I had a few questions and they responded right away. My order of 5 crinum and 3 amaryllis bulbs arrived on time and were very large and healthy. I would definitely order from this company again.

Quality is excellent, shipping was fast and communication good. Recommended.

We had an issue trying to support a fundraiser but Ingrid went above and beyond to resolve the questions, make sure the order was filled promptly and followed up to check on the satisfaction. Touch of Nature will stay at the top of our list based on this experience.

Received confirmation of order and shipment/tracking information. Order arrived as scheduled and as promised. Bulbs looked good. They are in the ground and can't wait to see the results this spring. Thanks for a great experience!

These peonies look as good or better than one I bought from Whites. There was no difference in quality, only the price. I received 5 peonies from Touch of Nature for the price I paid for 1, from the other guy. Customer service is tops. You need to place an order from these guys! Awesome deals & quality bulbs.

Positive am0ke (1 review) On June 9, 2008, am0ke Pickens, SC wrote: I was extremely pleased with this vendor! I've been relandscaping our whole property since we bought it and we've had the best luck with the plants we received from Touch of Nature. Well over 95% of the 80 hostas we bought had sprouted leaves after a week and are doing wonderfully after 3 weeks. We also purchased several hundred bulbs from them as well. They provided detailed tracking/shipping info via email & I was well pleased with their product.

Prices at Touch of Nature for items that I am interested in are unbeatable. I tend to buy things in quantity so, I really look at prices everywhere.

Prompt and thorough responses to emails - prompt and careful shipping (including emails regarding ship date and tracking #) - HUGE plump tuberose clusters. Will add to this feedback come fall when I will be able to see how they've done. On November 18th, 2008, Chantell added the following: 11-18-08 Happy to add I enjoyed MANY blooms from this order - which for the first year being planted says much!! Will not hesitate to order from again!!! GREAT job!! Positive texasbelle (2 reviews) On May 23, 2008, texasbelle Port Lavaca, TX (Zone 9b) wrote: I received my first order from Touch of Nature yesterday. I ordered "clearance" bulbs and fully expected to receive clearance bulbs (small, shriveled, mostly papery outer skins)......what a pleasant surprise when I opened the box.....every bulb was much larger than described and fresh. Talk about exceeding expectations. I haven't found bulbs in my local nurseries that compare to these.....can't wait to order some "regular" items since their sale items are so good!!!!! Positive GmaCin (1 review) On May 16, 2008, GmaCin Sibley, MO (Zone 5b) wrote: I had a terrible experience last year with a mail order catalog company so I was extremely hesitant to order from another company. But after I read the positive comments regarding Touch of Nature I decided to place an order with them. IT WAS A WONDERFUL experience! I received email confirmation of my order and 1 week later I received the order. My credit card was not charged until after I received my order. The daylilies are healthy and after being in the ground for just under 2 weeks are already through the ground and looking great. Thank you so much! Positive massnorth (4 reviews) On May 3, 2008, massnorth Topsfield, MA (Zone 6a) wrote: Ordered a bushel of daylilies in March, and had to call a week or so after when I realized I hadn't received notification that they'd shipped. Obviously a mixup, but the gentleman I talked to was very apologetic, and my order shipped the same day and arrived the following day (I think they must have sent it overnight). Bareroot daylilies have been in the ground a few weeks now, and you can practically hear them growing.

