— Valerie C. (5/5)

good ferns

"The ferns are doing well (3 weeks out) and look healthy to me. Staff was super efficient and friendly as well! Love that they are stocking GA natives."

— Amar M. (5/5)

Repeat Orders- best service!

"Great selection, quality of plants, and delivery!"

— Susan M. (5/5)

You were prompt with addressing

"You were prompt with addressing a problem with one of the three ferns I received. One was in such bad shape with several stems broken that it should never have been put out for delivery. But you took the extra effort to replace that for which I was grateful."

— Sandra D. (3/5)

Lush and beautiful!

"The ferns look lush and a lovely light green."

— Annelies M. (5/5)

Healthy / Happy GA grown

"Serve Scape always serves up great plants."

— Amy W. (5/5)

Plants were healthy and full.

"Plants were healthy and full. I couldn’t find them at any of my usual spots so I took a chance on Servescape. I don’t usually pay retail prices, but these were less than usual retail and the cost of delivery added little to the overall price. Pleasantly surprised."

— Katarina J. (5/5)
