A few days after ordering I got an email saying they were going bankrupt, could not ship my plants and could not refund my money Stay away from this company read more

I rarely write reviews because it is seldom that I can write a positive one, but Almost Eden deserves a review of their outstanding product, service, care about their product, and fair pricing. This was my first time using Almost Eden, and they have made me into a regular customer. I ordered in January, just as we were headed into a two week severe cold snap. Mr. McMillian emailed me to say he was going to delay the shipment until the weather moderated. I received my shipment this week and could not be more pleased. All the plants were very carefully packaged, no damage and in great shape. I am so pleased I will be ordering plants for my daughter in south Mississippi. Thank you, John. read more

The company took my order and money and a week later said they were going out of business. Their attorney says "they cannot return the money or ship the plants". So I am out my money unless I want to drive to Louisiana to pick up my order. I would not recommend purchase from this business . read more

I'M IN BUFFALO NY- ZONE 6, I AM NOT SURE WHY IT SHOWS I AM IN CA................................. I bought a lot of HARDY Agapanthus 'Blue Yonder from here and they never came up. I did ask it they were the Hardy and he said yes. So I never saw them come up or grow after planting them, there was only the little green they came in, maybe a few inches and not even the size of a small woman's pinky. Just buy in person for that price to make sure they are big. I lost their information as I order from many locations and I just found the tag. So I just called them to tell them what happened, and I was told they only help after 10 days. I ordered many of the same plants from them and not ONE was HARDY for me. Don't waste your money.... buy with Guarantee online stores ONLY, like I always have done in the past. People do not have money to just give away. read more

Lots of unusual plants, I found this place on a google search to find a vine I couldn't find at my usual online sources. Plants were beautifully packaged & arrived in excellent shape. Purple akebia vine grew 2" the first day it was planted. read more

Great plants, I ordered various types of Osmanthus, Gardenia, Night and day blooming jasmine and they were shipped to me in great condition to experiment in my hot and dry climate (summer temp that reaches 110-120) in CA, some have died because of the climate and a couple died because during the hot summer days, I went on vacation and died from thirst (my Drip didn't turn on that week) .. it's my fault they died, I should have grown them in shade for a couple of years to better handle the climate slowly, hard lesson learn, but those that survived, Osmanthus, Gardenia, Night and day blooming jasmine have grown up with some flowers and those that has not bloom, just hoping soon! They respond to emails too which is a plus! read more

Plants arrived beautiful & well packaged. Can't wait to plant them. I lost my last Coral Vines to frost & freeze. Can't wait to see these blooming! read more

In short: Almost Eden provides High-Quality Plants, Reasonable Prices, Expert Packaging and Shipping, Superior Service and Follow Up. The Long Version: We live in the San Bernardino mountains of California, and we ordered from Almost Eden because they were the only provider of plants that could deliver the unique plants (I called a dozen local places :( and Googled for the rest--2 dozen possibilities) AND were reasonably priced. Every other place that offered the plant, the price was 2-3 times the cost, plus heavy shipping and handling fees. After I procured the information, I forwarded it to the head office to order. Then, we awaited the arrival to plant the 15 plants we ordered. We tracked it through the USPS and when it didn't arrive on the day we expected, we spent the next day going through the steps, retracing what went wrong. Now, two days later, we discovered: 1) our head office mislabeled the address...correct post office but not the correct P.O.Box #. So we knew the mistake was ours. But we persisted and my husband left to go to the post office because the tracking # said it was still there. 2. I called Almost Eden and spoke with a WONDERFUL customer representative, John, who was concerned and said he would follow up with the Post Office from his end, even though it was not his fault. I gave him our local Post Office's phone number so he could. 3. My husband contacted OUR rural mountain Post Office and they said they couldn't find it. UGH! We gave them the tracking # but they could not locate a 12"x12"x24" box, with bold red tape on it, and the USDA express sticker of live plants. 4. John, of Almost Eden, called the Post Office in our town, too. No surprise, the clerk said they couldn't find it. 5. John contacted HIS local Postal Superintendent and relayed the info. She apparently called OUR Post Office, and surprise, surprise, they found it! 6. Our Post Office called us to tell us that they had found it. 7. John called within 10 seconds of their hanging up to say his Post Office had helped Our Post Office locate it. LOL 8. My husband went to collect it. I know this is a long review, but I am SOLD on doing business with Almost Eden. I haven't seen this level of customer support since I was young, living in a small town where everyone cared about everyone. I speculate that if you'd ask John, he would shake his head and say that he was just doing the common sense and neighborly thing. We're two thousand miles away, but I feel as if we were neighbors (the good kind) and I know that he is the type of person/business that stands behind their products and service. The plants are not only still viable, they are in perfect condition and I can't wait to plant them and see them perking up the landscape with their colorful flowers. I wish I could give Almost Eden 10 Stars over 5. They were that outstanding. A rare business ethic in today's world of "I don't care attitudes." Thank you, John. read more

