Rocket Gardens Avis 

I ordered some vegetable plants from the team at Rocket and they arrived today as advised by their courier and exactly to time.
All the plants were excellent, perfectly packaged and now potted on and in the greenhouse really for planting out later this month. Have used Rocket Gardens before and can recommend them.

The plugs I bought from Rocket Garden arrived in great condition and were superbly packed.
I have purchased plugs from other well known companies and the failure has always been in shipping. Fragile plants don’t like being thrown around and invariably there is damage
The plants from Rocket Garden were so well packed that despite the delivery person throwing them over the gate, they all were in excellent shape

Very pleased with plants looking healthy and very well packaged. Well done

What a breath of fresh air as our first delivery of plants arrived this morning ... Peas, Spinach and Sweet Peppers. More to come. The packaging was super efficient ... eco friendly (no plastic) and really well secured. DPD decided to toss it over a 7' gate instead of ringing the doorbell, so I would ding Rocket Gardens for using them, but even with that flight, everything in the box was secure and well cared for.

If I had a fault it is that we ordered stuff a while ago (early April), I now understand how it works, they ship when it is right to go out where you live. But didn't understand that completely at first, so more advance communication on that would be helpful.

Plants look great and the Growing Guide as opposed to a catalog was an excellent addition. Tons of good information in there and something that will adorn our bookcase as a guide for quite some time.

Looking forward to our next 2 deliveries and telling all my friends.

Plants arrived packed carefully , in great condition,more than happy with my order , will definitely use again.

All praise to this Rocket Gardens. Their plants, their packaging, their customer service is an example to other suppliers of plants. I’d been badly let down by another company, selling me dead or dying plants in packaging which fell apart during transit. Rocket Gardens came to the rescue. Every plant was received healthy and undamaged. For such quality of plants, Rocket Garden’s prices are excellent value for money. I will certainly think of them first when needing plants in the future.

Just received my plants and I have never received such well presented and protected plants in over 30 years buying plants mail order and online. So impressed I have already been browsing for more. The herbs are good specimens and are healthy and thriving. Good value for money.

Having ordered verisus plants from rocket gardens including plugs of peas dwarf french beans and lettuce I was impressed with the quality of the plants, the condition they came in and the swiftness with Which they arrived. I have placed another order for more plants. Can't wait. Angela, Surrey

Rocket Gardens provided times and dates when my order would arrive, and when the plants came they were incredibly robust and healthy, and packed in a careful and eco-friendly way. I can't recommend them enough - and will certainly use them again!

My runner beans arrived and very impressed by quality.
As octogenarian,unable to drive anymore I have been disappointed in other sites but Rocket gardens excellent

Early days yet as plants only received and planted this weekend. Plants dispatched within preferred timeframe, small but well packaged and in good condition .

A problem with delivery agent dealt with swiftly (over the weekend). Time will tell on how they grow and resulting harvest.

The plants arrived so well-packaged and plastic-free. Communication was fantastic and I was kept well informed as to when the plants might arrive. The booklets and guidance you receive are fantastic, I also love the weekly email - it’s our first time growing veg and the information is really helpful.

We were missing one plant but the customer service has been brilliant in getting this sorted. I’ve already recommended to my family and we’ll be ordering again next year. Thank you!

Ordered autumn vegetable plugs for our allotment.
They arrived very healthy and strong and I really admired the non plastic packaging. I would definitely order from them again , I live in a small London flat so very little space, window sills! For growing seedlings

Another great delivery!!! We ordered leeks and spring cabbage on our last order, they arrived looking fabulous!!! Strong and healthy plants! We weren't able to plant them straight away but were given information about how to keep them happy until we could put them in their permanent beds which we followed and last weekend we put them in their permanent beds and they are all very happy!!!! I highly recommend this company and we have just placed our 3rd order!!!!!!

The plants we ordered were for a school to start a sensory corner for our nursery age children. The plants came beautifully packaged the children really enjoyed unpacking them, touching and smelling our new plants. Then we received a newsletter with lots of tips and ideas. Thank you

I ordered the family veggie package of three deliveries in the year (may, June and September)
Just wanted to tell you how pleased I have been with all my packages. They all survived travel from Cornwall to Scotland brilliantly.
I haven't had success with everything I planted, for some reason I haven't managed to grow a decent carrot at all - probably put them in the wrong places. I got raised bed frames for my Christmas present at the start of the year, but still had to use an assortment of pots and troughs for the huge number of plants you sent. And some plants got planted in the flower beds too.
Also everything has had some problems because of the very dry summer we have had, almost unheard of in Scotland. Since our rivers have also been very low, I have tried to do minimal watering, so at times I have been surprised that anything has done so well. Some of my long-established raspberries finished rather early this year (but not before we could eat a lot and freeze a lot). The rocket was a little disappointing, whereas the lollo rosso and chard were magnificent.
I also failed to keep off the cabbage white butterflies, despite companion planting of lavender, marigolds, and a profusion of borage which the bees love.
Enough broccoli and other brassicas have survived though, for our favourite broccoli and stilton soup to become a regular lunchtime treat again.
But the first Spring good crops were spinach and Kale (cavolo nero) of which we ate copious quantities. Then peas, lettuce, and baby beets before the beans started coming profusely. The French beans didn't do as well as the runner beans, but I have enough portions in re-used take-away and ice-cream boxes in the now rather full freezer to keep us going through all the winter months.

I left my review until the end of the season as “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”. And so, on reflection, all I can say, is that every single item flourished (dwarf French beans, beetroot, lettuce x2) and cropped beautifully. I will definitely be a return customer next season.

Sadly the chard I got from Rocket was diseased and one squash plant in bad condition. Really mixed reviews on the rest, the flowers barely grew and all died, so did most of the courgette plants. The Broad beans are the only ones that are doing well - they’re flowering now. The dispatch was quick, and they came well packaged in eco packaging. The customer service were really helpful and refunded me for the diseased plants though!

My veg plants were delivered in time for me to plant before going on holiday the plants were so healthy and fresh and I am looking forward to seeing how they are faring when I return!

The info and updates on delivery were much appreciated

The delivery was very prompt indeed, arrived the day after dispatch. The plants I received were really excellent and I have never had plants so well packaged ever. It was great to see the packaging was all eco friendly and recyclable.
Highly recommended
