Comments regarding ECOLAGE

I've ordered from Ecolage 3 times and the plants I get from them are always in perfect condition when they arrive--definitely the best performance of any of the places I've ordered larger size plants from.

Nice, large plants, green leaves, and fast shipping. One plant was a Ming Palm, with the softest, green healthy foliage I've ever seen.

Dealing with this company has been a true pleasure. I am still relatively new to gardening, but I have been blown away by their website and selection.

I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THE LAST COMMENT LEFT BY "sylvainyang" SHOULD NOT GO DOWN AS BEING RECORDED AS A NEGATIVE TOWARD ECOLAGE!!!

Rules are rules as far as these feedbacks go, but leaving a negative feedback for a company located in Louisiana just days after the most devastating hurricane in history first hit the state is just so incredibly uncalled for and out-of-line, that I ask those of you in charge of the ratings to please remove it from Ecolage's feedback. The company had a grand total of ZERO negatives prior to this. Be assured that I have no ties to Ecolage, but I am merely an American with a heart and common sense. I urge others who read these comments to follow me in this effort.

sylvainyang...Being in Oklahoma, I'm sure you had to be aware of the complete devastation from the hurricane. How could you possibly be heartless enough to leave a comment like that just days after the hurricane? At a time like this, who even cares about plants?! I mean were all plant lovers here, but in the big picture the only thing that is important is saving people. You complain that you couldn't get through to the company and they didn't get to you...how would you have any idea if they had been hit hard by the storm, or if they had power, phones, internet, and if all of the workers were safe? I pray for you.

Others...please join me in this effort. Thanks!

I left messages to this company several times, there is never nobody call me back. obviously they did not want my business and if I purchased any thing from them got a problem, they will be hard to get a hold of

[Changed from negative to neutral.]

Even with the excellent ratings for this company I thought I was taking a chance ordering any plant that would spend 3 days in a box at this time of the year but... 'just had to have it'.
I could not be more pleased with the 'mystery' Gardenia I recently received from Ecolage. They sent me a healthy,
bushy 2' plant.
Email confirmation, friendly and immediate upon order, and so well packaged that even though the delivery person walked up my drive with the box upside down not a single leaf was damaged. Can't hardly wait to order more from them. They have a fantastic selection.

i recently ordered an acca sellowiana and two stromanthe sanguinea from ecolage. this was my first plant mail-order experience in roughly 5 yrs. i cant say enough good about this company. i ordered online on monday-received confirmation email right away. the next day received email on delivery confirming shipment on wednesday for a friday delivery. came on time friday and was packed to perfection. not a leaf out of place. i looked up musella lasiocarpa on dg to find who carried them and was relieved to see ecolage's name. i ordered it monday and same routine. it is about 4' tall and perfect, perfect! steven is also wonderful re: responding to emails promptly. i can't recommend them highly enough! they certainly havent seen the last of me! debi

I ordered a 3 gallon Murraya paniculata. It arrived in beautiful condition. It was very well packaged. It was on time. I will definitely order from them again.

Great communication;I knew exactly when to be home for plant arrival which is very important in this hot weather.
Fantastic packing;not one bit of damage or stress.I was not sure I should order plants in such hot weather
Great looking plants.
In all a very positive experience.Thank you

The plants arrived on time as promised, they were in perfect shape, no damage or signs of stress. They were larger than expected (especially when ordering from the Internet). Very happy with the purchase, will be ordering more plants in the future and will recommend to all my friends and family.

Working with Steven at Ecolage was a great experience. He worked hard to find me the Crape Myrtle I was looking for and kept me informed all along the way. The shippping process was fast and they did everything they could to insure I received it in great shape!!! Steven and the gang are terrific with any and all questions that you have and will go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied!!!

I will definitely be doing more business with Ecolage in the future because of the way I was treated with true professionalism. They have great plants and great service. Do I need to say anything else?

A week ago I received a bush from Ecolage but it was damaged in shipping... I called the company and was treated very warmly and professionally. They sent a replacement bush in less than a week at no charge to me!
Service like this with no haggling is extemely rare today!
I also am VERY IMPRESSED by the health, beauty,and size of the plant I received.
I HIGHLY recommend Ecolage!! Buy with confidence!

