Arrived on time. All blooms had fallen off and in bottom of container. I did call and was told this does happen and what steps to take. I have ordered before as a gift and was told topiary was beautiful. Hope this one turns out the same.

Tree was beautiful but the condolence message was missing and our friends had to ask around to find out who sent it. That was disappointing..

Received the Blue Spruce Tree in memory of my mother. Packaging was perfect but unfortunately the tree was sparse and now the needles are falling off rapidly and appears to be dying. I followed the instructions as provided. Disappointed

I had an olive tree sent to a long lifetime friend of mine After her husband passed away suddenly… The tree got there in a very timely manner however, somebody else’s message must have got switched with mine and she got the wrong message… This was a little upsetting because this was a very very difficult time and I wanted her to know of our sympathy and thoughts for her. When I called to let seeds of life know what happened the person I spoke with literally had zero to no response about it like it was no big deal… they should really take the messaging part of sending their products more seriously

I sent this to a friend who had just lost her father, and when it arrived, the leaves were covered in fungus and a little wilted. We're hoping (after getting it cleaned off in the rain) it will be fine and as beautiful as the photos once planted. Other than that, she said it was packaged beautifully in the burlap and she was grateful for the sentimental gift, as her father was an avid rose gardener.

I recently purchased the potted Gardenia for a friend of mine who had lost a loved one. The plant, itself, was adorable and smelled so good, but I was quite shocked, when ordering, to find that the cost to ship it was half the price of the already pricey plant! I realize that Seeds of Life has no control over the shipping cost, but nonetheless, this ended up being a very expensive gift. Then, when the plant arrived, the delivery person laid the box down (horizontally) on the porch. I thought there would be some sort of info on the outside of the box, stating that this was a plant and should be set upright. Overall, this was a very nice gift, but I will unfortunately be limited to only purchasing once because of the cost.

I tried to send an olive tree as a memorial gift; however, Seeds of Life was not shipping these for 3-4 mos. The only tree that I was able to ship was a Spruce Tree. The large tree was not in stock, so I had to settle for a small tree. It was a frustrating experience .

SENT 4 OF THESE GARDENIA PLANTS TO FAMILY. NOT ONE OF THEM HAD A FLOWER ON THEM. PACKAGING IS CUTE, BUT WAS HOPING THEY LOOKED MORE LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWN WHEN THEY ARRIVED. DISAPPOINTED...

The tree is nice but small for the price. The memory plaque arrived damaged. The thought behind the gift very appreciated.

This is our second time using Seeds of Life. Great quality plants and fast shipping. My only reason for a 4 star review is that for my last order, I ordered a engraved tag. The picture depicted is a bit confusing and I assumed that "In Loving Memory" was already included and I only added the person's name in the message, which meant that they received a tag with only their name and not the "In Loving Memory" message. I wish this was more clear or better depicted in the picture.

I just received a memorial tree. It appears to be a shrub. When looking up this Magnolia it is most often a shrub. I live in zone 4 VT. I’ve potted up the magnolia in order to plant it in spring. The leaves have black spots on them. Not sure what they are as there are but it could be Epicoccum sp. a fungle disease. Do you have any suggestions?

I paid for 2 day delivery and talked to someone who assured me they would be delivered on Friday. They were not there before the service. Another problem was there no card attached. I had told my sister I was sending them to her daughter so she knew who they were from. The position note is the rose bush was beautiful and full of blooms.

Sadly our tree arrived broken.

I ordered this Olive tree as a memorial gift for my best friend who is grieving the loss of her beloved dog, whose one year anniversary of crossing the Rainbow Bridge was Sunday. The website states “All shipments received before1:30 pm EST (Monday - Friday) are guaranteed to depart same day. After the 1:30pm cut off time, orders will be processed the following business day. The website states Seeds of Life ships Monday - Friday”. However, I placed the order late Thursday afternoon, expecting it to be shipped Friday. I paid for 2-day shipping. When I called them Monday morning, I was told that they didn’t ship any orders Friday, with no further explanation. Just that they did not ship Friday-Sunday. So they need to change what is stated very clearly on the website. Orders are NOT shipped on Fridays! I wish I had known that!

So my friend adores our gift and planted it right away. However when I saw a picture of it when it arrived I was alittle disappointed. No full blooms and yellowing leaves.

I ordered this Topiary as a sympathy gift. The color I originally chose was not available and I was having trouble ordering online so I ended up calling in for assistance. I wanted to order the plaque to go with the rose but corporate has a budget and I was $5 over. I explained this to the person I spoke with and asked if there was a discount code that could be applied to keep me under budget. I was told this is not an option so I was unable to purchase the plaque. However, after I placed my order I received an email with a discount on it for my next order! I was disappointed. Hopefully the topiary was beautiful. I have not asked the recipient.

I know it is not the Seeds of Life's fault, however they may need to consider change couriors. FedEx literally THREW it on our porch, we have cameras, and of course, the ceramic container was cracked all the way through. Although we thought we could handle it, by reviving it, it must have damaged the plant in some way, as the plant is almost dead after love and tremendous care. The plant was beautiful and smelled glorious. Please consider using UPS or another reliable courior. Thank you for the opportunity for people to purchase special memorials. The only reason for not 5 stars, is the cost is significant, and I'd pay extra shipping if it ensured the item would be delivered as intended by Seeds of Life. I LOVE it! Warm regards, Teresa

I ordered this gift back in January, when delivered to San Jose, CA in April. The recipient said the plant was very dry. I am hopeful that it will spring back. I will need to consider that if I ever order again.

From the photo I was expecting lemons on the tree, which there weren’t any, just flower buds. I also was disappointed that I had to pay $34 for 2nd day delivery to the funeral home.

Nice product, but lousy customer experience and service.
