Reviews for: Sow Exotic

I’ve been gardening for a long time and have ordered from more nurseries than I can count, so I’m pretty realistic about what to expect with shipping live plants. But the order I received from Sow Exotic honestly exceeded every expectation I had.

Long term, their plants have preformed exceptionally well in my food forest. My Barbados cherry and Everbearing Mulberry from them are two of the most vigorous plants on my property. Mac M.

Sow Exotic has become my go-to nursery for rare and hard-to-find plants. Every order I’ve placed has arrived carefully packaged, healthy, and true to size, with plants that clearly come from people who love what they do. Their customer service is amazing too. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping you in your garden. Highly recommend to anyone looking for unique varieties and a reliable place to buy from!

I've been buying plants from Sow Exotic for several years now, and I've been happy with what I've received every time. Brittany and Jared have cultivated an amazing permaculture oasis. The variety of plants I've bought over the years is awesome, and they add more varieties and new species frequently. If you can pick it up locally, I recommend doing so. Mailing plants is stressful for the plant, of course. Their plants are grown with care and love.

Sow Exotic sent two very small, distressed Mysore raspberries to me for $15 a piece with a $10 shipping charge. I was astonished at how fragile they looked and expected much better quality for the money I paid. Perhaps I should've seen this coming, had I read their online reviews before ordering. Apparently, there have been a large number of other dissatisfied customers who have had issues with the company. The raspberries' condition worsened in the weeks after they arrived, and the two plants eventually died despite proper care. I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint against Sow Exotic for improperly handling my transaction but was met with denial and blame. They never tried to process a refund for my loss nor did they offer replacements. I strongly urge others to avoid Sow Exotic or you very well may find yourself as disappointed as I.
