I was very impressed with the service I received from Ashwood Nurseries. My order was acknowledged promptly and arrived within 24 hours. It was very carefully packaged and secured, the plants were well protected and full instructions on cultivation were included. The carton was solid and had not been damaged in transit. This was especially important, as I had had a number of plants from other growers delivered by Hermes and badly damaged. I would certainly use Ashwoods again and recommend the to others. The full proof, of course, will come in the Spring, when the hellebores flower!
