Testimonials

What do our customers think?

A FIRST CLASS EXEMPLARY SERVICE

‘An absolutely first class exemplary service. Professional , knowledgable and highly responsive. Everything was done to a high standard. From design to execution – this is a service that could not have been bettered. I would unhesitatingly recommend Elis and the staff. Unusually they could have sold us more expensive specimens but took the time to drill down on our garden design. They considered every aspect of the design and recommended a less expensive alternative as being better for the overall impact. We very much appreciated being the recipient of honest expert advice. It’s a rare commodity.’

-Fiona Evans, April 2026

EXPERT KNOWLEDGE & ADVICE

‘We wanted to change the front garden and to make sure the new plants would thrive in the location and soil. We needed expert knowledge & advice and got that in spade loads from Amy. Fantastic experience from initial contact through to the planting up by Sam & his crew. The result is just what we wanted.’

-Mike, April 2026

A FLAWLESS EXPERIENCE

‘What an amazing place! I thought it was unusual needing to book an appointment but all was clear as I arrived as the experience is tailored to each customer’s needs. I was escorted from my car and offered tea or coffee then spent 2 hours wandering around viewing some incredible plants. It was like walking around Kew Gardens but with the option of buying any of the exhibits. There is a wonderful selection of trees and shrubs with very knowledgeable and experienced people on hand ready to assist. The whole experience including delivery was flawless and my garden is all the better for that visit. Highly recommended!’

-Paul Snoz, March 2026

IMPECCABLE SERVICE

-Joe Murray, March 2026

CREATIVE PRUNING

COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY

‘From the very first appointment, Architectural Plants completely blew me away. The level of knowledge, transparency, and professionalism was outstanding from the start. The planning and advice were clear, honest, and tailored exactly to the space, with no pressure and no hidden surprises. When it came to delivery and planting, the team went well above expectations. They were all incredibly careful, respectful of the property, and meticulous in ensuring there was no mess or damage at any stage. I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly, highly recommend.’

EVERYTHING WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR

‘Thank you AP for hosting the wedding of our dreams! Absolutely cannot fault the staff (special shoutout to Sada), everyone was so accommodating. The location and venue are beautiful, unique, and everything we could have asked for. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you AP.’

-Ellie Moore, October 2025

COMPLIMENTS FROM OUR NEIGHBOURS

‘We turned up at Architectural Plants with a photo of our small and sad looking seaside front garden – basically weeds and gravel. The team were so friendly with no pressure. We chatted with Elis who visited and then drew up a plan. Much excitement on the day as all these amazing plants that we had individually selected arrived. Sam and the two other guys (sorry can’t remember your names) made short work of the planting – and wow! It looked amazing but as if it all belonged. Beyond what we could have hoped for. We’ve had lots of compliments from neighbours and passersby. Already planning something for the back garden so we can use them again. We absolutely love it!’

-Linda Kidby, August 2025

A REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE PLACE

‘We had our wedding here this summer (25); it’s a wonderful venue, and the event manager, Sada, was fantastic. It is a really beautiful and unique place.’

-Steve O’Neil, August 2025

EXCELLENT HIRED OLIVES FOR OUR WEDDING

‘We hired a selection of different sized olive trees for our wedding and couldn’t be happier. The trees looked wonderful in and around our marquee. The communication when selecting the trees was excellent and they were even able to offer a delivery service which certainly helped given that a couple of the trees were 8 foot tall. The whole team were extremely friendly. We would definitely recommend if you are looking to hire trees or plants.’

-Charlotte Hewitt-Dedman, July 2025

AN AMAZING SPACE FOR OUR WEDDING

‘Thank you to Architectural Plants for an unbelievable wedding day. We are so so glad we chose AP as our wedding venue! Sada and the team created an amazing space for our Italian themed wedding! I’m so sorry for not remembering the other individuals names but they deserve a special shout, as they worked incredibly hard all day, considering the storm that unexpectedly hit us! Sada runs such a tight ship to make sure everything runs smoothly, couldn’t have felt safer in her hands. Beautiful space for a unique and unforgettable wedding.’

-Jodie & Josh Winduss, July 2025

STUNNING LOCATION FOR OUR WEDDING

‘We chose this stunning location for our wedding and it was the best decision we ever made – so unique!’

-Jodie R, July 2025

A WONDERFUL PLACE

‘We visited this wonderful place out of curiosity. What an amazing place. Although some plants were probably a bit big for my car I managed to buy one that did fit. They make you very welcome here with coffee and plant of information. I would visit again it’s just beautiful.’

-Maggie Ricks, April 2025

-Michael Naish, March 2025

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE

-Justin, March 2025

MY ORDER REALLY STOOD OUT

‘I’ve recently been executing a new garden plan at home and have ordered a lot of plants online. My order from here really stood out, fantastically packaged and super healthy, a really good size for the pot. Couldn’t have been happier with the order. Great Comms too. Wish I was more local to come and have a look at the bigger specimens!’

