   It looks like the items you have listed won’t ship until next spring (according to the their website). Is that right?

  From reading the description these should ship this spring… I think? Where are you seeing next spring?

  I saw it listed for all the liquidation priced plants. Thanks Collin for the clarification.

  I ordered things that are to be shipped in spring and got shipping confirmation saying they will be delivered the beginning of April. So it is this spring 🙂

   I almost ordered over $100 worth of fruit trees from them but changed my mind when I found this site of reviews:
   https://davesgarden.online/products/gwd/c/188/
   418 positives
   149 neutrals
   379 negatives
   Just think we should all make educated decisions.

   I would not reonlinemend buying any live plants from them but to go for other gardening supplies. My personal experience from them is not good for plants.

   A good resource that rates online gardening supplies (plants, seeds, etc) is Dave’s Garden. They have what they call The Garden Watchdog and it is onlineposed of member’s ratings on online gardening stores from which they have personally made purchases. I have been a member for several years. You do not have to be a member to use The Garden Watchdog – only to post to it.

  In most cases when you order from catalogs you’ll be getting bulbs, seeds, or bare root plants. You’ll need to plant them. 🙂

   Not to sound ungrateful but shipping is a whopping $12.95!!!! Omg. That seems pretty steep!!! Hmmmm….. Anybody else think so?

  Yes!!! That shipping price looks like it more than covers the price of a couple of plants.

  Agreed. Shipping is too high to make the savings worth it in my experience.

  It depends on what you’re getting. I’ve been trying to remember to pick up a second blueberry bush, so that my blueberries can cross pollinate and actually grow. I was willing to pay about $25 at a local garden center. $13 for a new blueberry bush to cross pollinate with my older one is a good deal, therefore it’s worth it to me. If I were just getting decorative plants, perhaps it would be a different story, but I figure I just saved $12 off a blueberry bush. Any little savings helps!

  Not only is there $12.95 in shipping, but it was $9.95 BEFORE I applied the code, so they while the $15 overall discount is nice, it’s not truthful advertising. Try it yourself, add items to your cart, shipping $9.95, apply code shipping $12.95. BUT all in all, $12.95 for 24 of the bulbs I wanted I’ll sacrifice….thanks!!

  Mine actually showed $7.95 and then jumped to $12.95 after entering the code. Instead of $20 off you actually only get $15. I agree, not good business!

   Here is the link in their FAQs. https://springhillnursery.online/article.asp?ai=171. It states in writing that orders up to $20 ship for 7.95, and orders 20.01 to 40.00 ship for 9.95. When it adjusts, call their customer service to get it fixed. I got this tip from an old blog. It isn’t active anymore, but there is still a lot of excellent information if you want to see. This is her link to the spring hill deal from a couple years ago, but she references the shipping issue. I also highly reonlinemend going to the “Getting Started” page and scroll down to the “Family Bills” section. She has tons of information on cutting regular monthly bills.

   I just tried ordering from them, and after I put in my CC number, they charged it full amount! I just emailed them to cancel the order. I wouldn’t try to order from them. Not a great onlinepany!

  It did the same for me…I called the customer service # and gave them the key code and they credited my card $20. So, I actually end up paying $3 less than I originally thought since my shipping cost remained at 9.95 instead of 12.95 with the error.

    Same thing happened to me Jodi!! I have ordered from them in the past. They are very good at replacing anything that dies. But to pay the $12.95 shipping just because of the discount made me cancel my order!!

    I have ordered from this onlinepany a few times and nothing I have planted has ever onlinee back the next year. I am an avid and knowledgeable gardener, but the plants that shipped were very small and just didn’t make it. I would reonlinemend looking elsewhere for plants.

  I agree – I ordered strawberries and a blueberry bush from them in the past on a deal like this. The blueberry “bush” was nothing more than a stick – I doubted if it was even part of the blueberry family – it looked like they literally picked up a stick somewhere! The strawberries were a little better although scrawny and dehydrated. The leaves perked up a little after being planted and watered but they never bloomed or produced a thing and didn’t onlinee back the following year. Not worth the $$$!!!!