I have placed several orders with ecolage this year after reading about them on this website. I was highly satisfied with their plants (big and healthy) and their service (very friendly and informative on the phone) and their packaging was outstanding. I plan to do more business with them this fall.

I ordered two plants from this company and they were in absolutely excellent condition. Very large and healthy.

This is a wonderful mail order company. The plants arrived right on time, in perfect condition and the knockout roses still had blooms on! The excellent personal service I received from the staff made this my first choice for mail order plants!!! I ordered my second dutchman's pipe to give as a gift and my friend was thrilled with the unusual heirloom plant.
In today's marketplace, it is great to find a mail order company who delivers just as promised....thanks, myra starkey

I just received my first order yesterday and was more than happy. In fact - I already placed my second order today. I ordered three different plants on my first order and all three were in excellent condition when they arrived. There was not a leaf or a bloom out of place.

Wow! I have been saving articles and photos from magazines for 20 yrs (mostly Southern Living), and now I have a yard that can use many of these plants. My local garden centers only carry plants for the mass market, so I ordered Possum Haw, Montrose Vitex, Grancy Greybeard, Harlequin Glorybower, and a vine from Ecolage. The plants arrived in great shape -- they really do know how to package them beautifully. They are healthy, newly in the ground, and happy. Thank you Ecolage for having these glorious plants!

Customer service was exceptional!! Very pleased with the quality of plants and especially the shipping. Not a leaf was harmed during shipment. Staff is very friendly!

The Bamboo I ordered arrived in beautiful shape, in recyclable packaging, exactly when promised and at a great price.
I can't wait to order again.

I order plants from a number of different websites but Ecolage is by far the best. I cannot believe the size of the rangoon creepers I received today. It would normally take several growing seasons to have a rangoon creeper this size. Also, Ecolage could have shipped crystal in that package. The plants were well protected for the journey. Steven was very helpful and quickly responded to my e-mail questions about planting as well. I cannot wait to see this nursery in person one day!

I am pleased and excited with the two Red Mulberry trees I ordered from Ecolage. The service is exceptional and friendly. The plants are in great shape and were shipped to me quickly. My compliments and accolades to the people at Ecolage.

I purchased two quinces and a dwarf japanese cedar a few months ago. I was surprised by the large box that arrived. I was even more surprised by the large size of the plants I received. The plants were very well packaged and very healthy. The quinces were blooming. This is the first time I have received such large sized plants and such healthy plants when ordering through the mail. I thought the shipping seemed a little high when I placed the order - but when I saw how they carefully packaged each plant, not to mention the weight of the box, it was more than fair. I would not hesitate to order from this company again.

I just received my order for some fairly large plants which I thought would be difficult to pack. No problem, the packing was perfect and the plants are beautiful. The cestrum nocturnum was blooming!

I ordered several crepe myrtles that were on sale last fall. They were packed well and survived the best efforts of the shipper to squash them. All four (which arrived dormant and were stored in a cool place for the winter) have begun sprouting and look in good shape.

The order was processed quickly and the plants were a good value. I would do business with this firm again.

Ordered several three gallon size plants, all of them were lush and healthy, and arrived in great condition-- exactly when promised. I would definitely recommend Ecolage for their high quality plants and excellent customer service.

I have just recieved a great dwarf gardenia from Ecolage. It was packaged perfectly for shipping,no damage at all. Steve was great at accommodating my shipping dates. A good first time experience,I will being doing future buisness with them.

I can hardly explain how excited I was when I received my order from Ecolage. The box was so tall, I thought it was surely a very "creative" packing job. What I found inside was a 2 foot tall passion flower vine worth twice what I paid for it, and another smaller but very healthy vine. They were still moist and packed with extreme care! They look better than some of the plants I've had for 2 years! I can't wait to order from them again and I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone else!

I ordered some persian shields for my courtyard, and Ecolage sent some beautiful specimens. They even helped me choose the right number for the size space and got me a lower price. Excellent company!

