Dave's Garden

Last year I bought Zucchini seeds from David's. I wrote him and told them would not germinate. His response? An insulting e-mail to me. I can't even proof them.
I still have the seeds, if anyone needs proof!

Got my order promptly. But they didnt even get my name right! It came to Anita HARVEY. My last name is HARDY! As I ordered from them last year, and recieve catalogs, with the correct name.
You would think this wouldnt be a problem

This is one of the worst companies I dealt with in years. I ordered 12 dahlia tubers and only five grew. I emailed the company and they responded with a form response that the dahlias are not for my zone. They certainly are as I've been planting dahlias for years. Also, Holland Bulb Farms sent the wrong items. I got two orders of the same dahlias and the other three that grew was not what I ordered. The condition of the tubers were terrible. Some bags had only two tubers instead of three and the tubers were small and unhealthy looking. How does this company stay in business?

Once upon a time, this was a good website. But that was then, and this is now.

My advice for anyone considering joining today is, "Run away! Run away!"

Super pleased with the efficient and friendly way my purchase was accomplished... in every, Dave's Garden is what one would ask for as a buyer. Certainly will be a return customer and will look forward to doing business. Smiling here!

Took my money but sent not one plant from my order. Planting date is 1.5 weeks away. Very concerning

Why can't I change my user name?

Five years ago, we fired an unsuitable employee who became disgruntled. She wrote a review of our farm making totally untrue statements. It was signed *******. I contacted Dave's Garden and received no help. My husband passed away and I again contacted them for respect for my husband and the post still remains. If you google our farm, it still reads it's disgusting, the owner was drunk, etc. all libel statements and totally untrue. I can't imagine what this company thinks they are going to gain by doing this.

What a subscription hungry grumpy old Lady's club (male and female) this site has been become. Nothing like it used to be. Smartassy, unwelcoming comments by the mostly clueless self important and power-tipping admins. The database is still somewhat valid and usable, but a subscription is way more trouble than it's worth.
Once you sign up, account can't be deleted. Kind of creepy for modern days.

I ordered Autumn Revolution Bittersweet from Sooner Plant Farm after having a nice conversation with them about this vine. It arrived in perfect condition. Their method of packing and sending live plants is the best I've ever seen! I planted it the next day and it is doing well. I highly recommend Sooner Plant Farm!

Unfriendly, combative and discriminatory community. Gee, I thought plant people are nice people! You can't delete your account. Watch *carefully* what type info you provide, it may stay there forever.

Ordered product on Monday and paid $ 22.95 to get it by Wednesday AM. Got tracking from Fed-Ex and anticipated delivery was for Thursday by 8:00 PM. I passed up other companies for dollars less that I could have got product 30% less by Thursday. I should have researched and found out that this company is notorious for this scam. BUYER BEWARE. There are better deals out there for way less and you can get it in the same time frame. Take a few minutes of research and save more than a few bucks. Trust me.

This is primarily a website for Americans and Canadians. This is important to remember if you come from the UK, because some plants which thrive in the US don't like our dull wet climate.
But it's great to write about your gardening experiences and get it published, upload photos etc It's very well organised and the people who run it are very helpful.

Bought a cactus that ended being a third of the size pictured. Avoid! Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

This used to be a very friendly and informative website. Not so anymore. The current management rules the site with an iron fist, banning those who disagree or question policies with no advance notice or recourse. Whether you are looking for a regional or plant-specific gardening website, there are plenty others that allow respectful discussions in an adult fashion. Stay away from this one.

Won't let me sign up for plants trading. Won't let me email
Mobile unfriendly. If they get their act together please email mr@ *******@gmail.com

STAY AWAY! MANY OF THE REVIEWS ARE FAKE/BOUGHT ON FIVERR. THE SITE ADMINISTRATORS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MONITOR THEIR REVIEWERS SO JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU READ IS BOGUS.

Dave's Garden was my go-to website for info, plant info and availability, articles and nursery reviews.
It's almost impossible to navigate since the recent reformatting. Ads block content and pop-ups are annoying. Are they trying to lose followers?

Back in the day, this was the cat's pajamas for plant info, with their extensive database. That's still there, but the wind has gone out of the sails for this website. The site administrators have an adversarial relationship with their subscribers for some reason, and people are leaving for greener pastures. You have to be careful what you post there - if they decide they don't like it, they will remove your post or kick you off the site entirely. (I am not talking about inappropriate postings, just something that they perceive as critical to their administration.) There are other sites that are a lot more dynamic and friendly to choose from. I will probably continue to consult their database, but no longer as a paid subscriber.

On of My Favorite Sites!