  I had the same experience with 2 of their blueberry bushes, one from an original order and one from a replacement they sent me. I requested another replacement and never got anything.

    I figured I’d take a chance and order from them. I am a terrible gardener. My plants all die no matter where I buy them from – at least this way I can tell myself it’s their fault when they die and not mine. 🙂

    This has always been a well known nursery about 6 miles from me. It changed hands several years ago and it is not family run now. I had a friend that used to work there until she had part of her finger cut off due to the lack of safety features on their equipment. I’m not surprised at hearing some the above negative onlinements. I know no one locally that actually buys anything there.

    Shipping is very high! Most of these plants can be purchased at a local nursery, home depot, lowes, etc. for the cost of the shipping from this place. Plus there are many bad reviews……not worth the risk.

    I have purchsed the pink and yellow magic roses the past two years and all but one have done great. When you get these they are in a 3″ pot but within one year they were full sized. The first year I did get a lot of blooms throughout the summer and into fall. Last summer I bought a mystery box and all but three of the items did not make it. I am thinking about getting some more roses with this deal.

    I am also an avid gardener here in the Acworth/Woodstock, GA area.
    For my money, I always go with Lowe’s here on 92, sometimes HDepot across the st. I know they are big box but the buyers for Lowes are excellent at selecting a wide variety of good growers, year after year. I have a yard full of daylilies, crape myrtles trees(LOVE these!), irsis, azaleas, etc. Almost ALL from Lowes. Both stores offer mback if your plant dies.

    A spring tip for novice gardeners-you can’t go wrong with DAY LILIES! Sooo many colors! They are gorgeous, silly easy to grow and VERY forgiving. Plus-you can split them with one slice of the shovel and make you a second plant!

    When I entered the code it accepted it but after I entered my credit card information, on the order page it did not accept the code. I called them back and told them to cancell the order.

    I tried to order, but as with others, my shipping went up when I entered the code. I called customer service and got ahold of a non-english speaking representative. After wasting my time getting all my info and the order, she told me she couldn’t do anything about the shipping charges. What a waste of time! I did email the onlinepany and onlineplain, who knows if they’ll get back to me.

    They had a garden store when I was in high school and I worked there. They were a great onlinepany. Lots of hard work (I am grateful for now) went into that job. The product was a good one. I am not sure about the mail order, but was very excited to see this offer.

    I was told when I called customer service that with the coupon code there is a flat rate shipping charge of $12.95. So no matter what you get or how much, you will pay $12.95 with this code. I have been researching where to purchase several varieties of flowers that you just can’t find anywhere around here locally. Most of the places I have looked into charge pretty hefty shipping for live plants. I guess it is all the wrapping and extra care, etc. I just punched in exactly what I got from Spring Hill into the Home Depot website (local stores do not carry them) and HD would charge me $47.91 for the same three plants…plus they do not guarantee their plants. It actually says that they are not guaranteed. So for paying only the $12.95 shipping, this is still a good deal and the plants are guaranteed.

  Both Lowes and Home Depot have a one year guarantee on their plants, so not certain why you are stating otherwise.

    I’ll also chime in and warn everyone. I participated in a deal similar to this a couple of years ago. Not one of the plants I received survived. As such, I cannot reonlinemend this.

    I placed two orders last night using the code. This morning I called customer service to see if they could onlinebine the two shipments. I was very leary after reading all the negative onlinements and wanted to cancel my shipments. They were very friendly and very helpful. My shipments were onlinebined and they told me about their lifetime guarantee on their plants.

  How does the lifetime guarantee from this onlinepany work? Mailing dead plants via USPS could get costly.

  You are just supposed to email the onlinepany to request a replacement of your dead plant, they will ship you a new plant during the correct time of the year (usually not until the next spring or fall). But I had a blueberry bush that never made it out of the box they replaced it once with yet another one that never survived out of the box and I never received my next replacement.

    Shipping for me changed from $7.95 to $12.95 after I entered the code. I cancelled the order. If you have an offer, you don’t make it up by changing the shipping, that is deceitful. This is not a good offer.
