Incredible Packaging
Received a plant as a gift from a friend and it is just beautiful. The most surprising thing was the packaging, plants are not the easiest thing to transport but this was packaged perfectly. It’s a beautiful plant and I appreciate the offer of ongoing support from Leon & George if I have any issues. Five star for sure!