I ordered my plants from Ecolage on March 19. They kept me posted on the status of my order, and it arrived today -- exactly when they had said it would. They plants are just perfect; in fact they are bigger than I would ever have imagined. The packaging was also perfect; not a twig was out of place. I have recommended them to all my gardening friends. I will definitely be ordering from them again.

I ordered 6 blueberry plants in March of this year. Unfortunately I was sick with the flu when they arrived and had to leave them in their box on the doorstep where the delivery man left them. After 5 days I was just able to open the box and was absolutely amazed at their condition! I can't praise Ecolage enough for the great care they took in packaging each plant! They couldn't be in any better condition than if I had picked them up at the nursery in person! I can only hope to raise them with the same obvious care that they took!

They may not be the cheapest, but they have to be the best!

I recently ordered from Ecolage for the first time and received my order today....a Red Abyssinian Banana ,Ensete ventricosum ‘Maurelii’. I am very impressed! The plant was extremely well packed,arrived in excellent condition, and is even bigger than I had hoped for. The leaves are huge and the plant is very healthy looking. Steven was very helpful in answering all of my questions quickly and went out of his way to help. This is by far the best buying experience I've ever had from any online nursery. The plant and the customer service were both outstanding!

I am deligheted with my order with Ecolage. (I ordered 8 lady Bank's roses) I was kept informed about the status of my order all the way, and was asked to let them know how were the plants doing on their arrival in my home. Well, when they arrived they were very healthy because Ecolage took great care in the packaging, therefore the stress on the plants was minimal. Also, I was not sure what to do when they arrived (as to take them out of their plastic bag and water them right away or what). I email Ecolage and I got an answer in the next half hour.... This is a great nursery: not only their plants are healthy and beautiful, but their service is A++.

I placed an order online Sunday evening. THEN, of course, saw one more plant I HAD to have. Emailed them asking if they could add it on to the just placed order. Got a prompt reply early Monday morning saying, "Done!"

How pleasant!

I just received my banana shrub, pineapple guava, sweet olive and gardenia plants and I can't be more thrilled! Strong and healthy with beautiful roots, HUGE and ready to go! They weren't dried out and don't appear the least bit shocked. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's ordered online only to receive a very rude (and expensive) surprise upon opening the box...If it even shows up, that is! Not so here. Ecolage is one of the best I've ever bought from online, not only product but customer service wise, as well.

But the SIZE! I've paid more for 4" pots, and these are bursting out of gallon containers. I know sometimes we feel we have to pay more in order to acquire unusual and hard to find specimens, but *why*? I highly recommend this company and will soon be a repeat customer.

My plants arrived in fabulous condition and were much bigger and healthier than I expected. I purchase a lot of mail order plants and this company exceeded my expectations. I fully recommend.

What a delight-FULL experience !!!
Can I say more ... Yes, every-thing was perfect ... thanks to Steven Abrahams ... and his delivery of 3 "Pink Perfection Camillias" to Sardis, Ms. expediciously and in Perfect Condition. You, Steve, and your Company, are TRULY APPRECIATED! kenju's rhodesian ridgebacks - judith uhl

I am a first time customer with ecolage. I just ordered a camellia for my dad's birthday. The product and the service were second to none. I received an email shortly after placing the order which included an expected arrival date. The order arrived as promised and the plant was beautiful. I am now a lifelong customer!

Excellent service, careful packaging, and great plants at reasonable prices - three reasons I'll be returning to their website in the future. "Thank You!" to the folks at ECOLAGE for such fine attention to detail in all aspects of their business.

I ordered 6 azaleas that arrived in great condition exactly when Steven said they would. The email communication was great and I appreciated and enjoyed doing business with this company. I will order from them again.

I ordered over $150 worth of plants. I was e-mailed as to their delivery date. Steve Abrahams e-mailed me again to let me know that some of the plants I had ordered were still in hibernation, and would appear to be dead, which was good to know. The plants arrived on schedule, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the plants had budded enroute. I planted them, and they have grown vigorously. The last plant, a crepe myrtle budded this past Saturday. Every twig on it budded. I am very pleased with my results and will continue to do business with this company.
