What people say
Thank you for all your support and encouragement over the years. They always cheer us up when the temperature drops outside and our fingers are frozen or we are drooping with exhaustion in the spring.
- Brilliant
Gail - New Zealand - July 2024 - I ordered several Hellebores, I still had some questions on my order that were answered in a very correct way. Plants were very well packed and arrived fast.

radu - Romania - June 2023 - Delivery started on March 25th, received on April 13th! Please note if anyone wants to order seeds to Korea! The quarantine certificate worked and was able to arrive safely. I'll plant it right away! Thank you. Next time, I'll have to raise another seed here! A lot of things have happened, but.. Now I'm so happy that this cute seed has come to me - I'll let you know again when it germinates! Have a good day
Suwancho - Korea - April 2023 - Thank you so much for the primroses plants, seeds and great delivery service. I received plants in 4 days.

Margaret - Ireland- January 2022 - I orded plants when they where delivered in HOlland,the plants where very nice and the condition was very goed and sheep
Arie W. - Holland - January 2022 - My experience with Barnhaven has been very positive. My seeds (and book) arrived within 5 days from France to Canada - much faster than my expectations. I sowed the seeds on May 27 and now 2 weeks later, there is germination from all of the six packets that I ordered - Florindae, Elizabethan and Victorian polyanthus, Vulgaris, Bulleesiana, and Sieboldii. Flurondae was first and it looks like most of the seed germinated, while Sieboldii started within the last day or 2. I am very much looking forward to ordering again from Barnhaven.
Ewan - Canada - June 2021 - My stepfather who passed away 4 years back had taken to growing flowers from seed in the last decade of his life. He wanted ever more challenges. He ordered polyanthus, auricula, and miscellaneous other seed from Barnhaven. Now, my mother and I in our two homes have his gorgeous primroses still blooming this spring, at mine it's a few auricula in pots and candelabra in the ground, at hers it's those and gorgeous streams of blue shades of primroses. So... I wanted to try to do what he did this year. I ordered many strains of polyanthus and some auricula. Came beautifully packaged-- am keeping the seed packages as "souvenirs"-- and fresh. I have many little plants growing away except so far not auricula. I am new at primula, so that's OK-- I will actually be even more impressed by my stepdad's skill if I can't completely replicate what he did! Thank you Barnhaven for your quality and range and for being a new family tradition and bringing such joy, connection and beauty!
Kelly O. - United States - May 2021 - Good service, good help with the order, the plants were well packed and arrived in good condition, and had an excellent quality. Recommend!

Shane - Ireland - April 2021 - I received primrose seeds last year. They have grown beautifully, and some of them even bloomed in late summer, despite the coronavirus and the disgusting Moscow climate. Thank you very much!
Natalya - Russia - February 2021 - I first ‘fell in love’ with primroses when I was two and they have a special in my heart and garden; to me they carry the hope of spring.
I received a gift of three last spring (2020) and they were so beautiful I wanted make a special bed of primroses. Now if you want the best, and very special primroses, there is only one place you go – Barnhaven.
They are specialists in primrose growing and have so many glorious primroses you are spoilt for choice. The colours are spectacular.
The person I dealt with, Jodie Mitchell, was so helpful and kept in contact with me helping at every stage of my order. I can’t thank her enough.
The primroses are beautifully and very carefully packed, and arrived very quickly. They are lovely, strong, well grown plants.
Sorry Jodie you’ll have to put up with me again I will be coming back for more.

Lesley C. - United Kingdom - June 2020 - At risk of being a bore but with little else to amuse myself herewith I am relating my experience with Barnhaven. I think it was in 1975 that I saw an advert in the local paper in Hobart tasmania where we were living at the time. The ad was for Barnhaven Primroses from Goodwin Bros. a family nursery inland from where we were living. The family were buying seed from Kendall and selling off plants as well as having a display garden. A year later I was corresponding with a colourful character in Jared Sinclair. My work moved the family around a bit and a few years later, living in Christchurch NZ I was propogating my own plants. Family and work dominated in those days and gardening went on the back burner until I retired some fifteen years ago. Now, living in the Bay of Plenty in NZ I have time again to persue these interests again particularly under the current circumstances. I still have the small catalogue from the Sinclair's with Francis Bellis on the front. I have never had a failure in germinating Barnhaven seeds. Steve P.

Susan B. - United Kingdom - December 2019 - We are glad you have had success with our seeds. If the ground is not frozen, you can plant the seedling out now. If not, a cool greenhouse is a good place to keep them until spring.
