We requested Autumn colours for Mam?s Funeral on 10.11.23. They were absolutely beautiful, smelt divine and even had her favourite Freesia?s in as we had requested. Thank you so much. X

Thank you so much for your fabulous interpretation of our requests for my mother in law?s funeral piece. We wanted a wild natural look with some personal touches and got exactly what we asked for - it was beautiful.

Not impressed, stock of plants , trees etc not well looked after .... no refreshments, no public conveniences. Poor public service ... place is dated and really tired looking ...

We went here to buy our Christmas tree, what a lovely place. The trees were all lovely and arranged by size which is helpful as you usually have a size in mind. We were able to look around and look through trees without people following you and pressuring you to buy.When we decided on a tree, the workers couldn't have been more helpful, they took it off to get it wrapped while we went into the shop to pay. The shop was also really nice.The staff were helpful and friendly, the trees were great quality and the price was really fair. We will definitely be back in the future.Photo if tree attached. I didn't get one before decorating ?

Having lived very near to Blackfords for ten years now, and having had my hanging baskets beautifully filled each Spring by them, I have no criticism of their quality What I have always found is the abruptness and rudeness of the older members of staff, who should know better. We arrived there about 15 minutes before they were due to close on Saturday, very politely explained by the person on the gate. As we were walked in, this very rude woman from behind the counter called out, "we close in 10 minutes". How very welcoming, NOT. I also had a retail business some years ago, anyone coming in, even a minute before closing time, were welcomed and looked after, even if it took a further hour, if needed. It's called good customer service! We left after a few minutes, and as we got into the car, I spoke to the young woman on the gate who had let us in, and simply said, " what a rude woman you have behind the counter", explaining what had happened. She apologetically replied, "that's my mother who isn't the best with customers". The daughter being so pleasant should suggest her mother retires, and let's the daughter take over the business. I additionally remarked that they have now lost a customer! I don't suppose the mother could care less, as the nursery has an abundance of customers, but not me any more!!

I go here every year to purchase my plants. They are all perfectly grown and well looked after. My garden looks very colourful year after year. Staff are very accommodating.
