Positive Denza (1 review) On June 8, 2008, Denza Oxford, GA wrote: My order arrived and all I can say about my first Oy Vey order is WOW. First rate all the way...mailed on Tuesday, here on Thursday, wonderfully packed, beautiful healthy plants. These were definitely vibrant plants as less than a week after getting them in the ground, we have had 90+ temps here every day and they are all doing fine. I'm a relatively new gardener and had never ordered plants online, but Wolfgang & Diane made it a fantastic first experience and have earned a definite repeat customer. THANK YOU! Positive madok (1 review) On May 27, 2008, madok Laguna Niguel, CA wrote: Hi, I ordered the strawberry begonia and it is in very good shape. I liked the Gardensoyvey because they were very sincere and trustworthy. They even emailed me a picture of what it looks like when the plant grows. They openly states that they are happy to resend plants when they are damaged. I think that kind of assurance builds trust among us. Madok Positive mekraut (1 review) On May 24, 2008, mekraut Austin, TX wrote: I found the link to this website on Dave's Garden under the vendor category for a begonia grande. I have never tried to buy a plant on-line but I loved their website and decided to take a chance. From placing an order to receiving the plant, it could not have been any easier! In fact, getting the plant into the ground was easy with the great planting instructions. There were several e-mails sent to keep me informed of the status of my shipment. I placed the order on Monday morning and the plant arrived on Thursday in the early afternoon. As it is already hotter than blue blazes here in Austin, Texas, I was surprised at the great condition of the plant when it arrived. The detailed planting instructions and the condition of the plant today make me optimistic that I will be doing business with Gardensoyvey.com again!

I shopped with them online, and was suprised at the service and communication --not to mention the--- the wonderful products. The plants I received were big, well rooted, undamaged, and fresh (as if I had just pulled them out of my own garden that very morning). I was completely happy with my plants. I have shopped with soooooooooooo many online and local nurseries, but Gardensoyvey are on the top of my list!!!! I have recommended them to my friends and family -- but, at first I just wanted to keep them as my secret nursery. This is only my second comment about a company...but when you're good...you're good. I hope nothing changes, because I plan to shop with them until I have no room left in my garden.

This was such a great experience from the amazing size and quality of the plants to the unbelievable customer service. Wolfgang was on top of everything and so willing to make sure my experience was the best it could be. I ordered daylilies, Bee Balm and Joe Pye Weed and all these plants arrived larger than I ever anticipated, healthy and ready to plant. I already have my second order started with them. I have every assurance I will place orders here each year. Best plants and customer service I have experienced!

My order of several plants arrived in a timely fashion & in excellent condition! In the week after planting the Bird's Nest Fern I could see it growing & expanding. Ditto for the Staghorn Fern & the Passion vine. I am very impressed with this company & am getting ready to order again.

The plants themselves were in great condition. Would definitely recommend them and will order from them again.

The communication between the owners (Wolfgang and Diane) and myself was beyond anything I've dealt with from ANY other company, STELLAR!!! They contacted me, via email, to check and make sure it was ok to SHIP my order, Agave 'Spot', only AFTER it had broken dormancy! Customer satisfaction-1st rate. Plant material-Out of this world!!! I will definitely be a repeat customer! Positive blrayman (1 review) On April 3, 2008, blrayman Knoxville, TN wrote: Plants arrived well packaged and as described. Great customer service. Positive wkthompson (1 review) On March 20, 2008, wkthompson Carrollton, GA wrote: I ordered from Gardensoyvey for the first time. I could not be more pleased. The plants arrived VERY well packaged in moist newspaper and plastic bags. I could not believe the size of the plants! The strawberry begonias were so large they would not fit well into one gallon pots. They looked as fresh as if I had just bought them at a good local nursery. The yuccas were also large and in very good shape. I will DEFINITELY order from this company again! Positive Montrose (1 review) On March 20, 2008, Montrose McKenney, VA (Zone 7a) wrote: For several years I've tried to find "Joan Senior" daylilies - and each year have been sent tiny, sick-looking plants from a national nursery. When my order from Gardens Oyvey arrived the very large plants all but climbed out of the box on their own! They are the most beautiful plants I've ever received - and I will use this nursery often as I expand my garden. Fran in Richmond, VA Positive Eaglewalker (1 review) On March 19, 2008, Eaglewalker Memphis, TN (Zone 7b) wrote: I live within driving distance of Gardens Oyvey, have visited twice, and bought quite a number of plants. I love this place because 1) anything that thrives there has a good chance of thriving in my garden, and 2) Wolfgang and Diane are so knowledgeable and helpful. I have a lot of shade in my garden, and they are really good with shade plants. (Perhaps I should also say that I've never had a problem with any plant I got there!) By the way, I would recommend a trip to the garden if you are in the Memphis area. It's like a wonderful park.