I opened the box and was blown away! Three live plants, packaged perfectly and in perfect condition after shipment! I bought 3 tangerine crossvine plants to replace ones that had died from another supplier. (What I got from the other supplier were 8 dead looking sticks. Almost Eden's plants surpassed the other supplier 100 fold. I can't tell you how impressed I am with Almost Eden. Will buy from them whenever possible. read more

The plants arrived carefully packaged and in beautiful shape. John also provided excellent customer service when I needed to make a change to my order. I would definitely recommend Almost Eden to any gardeners looking for high quality native and unusual plants. read more

I ordered a few plants online from Almost Eden and was so impressed with their delivery! The shipment was super fast, plants were beautifully packaged and arrived in perfect shape. Can highly recommend this company and would definitely order from them again! read more

After an extensive web search for Mexican Flame vine I located this nursery. I read the plant availability description carefully but without photos of the actual plants that I was ordering I feared they would be undersize: many nurseries list plants by pot size which means little to me since a 4" pot can hold a 2" tall plant or an 18" tall plant. The three plants I ordered from Almost Eden were quite tall for their small pots, so kudos to AE for sending such nice plants - and they were in perfect condition, some even showing flower buds. Packing was expertly done, with plants and pots secured in a box that *could* have been shipped upside down without damage to contents. Cross-country priority shipping wasn't cheap, but considering the excellent condition they arrived in, was well worth it. I'm impressed with the quality of their plants and their service; would definitely order from them again. Now...can someone tell me why Cardinal Climber plants (not seeds) are impossible to find? These are rarer than gold! read more

I purchased 3 Osmanthus ( sweet tea olive, echo orange) from Almost Eden, August 2018. The plants arrived in excellent condition. I could not be more pleased. The pricing was very reasonable especially for the size I received, I was expecting something smaller. Other websites sell these, but the prices are outrageous, or they are always sold out, or they do not comply with the strict agricultural safeguard laws in the state of Cal. This type of osmanthus is virtually impossible to find around central and southern cal. I am so excited about the plants beautiful condition, and the sheer fact that I found them at a fair price. I am looking forward to buying more "hard to find plants" from Almost Eden, thank you so much!!! read more

I recently purchased a coffee plant from them. The plant arrived almost dead. The leaves were dried up with brown and black patches. All the leaves fell off the next day. read more

I wasn't certain about ordering because I live in California, which has restrictions on the import of plants from other states due to fears of spreading agricultural pests liked medfly. But the owners of Almost Eden had all the documentation in order and I received their well-packaged, healthy plants in good condition. read more

They carry some rare cultivars. Some are out of stock though. Plants are wrapped very well. Wish they could use UPS as USPS has been delaying my plants. read more

John is prompt and unusually nice to deal with. Considering I was after a very hard to find plant, prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.
