Testimonials

Kingsdown were so easy to deal with – quick to respond, attentive and their prices really competitive… the Espaliered Pears arrived in perfect condition despite their stately years and instantly looked at home leaning against the old barn, as though it had always been so.

Hi Jack,

Just a quick message to say thanks for the magnificent Carpinus betulus, the client was over the moon. We planted today and they look rather good.

Are there any more of these available?

…I like coming to Kingsdown Nurseries not because you are just a good nursery, but because you are a bit special in this hectic and commercial world.

We are making gardens and bringing pleasure to people … I think you really understand this.

See you in January and beyond.

All the best

 

Hello Nathan,

Just wanted to thank you for the delivery of super plants on Friday.  The delivery driver was utterly charming; the nicest one we have ever had!

Kind regards,

 

I would like to make another order for the Palace and also tell you just how amazing the Tulip Red Shine were in April.  They were a huge draw for our visitors and made a new contemporary garden a real highlight.

To one and all of the Kingsdown dream team! It has been another wonderful year to work with you all once again. I hope it continues to be such a happy relationship. Lots of love.

I have been doing my job for 17 years and over this time I have had to deal with a large number of suppliers, particularly plant growers and nurseries. Without exception they have been unreliable and difficult to deal with. These include some of the really high profile growers in the UK… Kingsdown in my opinion has the edge on customer service, reliability, speed of quotes (helps hugely and is very efficient meaning I can quote quickly and 9/10 I get the job) really good delivery reliability – this is absolutely key to us efficiently delivering our promise to our clients and I have been badly let down in the past with 9am deliveries arriving at 3pm and worse. Your plants are excellent and you don’t seem to mind me returning things! Nothing feels like too much bother and I have appreciated your support over my catastrophic project in M……..n.

 

Hi Jack, Thank you for your email. I have just bought some young trees from you. The quality was very good, especially the root structure – all combined with an excellent service. I will be recommending you to my friends. Thank you.

To All at Kingsdown,
Thank you so much for getting together the lovely plants for W……….p House.
It was a pleasure to do business with you and I look forward to buying more plants from you in the future.

Hi Nathan – I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, you are blooming brilliant!

Hi Hannah
Just thought I would let you know how pleased I was with the plants you delivered to Great Somerford for me. The quality was very good. My only problem was just how hot it was when I came to put them in this afternoon!

Hi Sarah,
Just a quick message to say thank you for the plants – excellent quality and great service.

I love coming to Kingsdown – it’s the friendliest place on earth!

Kingsdown have always been very supportive, courteous and offered tremendous help to us every time we place an order or have a quote request. Even when things have not quite gone to plan Kingsdown have always had a solution and been very quick to resolve any issues albeit this has been on a very rare occasion. The Plant prices and quality have always been excellent; this has led to us earning more business on the back of other successful jobs. I feel we are more competitive using Kingsdown in our projects than with other suppliers.

Hi Nathan,
I ordered seven wonderful pleached hornbeam from you last year (girth 14-16cm). I need one more!

Hi Martha,

Thank you so much for being so helpful throughout this project. The yew looks fantastic.

 

Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much for the plants and delivery, all looks good and the client is absolutely ecstatic – my first big Essex job has gone well, so thanks to you.

Wonderful service – yet again – they arrived this morning.

We have used Kingsdown Nurseries for some time now and find them extremely helpful and straight forward to deal with. Friendly, professional, quality – no more to say!

Your staff are knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful, they keep you informed and are lovely to deal with.

Dear Jack,

That looks all in order please go ahead.  Thank you for your invaluable help and endless patience!

 

Friendly, very expert and professional advice – a comprehensive stock of sundries.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the gorgeous Buxus on Friday – it looks amazing out the front of the Rectory.. will send you photos.

 

Hi Richard,

Thanks very much for getting back to me so promptly and I really appreciate your helpful response …….. which confirms my high opinion of your service.

 

 

 

Thank you very much Hannah for your kindness in trying to track down these elusive plants.  Your service is as always very helpful & professional & it is a pleasure to order such good plants from you .

From the largest order to the smallest, Kingsdown is a family run business that really minds whether my clients are happy with the plants they receive. Nothing is ever too much trouble and everyone there is helpful and friendly, without exception.

Jack,

The pear trees have arrived and I couldn’t be more pleased with them. I was expecting something special and they are certainly that. Without doubt the best plants I have ever bought, and that is after thirty years of gardening!

Best regards,

 

I moved from my regular supplier to Kingsdown Nurseries a couple of years ago. I’ve never had problems with the quality of stock and the customer service and communication is first class.

Good morning Kingsdown

I just wanted to say thank you for sending me a copy of your Seasonbook.

What a great publication, very inspiring. I’ve enjoyed flicking through it several times already.

Dear Nathan

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the trees – the client is thrilled with them.

Many thanks

 

 

Hi Hannah,

Received your tulips and they look great can’t wait to see them in the spring!

Many thanks,

 

Thank you Hannah.

All arrived on schedule and lovely looking plants.

Going in now.

Regards,

 

Dear Sirs,

150 trees purchased from you in February—150 growing well—thank you—more next season!

Dear Jack

Everyone makes mistakes but it is a mark of a good company how well they deal with them and I do appreciate your swift and comprehensive response.

That wonderful brochure!  (The Seasonbook) We keep it in our living room and dip into it. It always makes us feel better just looking at it. You’re very much in our minds now and you’re at the top of the pile -the sheer quality of the brochure says that! Do pass my appreciation.

Hi Jack,

Just a quick e-mail, thanks for the plants you sent down they where excellent and I will be in touch should I need more.

Good Morning Jack,

Just a quick email to say that plants have arrived this morning all in good order and ready to go in tomorrow – Many thanks for a great service.

Good Morning Nathan,

I thought it might be nice for you to see one of my recently completed projects that you guys supplied plants for. The pdf attached shows some of the design work, before images and then completed images at the end. The client was delighted with everything and was especially pleased with the array of colour in the planting and the quality of plants provided.

Thank you and your team for your continued help, support and great service that you provide.

 

Hi Rosie

Thank you for your efficiency, it’s refreshing not to have to chase supplies.

 

 

 

Hi Rosie,

The tree is magnificent and I am really really thrilled and for your companies helpful and efficient service.

Best wishes

 

Hi Hannah,

Just a quick line to thank the nursery for your taxus baccata pyramids, the quality is fantastic and the client is really happy with them.

Hi Hannah

I’m sorry I meant to send this last week but I wanted to thank you for all the plants that you arranged to be delivered – they seemed extremely good quality and everything went really smoothly.  The client was very happy too and I think we will be doing some more planting in the next month and then the larger borders in the autumn so I will no doubt be in touch.
