The plant was for my granddaughter-in-law’s birthday and because of the late delivery she received the present six days late. She was thrilled with the plant and is looking forward to it flowering.

Bad Quality control

I paid for this because I wanted a plant that came well potted and ready to go. Unfortunately I got a plant that is terribly planted and growing at a bad angle, I’ll have to redo it and the plant is suffering. Very upset.

Great gift!

This was a gift for my cousin. She loved it! I was gifted an olive plant and wanted to pass on the happiness.

Excellent Customer Service

I had a plant come on the absolute coldest day in December (below zero) and despite my getting to the package within an hour and the cold-safe packaging, the plant was too frozen to save. The Sill customer service was quick with a reply and sent a new plant out to replace the one that had died. My only complaint was that the replacement wasn’t sent out right away-however, it was the holidays and I was not in need of it in a timely manner, so I understand and didn’t mind the slight delay. I would prefer to rate this experience 4.5/5 stars, not 4/5 stars.

A top shelf nursery

A top shelf nursery. The plants we received are beautiful, well packed, soil was moist. They were received during a cold snap, we bought 2 heat packs that worked great.
