Gardening direct are usually brilliant
Gardening direct are usually brilliant, however the courier they use is useless as the parcels which contained hanging baskets and has an arrow on the box saying which way up to place it was totally ignored! Baskets were sideways and peat was all loose in the boxes, i suggest changing couriers!
