This was my first time ordering plants online and I was a bit nervous about it. I ordered a total of 10 plants from Hirt’s. The package arrived today, and I could not be more pleased! The packaging was phenomenal. I was concerned, because the USPS dented the box quite a bit, but I had little reason to worry. Each plant was packed with such care. The only one that looks like it spent a week traveling across-country is the African violet and I am confident it will recover well. Everything else looks amazing. Thank you, Hirt’s, for your attention to detail and care!

Wow! I am impressed how quickly my plant arrived and how carefully packed it was! Being delivered to Massachusetts in January isn’t an easy thing but the plant was packed with heat packs and safely placed in the box with thick wrap. Looks great!

This is the plant right out of the box. So green and gorgeous! I think I’ve found my new favorite seller. Every plant I’ve ordered from here has arrived looking fantastic. I’ve tried to order live plants from several other sellers on Etsy and none survived the trip. So happy I’ve finally found a place to purchase plants from online that I can rely on.

The plants were shipped out quickly and arrived within a week. Both plants were packaged securely and efficiently, and they held up well in transit. So far, they’re doing fine in their new pots! The parlor palm is in significantly better shape than the one I bought from The S*ll last year and was much more reasonably priced. I’ve already ordered more plants from this shop!