They are very worthy to be rated in the top 30. Negative MCward (1 review) On January 4, 2008, MCward Chester, NY wrote: Based on the positive reviews at this website I chose Touch of Natures bulb fundraiser to raise money for our schools' Outdoor Learning Area. The bulbs received were very small, significantly smaller than the same bulbs they sell in their catalogue and smaller in some cases than that stated on the package. Some of the bulbs were no good. I contacted them and tried to obtain larger bulbs but they refused. I had no choice but to send back the bulbs and refund back all the checks that people had made. It was an embarrassment, a waste of time and a fundraising opportunity lost. Positive oldrose1 (1 review) On December 10, 2007, oldrose1 Idaho Falls, ID wrote: I ordered 10 Amaryllis at $2.50 per bulb. and 10 Erlicheer daffodils. I was told when the Amaryllis were shipped and given a tracking #. Nothing on the daffodils. The amaryllis arrived in good shape and bigger than expected. The box was label box one of two. Nothing else was heard on the daffodils. So I wrote and found out they had tried to reach me (lost in cyberspace? ) and thengiven a tracking number. They had been out of the Erlicheer at the warehouse, and with the holiday (Thanksgiving) etc were just late. I was given advice on how to coax a bud from some of the Amaryliss. I then heard about their vendor specials, and wanted to order several small bulbs for $4-6 per 100, but only if my daffs came-which they did-and if the new bulbs were in the ware house. I wanted them right away. The daffodils came-again, nice plump bulbs, and I ordered the the other small bulbs. They were here very quickly-and I was able to get them in the pots I was squirreling away ere there and ever protected place I could find here in zone 4. Positive vicm2 (1 review) On November 18, 2007, vicm2 Crestview, FL wrote: Wonderful healthy items delivered. This company kept in touch and kept me updated on the status of my order. I have since bought from here again and will contunue to do so. This is a business I have recommended to others!

Pricing and customer service was excellent and Ingrid answered my multiple emails w/in 24 hours of my sending them. The peony roots arrived within the week and looked healthy. I planted them immediately and hopefully they will do well. Overall, a very positive experience with this company.

You certainly get what you pay for, small dried up rhizomes. BUT...you can't beat the price and the selection was good. Jackie On November 9th, 2007, jackieshar changed the rating from negative to positive and added the following: it was very hot here when they came so I potted them up in 4 inch pots....they are showing new growth and I am putting them in the ground. . they appear to be doing very well as Bleek explained they would. I would buy again ... with a new understanding that they will grow just fine.....JA Positive Lazydaisy153 (3 reviews) On June 12, 2007, Lazydaisy153 Lilburn, GA wrote: This was a very pleasant transaction.

I showed up in person to pick up my order. I spent just as much time chatting and viewing his extensive hosta collection as I did taking care of picking up my order. Beautiful yard, great plants and an exceptional gardener! Don't hesitate to buy or to visit in person. :) Positive BruMeta (13 reviews) On June 9, 2007, BruMeta Livingston Manor, NY wrote: Most impressed with quality and speedy delivery.

Many companies have very high shipping to Alaska, but this was acceptable. Now, this spring, my garden is wonderful. The bulbs are strong and in full bloom. I will order again this fall Positive scully931 (9 reviews) On May 9, 2007, scully931 Pittsburgh, PA wrote: I just completed a fundraiser from Touch of Nature. I was skeptical, having never dealt with the company before. However, they offered a good return and the plants were priced well. (I hate fundraisers where the least expensive item is over twenty dollars.) The orders arrived quickly and look very good! This was an easy, pleasant transaction and I will certainly consider purchasing from Touch of Nature for my personal use in the future.

Positive jmcarolina (8 reviews) On April 1, 2007, jmcarolina Greenville, SC wrote: I ordered several varieties of daffodils from this company in the fall of 2006 and planted them in November of that year. They shipped at the proper planting time for this zone. I have to say that planting bulbs is not one of my favorite gardening chores and trying to plant them at the proper depth in our clay soil is a pain! I was hardly accurate in the depth on many of the bulbs I planted. However, the proof is in the pudding and they all bloomed and put on a beautiful display over the past 2 months. I credit that to great bulbs, not great planting! Positive planta_gardener (3 reviews) On March 29, 2007, planta_gardener Greenwood, AR wrote: I ordered three varieties of canna. Rhizomes came in great shape, packed in plastic bags with soil. They were really large too. Warning which should be directed to customers" bags should be opened immediately or made holes in, because rhizomes cannot respirate! Anyway, I will buy there again!.

I found this site and the prices were outstanding. Unfortunately for me the bulbs I really wanted were sold out. Next year I'll be ready!!! As an afterthought I decided to buy some of the smaller Amaryllis Red Lion. At $2.00 a piece how could I go wrong? The bulbs arrrived immediately and looked great with the exception of two bulbs. The bulbs now have flower stalks and will soon bloom. I was so impressed with their performance I recently place another order. Excellent customer service and I highly recommend them to all.
