Dear Sue
Order received yesterday with thanks. What a brilliant service, I only ordered them on Sunday and they turned up on Wednesday. The plants were of the highest quality. I wish that I lived nearer to the nursery, but in a way I'm glad I don't because I would always be in there spending money. 
Thanks again for the wonderful plants and excellent service
Kind Regards

The hamper was simply wonderful and I was absolutely delighted with the presentation/ contents (I was lucky enough to visit my friend just after it arrived and they were thrilled with their gift!). I shall be happy to buy the same again for Christmas 07 and will not hesitate to recommend the DoCN to all my friends.

Thank You, I received yesterday my Camelia- Elsie Jury, very well packed, looking very healthy, so I do hope I am able to see it in flower next year in the spring, as you know I am going to put it into a container to keep in the carport, I presume I can put it in the container now.
I would like to thankyou very much for all the trouble you have taken, and I am a very satisfied customer, I hope very much that one day I will be able to come to see your nursery, I know time is getting short, but I can still hope.
King regards to all concerned, and a big thankyou to you all.  Edna Nimmo

Dear Sue
I just want to say a huge thank you and you team for the professional service I received from you last week. My order was quite late but you managed to get the birthday present out in time, even calling me as I had managed to give you the incorrect address. The Acer arrived in perfect condition, well packaged and with a lovely touch of Happy Birthday stickers on the packaging. Apparently the Acer is stunning and the recipient is thrilled!

I have been disappointed in the past when ordering flowers/plants- poor packaging,quality etc, so thank you once again and I will certainly be using and recommending your services!

Many thanks
Yours sincerely

Dear Sue,
My plants have arrived looking healthy and beautiful! I was pleasantly surprised to see their relative maturity - far better value for money than many other suppliers. Many thanks. They were planted today so I am crossing my fingers and hoping they take to their new environment.

Just a quick note to thank you for persevering with the delivery of the cotinus on Friday. It had been delivered to the house by the time I got home and my daughter had helped unload etc.
It was successfully (we hope!) replanted yesterday and looks super. Longing to see how it settles in and looking forward to the first flowering.
Many thanks again for all your help.
Kind regards.

Dear Sue,
My tree arrived yesterday! I just want to say thank you so much to everybody at the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery for their efforts in getting this tree to me - it was well worth the wait.
Now it is up to me and my husband to make sure it is well watered and nurtured over the next few months, particularly in view of the current very hot dry weather. Our water butt has been empty for over a month now, so I hope it doesn't mind tap water.
With best wishes and very many thanks,
Norma Simpson
