“Hello Guys

We just purchased a planter (with legs) from yourselves and having assembled it I wanted to tell you how pleased we are with this piece of kit. Not only is it well made and easy to put together it is also very robust, something perhaps we should expect but don’t often get with garden equipment bought on line.

Again, many thanks.

Phil”

What a wonderful product, really easy and most of all.. its sturdy!
I had two raised beds delivered last week, both were wobbly and much more expensive so I sent them back (www.xxxxxxx.com- never ever again, total rubbish!).
Thanks to you I am happy now, let the gardening begin!
Big thanks!

June 2011 – Whitchurch Junior School – We supplied and installed 8 raised beds for the Junior School – click here for raised beds

 

” Garden Larch has been brilliant from start to finish. Before we bought the vegetable beds, they were very helpful on the phone and clearly knew what they were talking about, offering useful and insightful advice which swayed our decision to go with them. We found them to be quick and on time with delivery and very professional in their communication, attitude and work. As a relatively large Junior School, we were looking for a product which would be sturdy enough to cope with regular use and last long enough to justify the investment. We also love the fact that Larch is such a naturally good product and that we can avoid the ingress of chemicals into the soil which we would have had with other treated woods. This is a real bonus to our environmentally friendly outlook and what we are trying to teach the children about sustainability and producing organic food. The food we grow will be used in the school kitchen so this helps to promote our healthy eating policy.
The raised beds themselves are fantastic! The quality is far better than we expected and they will clearly stand the test of time, not only from the weather but also from the many children who are going to be using them. They are incredibly sturdy and fit together well, whilst the planed wood means the children are less likely to get splinters. We are also impressed with the design which allows for netting to be attached over the top more easily with the slightly raised corner posts.
We would definitely recommend Garden Larch as the service and product have been first class. As you can see in the pictures another generation of young gardeners are enjoying themselves, so thanks!”

Mr Anthony Proctor – purchased 4 x 1m x400mm wide x 350mm high coach bolted troughs. click here
Dear Chris,

“Thanks so much for the four excellent planters received last week. Sturdy, solid, easy to assemble and look great.

Thanks also for taking my call the other day checking you out! Having been scammed once on the web a necessary precaution! Nice to do business with a Lancashire company too.
I will be asking you to build something specific in autumn probably.
Well done.”

Feedback from Sarah Page from London who ordered 1X1.5m x 400mm x650mm coach bolted trough – click here for trough

 

Dear Chris

My planters arrived this afternoon, and duly spent an hour assembling the trough (I am quite small and not particularly strong!!!).

Well, they are absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much. They look stunning on our patio, and as you say, are completely in proportion to each other. They are beautiful to look at, and I know they will receive much admiration for years to come – a credit to your craftsmanship. Our garden has been a lengthy project, and once I have planted-up, it will all be finished – phew!

I have tried to express this in my feedback, but the number of characters is very limiting.

I honestly think you are under-selling your products. I tendered several quotes – no one else came close!

Once again, many thanks.

With kind regards,
Sarah

Thank you for your efficient and quick service too.

Kind regards
Karen Wildgoose”

“Chris,
Just to say how delighted I am at my raised bed order.
I assembled one at the weekend after digging out the ground underneath.
I even managed to get free compost from the council to fill it.

Your product is far superior to many others I have seen in garden centres etc.
I’ll be back when I need some more larch products.

Cheers,

Alex”

“Thanks, pleasure to do business. I’m v. pleased with the trough I bought from you. It’s next year’s effort at beating the carrot root fly. If it’s successful, I’ll let you know, it’d be a good selling point for you! Cheers, John.”

 

On 13th March 2012 Lauren Brown wrote – who had purchased 5 troughs – see here
“Hello Chris,
I am attaching a photo of how I planted up the troughs you custom made for me last autumn. It’s just bulbs and pansies but they look so impressive and there’s more bulbs that haven’t come along yet. Once they have gone over I will be filling them chock-a-block with annuals. All I did, besides staining them green, was to line them with that meshy ground cover fabric, stapling it into place. This was after putting a coat of a weather protect sealer on the wood inside. So I am sure they will last for a very very long time. People are amazed when I tell them how reasonably priced they were for all 5. Please feel free to use my photo and testimony… you deserve it!”
Cheers, Lauren

Many thanks for the workbenches, and the quick service!

And thankyou for assembling them for me, you saved me a fair bit of time and trouble!

I’ll keep your business card for future reference in case I need anything else.”

“I ordered some of your big raised beds earlier this year, and realise I
forgot to send you some photos of their progress…

(more of my pics are on my flickr –
http://www.flickr.com/photos/thewhiteheads/7907569782/in/set-72157629137795852)
Just to say they are wonderful, and receive many compliments on them –
I’ve used three for garden planting and one at present as a vegetable
bed in our tiny courtyard. Hopefully soon, I’ll be getting an
allotment, so will be aiming to order more then for the vegetables there.

I’ll send some more photos in the spring when the courtyard garden has
been completed.”

Best wishes

“Dear Chris
Thank you SO much for the wonderful nest box kits!
They are really amazing and the children will be so excited to make their own boxes.
Thank you also for all the ‘extra’ pieces of wood you sent and the nest box sample which you made up for us. (This will make the teaching so much easier for me as I can now see what they should look like in the end!)
What a great service and price from you. We are very impressed!

Steve Kearns ordered some bespoke planters complete with lids to create a seating area.

Hi Phil & Chris,
I know that it has been a while so apologies for the delay in getting some pictures over to you as I had promised. We have only just got to the point where I felt it was worth sharing.
As I said at the time of ordering I’d give you the final pictures so that you could see what I had planned. I think that this could be a nice addition to your range of planters, another string to the bow if you like. We love spending time out there that’s for sure.

Thanks again for all of the planters that we ordered and for your great service at the time, I will be sure to recommend you in the future if anyone asks.
All the best for now,
Steve