I was surprised that the plants were "big". I was expecting a tiny twig.That was a nice surprise. I was also impressed with your great emails and customer service. Now I hope to see some blooms in the future. Positive lepfe (1 review) On November 8, 2007, lepfe wrote: This was my first time ordering from them, but I have ordered from many others--this was the best! I was pleasantly surprised by the frequent communications I received from them & the amount of information they volunteered--the personal attention they gave. The Ann magnolia was shipped promptly, arrived quickly & safely, was packaged extremely well, & arrived in excellent condition. It was larger than they specified, & will probably bloom next year. I would certainly recommend this nursery to anyone, highly. Positive mossgardener (1 review) On November 8, 2007, mossgardener Atlanta, GA wrote: I LOVE this company. I wish all internet orders were like this. I order alot online, and sometimes you just don't know what you're going to get. My plants were healthy, they arrived quickly, the packaging was perfection, and the instructions were absolutely clear. The owners were so pleasant to deal with, and their stock is so good, that I plan on using them the next time I need plants, especially in the spring, even though I live in a city with lots of nurseries. Very professional company. Great website.

Positive ferncrazy (1 review) On October 17, 2007, ferncrazy San Francisco, CA wrote: All the plants were in beautiful condition. The clumps of saxifraga stolonifera were so large that I can divide them. They threw in two extra plants to make up for the shipping cost. The order arrived very fast. A great experience!

They tossed in an extra plant just to say thanks. Excellent planting instructions. Will definitely order again. Positive seventeen (3 reviews) On August 28, 2007, seventeen Chicago, IL wrote: I recieved plants last week from Gardensoyvey and they were enormous! huge! There were some smaller sized grasses in the order and I expected that--(I was told they would be small)--so that was fine. As others have noted, Diane and Wolfgang are wonderful people to order plants from and probably to know as well. They were very helpful to me during the shipping process via email--I felt very secure before the plants arrived. Their web site is a blast! I recommend browsing Diane's article's and photos--I am sure they are more informative for those living in the southern parts of the United States, but I found them fascinating even though I live in a very different climate. I would love to someday visit their nursery. Gardensoyvey's plant selection is excellent--you can find a lot of wonderful plants through their site. I recommend Gardensoyvey with great enthusiasm.

Great communication as well, I will shop there again! Positive jweibel (1 review) On July 17, 2007, jweibel Redding, CT wrote: Ordering from Diane and Wolfgang was great from start to finish. They notified me that they soak their plants before summer shipping and mail mid-week to avoid plants sitting in the P.O. all weekend. The hydrangeas and clematis arrived with roots wrapped in wet newspaper and plastic bags and in fine condition. They surprised me with more than I had ordered and with a surprise plant as well! And along with the order more personal notes as to planting and care. Truly I am one satisfied customer!! Positive tonygee (2 reviews) On July 13, 2007, tonygee San Francisco, CA wrote: The packing for the hydrangeas was great and the plants arrived fresh in SF, California. There was even a bloom on Hayes Starburst and a small bud. For sure, I will be a repeat customer! Positive EddieK (1 review) On July 10, 2007, EddieK Ringwood, NJ wrote: WOW all I can say.

It was a real pleasure doing business with them. Positive n2birds (14 reviews) On May 13, 2007, n2birds Lakeland / Memphis, TN (Zone 7a) wrote: I am one who is priveleged to live close enough to visit this nursery in person. If anyone is ever in the area - you must call them and try to go by. This is a garden/nursery you won't want to miss. Their grounds are well kept in such a natural setting. Their hospitality is beyond words. Their love of what they do is obvious when you see how wonderful all their plants are, and they won't let anything go out the gate that isn't up to their standards. They are hard to find, but worth every minute of it. They have a huge variety of hydrangeas, sedums, odd plants and even have a nice gift shop area. Wolfgang and Diane allow you to walk all around their 5 acres of home/nursery and take in all you desire. You can meditate by the pond or relax in the moss garden. My first trip I only spent $150, but already wanting to go back for more. Thanks Diane and Wolfgang on such a wonderful example of what a true nature lover should be.

Positive JaynieC (2 reviews) On May 4, 2007, JaynieC West Mansfield, OH wrote: I have been wanting a PeeGee Hydrangea for a long time. They are nearly impossible to find around here and if you do find one they are wildly expensive. I searched this website for a supplier and chose this company based on the reviews. I am thrilled with the plant I received! It is huge for the price I paid. And it was very carefully packaged. As others have stated they communicate alot during the ordering/shipping process, which is very reassuring. I will definitely buy from them again!

I had an absolutely delightful experience dealing with Diane and Wolfgang, and would certainly buy plants from them again. I ordered a small magnolia tree over the winter for spring delivery, and their communication from January through to now has been prompt and detailed. I needed to delay shipping for a week while I was going to be out of town, and they handled the change without a hitch. The magnolia itself when it arrived was gorgeous and healthy looking and a very nice size for the price. I'm looking forward to seeing it thrive in my garden!

Thanks! Positive EcoGeek (2 reviews) On April 4, 2007, EcoGeek Collierville, TN wrote: This is the type of business we should all patronize simply to reward the owner for her dedication to her passion. We were fortunate enough to meet Diane, and she shared with us some of her hard earned wisdom. Not only is her nursery a treat for the eyes, it is also a treat for the soul. It is a truly magical place. Diane's knowledge is invaluable, and she is only too happy to share what she knows. The plant stock is first rate. She and her business are shining examples of the right way to run a nursery. Thank you Diane for helping zone 5 gardeners adapt to our new location, and thanks for helping us on a day when you weren't technically open.
