Great looking Bush!

I ordered 2 dwarf smoke bushes and they arrived beautiful and healthy!

excellent plants

The emerald petite arborvitae were very healthy and larger than expected. I received the plants pretty fast and in good state. Very happy with the purchase

Beautiful plants nicely packaged.

Smokebush shrub gift for best friend.

My friend lives quite far from me and I sent her a dwarf Smokebush as a birthday present present and living reminder of our friendship. She took a picture because her and her husband said how beautiful, healthy, great condition it arrived in. They will be planting it soon, I trust it’s going to do well, and will be ordering from you again n the future. Thank you, and such a pleasure dealing with a good company!

Thank you so much, Joanne! What a thoughtful and beautiful gift for your friend—and we’re so happy to hear it arrived in great shape and made such a good impression. Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for trusting us with such a meaningful gesture, and we can’t wait to help you again in the future!

Snow Fountains® Weeping Cherry Tree

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review, Shannon! We're glad you're happy with your tree! 😊

Looking Good!

I’ve wanted this plant for awhile. I ordered one for spring arrival from another source. I received a tiny, starter plant which I promptly planted. It did not survive a week. My order from Almanac Planting Co. arrived, and I had a nice plant with a well developed root system. Kept it cool in the shade as we were on the tail end of a heat wave. It is now planted and looks great.

Better than Year Old Plants

Received a nice, well formed shrub to replace one I lost over winter. I had two small shrubs on each side of my walkway. One didn’t make it through the winter. When I saw that Almanac had these, I immediately ordered one to replace the one I lost. Now, I have a problem. The one I received from Almanac looks so much fuller and nicer than the one that has been in for a year, that now I think I need to order another one.

Thanks so much, Peggy — not just for this review, but for all three you left us! We really appreciate you taking the time.

So glad the new Anna’s Magic Ball® arrived looking so full and healthy — and yep, that’s a good “problem” to have 😄 Sometimes the fresh ones just show off a little more!

If you decide to grab a second to even things out, we’ve got you covered. Thanks again for supporting our little farm!

Like Going to the Garden Center

I have decided that opening a box from Almanac Planting Co. is like getting a plant from the nursery. My Aralia Sun King is gorgeous and huge! No starter plant here. As good or better as I would gotten from the garden center. Excellent packaging, quick delivery.

So impressed!

I ordered three of these plants and I can’t believe how promptly they arrived and how carefully they were packaged. The plants are healthy and in great condition. I highly recommend!

Thanks so much for the kind review, Lisa! We’re so glad your Velveteeny™ Smokebushes arrived quickly, safely, and in great shape. It means a lot to hear you were impressed—and we truly appreciate the recommendation!

BEST Customer Service Experience

We lost our beloved 20 year old Ragdoll cat at the end of June and wanted to plant something special in her memory. Her name was ‘Kismitt’ and I was elated when I found this beautiful Echinacea variety called ‘Kismet’. It couldn’t be any more perfect. I reached out to customer service because I had a few questions regarding shipping. Not only did I receive an email response from Justin, but he followed up by calling me on the phone! He was extremely sympathetic and compassionate regarding the loss of our cat and offered much appreciated comforting words of empathy. Never have I ever had a Company reach out like that before and it brought tears to my eyes.
It has been unseasonably hot and humid here in the northeast so we waited a few days to plant our Kismet echinacea plant outdoors. I hope it continues to thrive and rebloom every year to remind us of our beautiful ‘Kismitt’…and the outstanding customer service we received from the team at Almanac Planting.

Thank you so much for this deeply heartfelt review, Chris. We’re honored that you chose to plant Kismet Echinacea in memory of your beloved Kismitt—it’s a truly beautiful way to keep her spirit blooming year after year. It means so much to us that our interaction brought comfort during such a tender time.

We're wishing your new plant strength, beauty, and many seasons of vibrant blooms ahead—and we’ll be thinking of Kismitt every time we see that variety. Thank you again for trusting us with something so meaningful.

Excellent health, excellent customer service

Really adore the Keepsake mountain laurel I received from Almanac planting. The plants arrived with healthy, clean leaves and stems. The box it was shipped in didn't survive the ground shipping well, but the plants were undamaged. So happy about that! At first, I thought the root ball was not compact or well formed, but Almanac told me these particular plants have a more thready root system. They have been planted for a few weeks now and are thriving. They weathered a horrible bout of flooding on top of record-breaking heat. These plants are going to be special focal points in my garden for a long time. Thanks, Almanac, for helping me learn how to be a better gardener.

Thanks so much for your feedback, Laine—we’re really glad to hear your Keepsake Mountain Laurel arrived healthy and undamaged, even after a bit of a rough journey in transit. That’s always great news.

We appreciate your note about the root ball size. This plant was shipped in a 2-gallon pot, and while it may not have looked as densely rooted as some other species, that’s actually normal for mountain laurel. They naturally have finer, less aggressive root systems that don’t form compact soil balls like faster-growing or fibrous-rooted plants. We also regularly trim top growth to encourage strong underground development and reduce transplant stress.

We totally understand your expectations and appreciate the thoughtful review. If you have any questions about helping it settle in or thrive long-term, we’re always here to help.
