there. They are lovely plants well packed, so I'm def going to get more from them some time. I got:
Unspecified verbena
Delphinium casa blanca
Bergenia shoeshine rose
Penstemon raven
Lavandula white scent
Trollius europaeus
Lithodora grace ward
Molinia cerulea varigata x 2
Zantedeschia aethiopica
Chasmontheum latifolium
Coreopsis sunshine superman
Festuca elijah blue
Lavandula Hidcote
Rosemary
plus I ordered at non-mystery prices Heuchera Binoche and Crocosmia Emily Mackenzie.

I'll try and post some pix tomorrow but I'm having a crazy busy day! But thanks again Runforwine dead pleased.

I bought a mystery box a few weeks ago, and only one plant had a label on it. I am relieved that other people have received plants with labels! Was starting to think that was part of the mystery .

Everything in mine totally labelled, some of them twice! Maybe you had an untrained trainee packing yours ThomasHardyPerennial - did you work out what they all were?

Thanks @onalongsabbatical, I must have received the same box as you, except three of mine were without labels and the box had clearly been handled very roughly. Plants in fairly good shape though so I feel it is the fault of dhl not the nursery. But I did have to chase my order so all in all a mixed bag.
It was fun getting a mystery box not sure if I would do it again. I will post pics tomorrow.

My box has just arrived, too. I'm very pleased with it. The contents are very similar to onalongsabbatical's. One plant has lost its label and its bugging me because it looks familiar but I can't quite remember what it is! I also bought an unmysterious heuchera and kniphofia so will have fun planting tonight.

ComebackintoTheGardenMaud I have a free app called plantnet that has been really helpful to Id plants and get info about them. I'm so glad everyone seems please with their plants.

Having seen some of the spectacularly bad plant IDs on threads here, which have apparently come from apps, I don't trust them but am hoping I'll have a lightbulb moment soon!

ComeBackIntoTheGardenMaud post a pic of your unlabelled one, someone should be able to id it especially if it's the same as one of mine.

My mystery box arrived today also - very similar to onalongsabbatical’s