-Katie Grunta, March 2025

ARCHITECTURAL PLANTS IS MY HAPPY PLACE

‘We have worked with Guy, Sophie and the team for many years, not only is the service they provide incredibly professional, they are also beyond helpful, with the best selection of plants. Visiting Architectural Plants Ltd is my happy place!’

-Karen McClure, Feb 2025

THE VERY BEST SERVICE AND PLANT CHOICE

‘From first contact through the designing stage with Amy and the team it’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with Architectural Plants. They’ve just finished planting today and all the guys were very professional and their attention to detail and pride in their work were obvious to see. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the very best service and plant choice.’

-Mike Knivett, Dec 2024

GREEN HEAVEN

‘Glorious place. It’s the equivalent of Willy Wonka but for plants. Green heaven. From the Cartwheel tree to a Sugar Plum tree, they can make a hawthorn magically. This is the tops. You want the best, mindblowing inspiration and good advice… this is it!’

-DM, June 2024

IMMENSE NURSERY

‘Immense nursery, wonderfully run and kept. As much or as little consultancy as you need.’

-Matt Weekes, April 2024

A TOTAL PLEASURE

‘It was a total pleasure dealing with AP; with the lovely and knowledgeable garden designer Debbie and with the whole planting team who were wonderful – professional, and courteous. The trees are really good specimens and have transformed our garden. Thank you.’

-William Venables, Jan 2024

NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE

‘We approached Architectural Plants to advise us on how to deal with the planting layout for our new build garden. Our designer, Amy, planned our garden around trees and shrubs. It is only now, after they have been planted, can we really appreciate her expertise. The installation was excellent. Staff were very experienced. They came, dug, planted, irrigated and left the site immaculate. Nothing was too much trouble. Follow up plant care included advice on feeding, watering, mulching and pruning. We would thoroughly recommend them.’

-Rachel Risley, Dec 2023

AN INTERESTING GARDEN FOR A NEW BUILD HOUSE

‘It has been a pleasure working with this company. They have some excellent people where nothing is too much trouble. We contacted them to find someone who could give us an interesting garden in a new build house. We met with Zac who came up with a simple, low maintenance design which met our needs perfectly. The installation team, led by Freddie were great, their attention to detail was superb. They left us with a beautiful new garden. It was lovely to meet people who are passionate about their work. We would recommend this company every time.’

-John Turner, Nov 2023

AN EXCELLENT END TO END EXPERIENCE

We met with many garden designers before we found Architectural Plants. We’re so glad that we waited for the right fit! Our end to end experience was excellent. From our visits to their beautiful nursery, to working with the design/installation team, and even resolving a few challenges – everything was top notch. Thank you Debbie, Freddie, Mattia and the extended team. We’re so happy with your work and our garden.

-Danielle Davis, Oct 2023

AN ALL ROUND GREAT SERVICE

‘We had an unsightly gap along our north facing fence that needed filling, so after making an appointment and talking to Sarah about what we wanted, she helped us find the perfect plant. She was considerate to our specification, recommended and showed us a variety of suitable plants, and could answer all our questions. Also wanting delivery and planting, we thought we were in for a bit of a wait, however the delivery team contacted me for a much closer delivery and planting date, which I was very happy about. The chaps that came out and planted our new Eriobotrya Japonica were super professional, efficient, tidy and knowledgeable. An all round great service by all we dealt with. We’ll definitely be back!’

-JoJo CM, Apr 2023

AN IDEAL PLANTING SOLUTION

‘The Architectural Plant nursery is simply amazing. Plants of every different type, size and origin, sourced, grown and nurtured by knowledgeable and helpful people. Full marks particularly to garden designer Amy who skillfully planned the ideal planting solution for a rather neglected area of our garden and then arranged for one of her friendly efficient teams to come along and save us the job of planting everything! Couldn’t recommend these people more highly.’

-Geoffrey Hudson, Oct 2022

EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE, WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK

‘Visited AP yesterday for the first time and was extremely impressed. Great range of plants and a knowledgeable and attentive team. I estimate being looked after by 6 of the team yesterday and was at the nursery for 2 hours but could have spent longer. Still forgot a couple of plants. Will definitely be back. Great Nursery, great team and enjoyed the coffee. Well done AP.’

-Sean Hetherington, Aug 2022

AN AMAZING PLACE, WELL WORTH A VISIT

‘Needed some new secateurs and AP was the closest stockest of Niwaki tools, all I can say is absolutely amazing place well worth a visit, even if to just to admire the work and plants.’

-Sam Bailey, Aug 2022

A STUNNING RANGE OF PLANTS

‘Great experience with AP. Such a stunning range of plants (I could spend hours just wondering the nursery) and the whole team there were so helpful and knowledgeable. We got a wonderful Chusan Palm tree which is now a centre piece of our garden. Thanks AP!’

