I ordered two plants that looked amazing and healthy upon arrival. They were packaged perfectly, no damage or distress, and were shipped right on schedule. I am beyond impressed with my first order from Almost Eden and will definitely be ordering again!

It's Saturday 5/12/2017, I placed the order before they opened and I placed my order the phone method and spoke with John himself after the hours of operation were open and right away you can tell exactly what type of business this is. Honestly 5 stars is not enough for this man and his work, atleast so far I haven't received the plants but he informed me they would ship out on Tuesday. To better plan for the time to receive them. Communication with the buyer is over the top. I'll have to leave another 5 star review with photos of the plants. Update: 5/30/2017 I've not had time to update here but later is better than never. I received the package 5/17/2017 as expected after getting what seemed like a personal phone call that John had made to reach out to me. Normally, I place an order and have to track it per the tracking number sent in an email. John called me and informed me he was in the middle of working on my order and that I should expect tracking information in my email shortly. (Sure enough I did.) He also called to inform me about few things regarding shipping to my area and provided some hindsight which I would not have thought of if it wasn't for him upon receiving the plants. I ordered 3 plants pictured below, 1 Dessert King Fig tree, 1 Sweet Almond Verbena, and 1 Anna's Choice Yaupon Holly. All plants shipped were perfectly packaged, extremely established, and perfectly groomed for travel. 5 Stars does not do justice for this man's work in care for his plants. I wouldn't even consider it care, I would call this a passion. You can definitely tell in his work. I also received an email with a creed which i wasn't aware of and is amazing to live by. I'll leave this as a surprise in case it's not meant to be shared unless given to by John. My experience with this purchase was phenomenal to say the least. It could be my luck or not since I haven't seen anything less than 5 stars.

This nursery is bursting with a dizzying variety of plants. It absolutely lives upto its name with the sight of hundreds of beautiful butterflies, the sound of a thousand bees and the rainbow of colors everywhere you look! The owner John is sweet. kind and accommodating. His horticultural knowledge is amazing! Had the pleasure of meeting his granddaughter who helped me select the best plants for my garden. The whole garden reminded me of my happy childhood amidst the gardens of my grandfather. Highly recommend this place😊

Ordered several plants last week and I am just so impressed in how well packaged they all arrived. Every single plant arrived in beautiful condition, green, healthy and even the soil was still a bit damp. I’m very impressed with this nursery and I can’t wait to order more from them in the future. You can tell they care about the happiness of their plants and their customers.
