Gurney's Seed and NurseryReviews of gurneys.com

5 stars great quality products

I would give NEGATIVE stars if I could!! I ordered 25 green pepper plants, which is not cheap! When I messaged them because the delivery status was still pending after being in transit or days with no water or nutrients. They said there was nothing they can do but to message them with they arrived. About a week or so later they finally arrived. Now keep in mind we are in Vermont so our gardening season is very limited to begin with. These plants were shipped at the end of May and I didn't receive them until the second week of July. When they did arrive they were about 2 inches high and dead because of lack of water and sun. Their customer service sucks!! They never wanted to help nor were they apologetic. When I asked about getting our money back because I NEVER want to purchse from them again they automatically give us a credit where I am forced to go back. OH!!! and not only was our plants dead half were banana peppers that should have been green peppers. I will go be going to Bonnie Plants as they have way better customer service and are willing to help. GURNEYS IS HORRIBLE!!!

Twice this Spring I ordered the same Grasses and Cardinal Flowers. They never grew.

Junk seed! Don’t waste your time or money purchasing anything from this ripoff company! Ruined my garden two years in a row!!! They sell old moldy seed that is worthless!!! First year ordering seed corn from them not even half the corn planted came up! This year I thought I would try the new gotta have it sweet corn and well only one third of the seed germinated! Do not order anything from this rip off company!!!

This is a follow up to my disappointment noted last year with the order of Asparagus from Gurney's. They were sickly, skinny and nothing near the other company's Bare Roots. One year later, remember you have to wait for the third year to harvest the Gurney plants are still sickly with only one or two very thin and not tall plants. Should have waited the two weeks for another order from their competitor. One Year Wasted.

We have been very unhappy with almost everything we have ordered from Gurneys. While the quality lacked overall, the peach tree was dead. They did not have in stock, so we ordered another raspberry and two blueberries to replace it, and had to pay shipping for it because it was not the exact thing that they did not have in stock and will not for another year! None of them look great, but the raspberry in particular is a pathetic 6 inch dead looking stick. We gave up and bought another one at the local nursery for less money, and it is a beautiful healthy bush. In the meantime we bought another peach tree (same one we had ordered from Gurneys and they didn't have) for $20 less than Gurneys. It is 4 feet tall with peaches on it! What you they have is not a business, it is a racket! I would have been better off taking my $300 paid to them and burned it. That way I would be out the money, but would have only had to plant things once and be ahead of the game with better and more mature plants, and not as much time wasted.

While I paid for product in February, thinking I paid everything, received final product in May. All of the sudden end of May, I get a bill same past due for more cost. This is craziest thing I have dealt with in online purchases. Paid your dumb bill, sent US Mail. Good luck, never doing business with your companies again.

Ordered Mandarin azaleas (7) on May 7th. Original delivery date was 5/15-5/29...and I was ok with that. But every day the dates get pushed back. I called and they would "rush" it. Really!? Checked this morning and my delivery date was pushed back again 5/31-6/24! I have wasted 3 weeks waiting for this poorly run mickey mouse nursery to get their act together. Cancelled my order and will look elsewhere. I suggest you do the same...LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!!
