Great service, highly recommend
Very pleased with the quality of these bulbs. Delivered in excellent fresh condition and sooner than estimated delivery time. They were in the ground less than an hour after dropping through the letter box. Also great value for money. Woodland bulbs will be the first suppliers I’ll check out for future bulb purchases.
