Excellent service

I have just been into the Bourne Valley garden centre and could not fault the service on the service counter, everything sorted and help given where needed

Staff not wearing masks

Bourne Valley has a lovely selection of items and I've always enjoyed browsing there. But I visited on Thursday and was appalled by the number of staff wearing masks around their chins or with their noses exposed (and this was inside, not outside). There was even a woman working in the clothing section with no mask at all (and no visor). I was disgusted by their lack of concern for the wellbeing of their customers.

My first purchase from Bourne Valley…

My first purchase from Bourne Valley Garden Centre via their website. I had a problem with the product and their customer services dealt with it splendidly. They were extremely efficient, caring and polite. I would have every confidence in ordering from them again.

Compost Maker not very effective

I go to Bourne Valley Garden Centre quite a lot and have a Loyalty Card. However, on a recent visit, they have de-stocked Garotta Compost maker (which I buy a lot of). They now only sell the Miracle-Gro Compost Maker - this looks like chicken manure pellets, but in my estimation is not nearly as effective as Garotta, which I have used for years. I'm now looking for an alternative place to source Garotta to use on my compost heap. Won't buy the Miracle-Gro version again - I'm also keen to use a British (Northern Irish) company rather than American.

How not to gain customer loyalty....

Last year I purchased two expensive topiary box trees for planters. Within a few weeks they were in terrible condition. I went back to Bourne Valley and was told that this was moth infestation. And they said that they would not replace them.

I went for a second opinion at the RHS centre in Wisley who confirmed that moths are a significant issue with box trees in Surrey. They themselves had to destroy quite a few trees in their stock. Interestingly they confirmed that if I had purchased them from Wisley they would have replaced them under their no quibble guarantee.

Clearly Bourne Valley does not operate to the same standards. And as a result I will not be purchasing plants from them again.