-Chris Croucher, Aug 2022

YOU HAVE TO VISIT AND ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE

‘Visiting AP is a fantastic experience. I know of no other facility that can provide me with anything I need for my garden from a small bush to a huge palm tree, all supported by great people with excellent knowledge and advice. You have to visit and enjoy the experience. Hats off to Guy and the team -Well done.’

-Martyn Jelley, Aug 2022

A PHENOMENAL NURSERY FULL OF TROPICAL BEAUTIES

‘Architectural Plants is basically perfect. We used to shop by mail order punctuated by the occasional trip from South London to various Sussex locations 20 years ago but we have landed up living 5 miles apart. Our garden enjoys agapanthus, olive, myrtle and many tropical beauties from this phenomenal nursery where the love of plants shines through. My husband has attended both the creative maintenence and niwaka pruning courses here and loved them both.’

-Katie Pybus, May 2022

LARGE SELECTION OF ACERS

‘Very pleasant staff and a large selection of Acers.’

-Maxine Hollis, Apr 2022

LOVELY SELECTION

‘Very informative & helpful. Lovely selection.’

-Suze Miller, Jan 2022

A SUPERB NURSERY FOR SERIOUS GARDENERS

‘Superb nursery for serious gardeners. The selection of niwaki is fabulous. They also have many interesting and unusual shrubs and trees from around the world. The team are very helpful and knowledgeable and give excellent advice about after care. Visiting is by appointment but that makes it a lot less busy so there is plenty of time to look around unhurried and work ideas through.’

-Dev Crease, Sept 2021

A TERRACE FULL OF DREAMS

‘We live in Cambridge but had used Architectural Plants for an area of our garden when we lived in West Sussex. We were greatly assisted with the selection of trees for our courtyard and first floor terrace, suitable to the conditions and climate. Having selected and purchased our trees we had been told to expect delivery in October or November but were lucky enough to have the delivery scheduled for early September. The terrace and courtyard are such that the 1m square pots and 7 trees needed to be craned over the house. The whole operation was done with safety in mind and the care and attention with which the trees were sited and potted could not be faulted. A watering system was put in to ensure the trees thrived and everyone involved was courteous and conscientious. I cannot recommend Guy and his team more highly and will be using them again for our upper terrace and remainder of the first floor terrace.’

-Joanna Morrow, Sept 2021

STUNNING ARRAY OF PLANTS AND TREES

‘Stunning array of plants and trees. Well kept with friendly staff.’

-Leigh Hunter, May 2021

A WONDERFUL PLACE TO VISIT

‘Wow. What a wonderful place to visit. Like walking into paradise. Super people. Cannot recommend this venue more highly. If you seek long term planting, planting for future generations, this is the venue for you.’

-Hamish Osborn, Jan 2021

A FANTASTIC PLACE

‘What a fantastic place! We only went to get some ideas, but left with purchasing some great plants and trees for our garden. Lovely staff, extremely knowledgeable and interpersonal. Well worth visiting.’

-Bryan Willetts, Oct 2020

A NURSERY UNLIKE ANY OTHER

‘This is a nursery unlike any other I’ve seen, around every corner you’ll see another plant to make you go “wow”. There are pricepoints to suit all budgets but you will have to save up your pennies for the big impressive statement pieces. They have a very useful traffic light system for hardiness and provide a lot of information about the plants for sale.’

-James Eaton, Nov 2019

TRANSFORMING AN ORDINARY GARDEN INTO PARADISE

‘From start to finish our journey with Architectural Plants has been a great experience, thanks to our garden designer Amy, and her brilliant team, who have between them transformed our ordinary garden into a paradise.

DEER RESISTANT GARDEN IN THE NEW FOREST

‘We have been absolutely delighted with the full garden design from Architectural Plants. From fantastic initial impressions at the wonderful nursery, which is an experience in itself, to the site visit and planting day, everyone has been fantastic. Sarah’s design was creative and had immense foresight to create a year round interest that fully fitted the brief. We are astounded how successful our garden has quickly become and the compliments from friends are never ending.’

-Ian, July 2018

A VERY BIG THANK YOU

-Sue and Mike 2015

WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK

‘Just wanted to say a massive thanks for your help with the garden. It’s exactly what we were hoping. We will definitely be back at Architectural Plants when we move on to the next phase.

-J & M, 2015

-Christine, 2014

BEAUTIFULLY PLANTED AND LOOKING SPLENDID

-Sara, 2014

I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED WITH THE RESULTS

‘Thanks so much for all your patient attention to all those little details, and for making such good planting suggestions. I am absolutely delighted with the result. It’s amazing what can be achieved by some good choice of plants and a hard morning of work. Much appreciated.’
