Gurney's Seed and NurseryReviews of gurneys.com

First time ordering from Gurneys. I ordered several fruit trees. I got the apple trees fairly quick. But the other fruit bushes and garlic took forever. Let's put it this way I just got my blueberry/blackberry/asparagus plants like yesterday. I'm in Zone 5. I ordered these plants in the 2nd week of August. We are due to get frost in less than 2 weeks. Customer service told me it takes 6-8 WEEKS to establish roots. Are you kidding me? Pretty sure its illegal to just cover stuff via "credit" in their store vs. a refund. So now I have a bunch of plants that are going to die. Also, all the ship dates kept getting pushed back everyday almost. Then things that WERE in stock were suddenly SOLD out so while waiting on one thing at one point I had like 5 things OUT of stock...that I had ordered several weeks ago. Oh and btw I STILL haven't gotten my raspberries (2 plants) also ordered at the same time. (aka been 9 weeks). Not trying to be a jerk but I know I'll have to contact them in the spring to say all my plants have died because dude I need more than 2 WEEKS for my plants to establish for WINTER. Ugh. Run far far away please. I didn't check reviews because I thought I wouldn't need to check reviews as I had heard of them before and thought they were reputable. No, you will wait WEEKS (like 3 months) and they'll all die because you won't have time to plant them.

Fraudulant business. Do not order plants or seeds here. Horrible quality. We were suckered in with a "free shipping" promotion, then sent a bill for 3x the shipping rate at a later date. Classic bait & switch.

Ordered 5 varieties of hardneck garlic. Shipping was delayed a bit due to out of stock items. But when the product arrived, the bulbs and hence the cloves were the smallest I have ever seen. Garlic cloves the size of your baby finger do not grow normal size bulbs. Company offered $20 credit (off next order). Problem order was $100+. The credit on some future order won't change the quality of the crop we will harvest next June.

3 packs of seeds.peas and carrots. Not a single sprout

RUN RUN RUN from this company!! Read the reviews, it is clear they are con artists!! After waiting for two months for the product, they cancel the order.

YOU FREAKING SHOULD "NOT" BE IN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've used Gurney's off and on for quite a number of years (never with a positive outcome); thinking that maybe they've improved their products and service. And every time I feel like a fool and should slap myself in the head! This last time it was a Canna that was SUPPOSED TO BE a Phaison and after growing for several months, it was clear that it was not! In fact it was totally different and mundane, cheaper variety. They agreed to give me credit, not return $, so I ordered a little pH tester; you know, the kind you insert into the moistened soil and get a pH reading. The site description says: "Just place the prongs of your pH tester in soil sample, wait 60 seconds and read the pH measurement on the meter." Well, I got this little piece of garbage made where you might think it would be, and instructions that required you to dig the soil, totally clean the soil, put the soil in a container, add water, submerge meter probes completely into the soil, pack the soil around the probes then wait one minute. Really?? I called to return this meter, got "overseas" customer support person who could not understand why I was returning it (language barrier), but eventually agreed to taking the return at my cost for shipping. Hardly worth the effort and cost. The pH analyzer is going directly into the trash. NEVER AGAIN DO BUSINESS WITH GURNEYS!!!

They sent me a tiny damaged plant where they clearly pruned most of it to use it to propagate. It was also covered in moss growth and head dead branches all over it. I paid around $70 for two honeysuckles that came in 4 inch posts that had clearly every single branch amputated. Many of what remained were dead. This is just pathetic
