August 2009, from Paul Green, Northern France "I wanted to grow EUCALYPTUS trees in Northern France (Brittany area). I searched the web for seed retailers and took advice from those that had already succeeded in our area. A friend visited Australia and brought me back some "fresh" seeds. These were sown and protected but with no result. I contacted Australian Widflower Seeds for advice. I was not fishing for replacement seeds but they were much to my joy offered. I put the old packets in the post and to my great surprise 2 new packets arrived within a week of posting. These came with a letter explaining where I had perhaps gone wrong and a card. I must say that if all businesses were conducted in this manner and with with this degree of quality the world would not be in any sort of recession. I really did not think that service existed today as it certainly does NOT in France, a country where the customer is always wrong and the arrogant retailer is always in the right. Well done Australia and well done Australian Wildflower Seeds. I will do my best to get things right this time and I will BUY from your company again. Many, many thanks again for a wonderful service, yours, Paul Green."   April 2009, from Gillian Scott, Clarkson, Western Australia - "Thanks Bill. Our seeds (sent 22/04) arrived Thursday (23/04). Thank you for the prompt service - we really liked your website and found it very easy to navigate and very informative."   Feb 2007, from Bill Hardin, Tamworth, New South Wales - "About 16 years ago I was in WA (Western Australia) and collected a variety of Calothamnus seeds. These sat in a box till last year when I decided to plant some of them ... with very poor results ... some with no germination at all, so I thought I had left them too long and they were no longer viable. After I received your smoked vermiculite (Wildflower Seed Starter) I decided to sow the rest of the seeds and use your smoke treatment. Wow! I coudn't believe the difference. I got excellent germination with some of the seeds, moderate germination with others and some germination from the rest. This was a very good testimonial for your product."   Jan 2008, Karen Knight, Cornwall, UK - following successful purchase via our website. By email  "... the seeds have arrived. ... Will I need smoky water to get germination going?"        **   Our explanation sent by email next day with supporting info for each seed variety purchased. Reply received next day ...  "Thanks for the prompt reply, you are "brill" (brilliant). Advice taken on board. Will keep you informed."   Patricia Pieterek – Firle, South Australia Wrote us a letter to say she has Sturt Pea growing and blooming in her garden and has been successful with Sturt Pea on a number of occasions.   A S Hall – Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, England Wrote describing success growing our Rottnest Island Daisy seeds in the Birmingham area, with the plants flowering until late October even in temperatures as low as -4C.   Wolfgang Maninger - Burgschwalbach, Germany Wrote requesting help in locating various seeds outside our presentation range, which we were able to do. Also advised of success in growing several of our varieties in Germany, including Banksia burdettii (our Orange Banksia). Provided photographs of Banksia asplenifolia in flower. Wrote again about a year later to thank us for recent supply of seeds of several species which he considered relatively rare, and described successes (and a few failures) among the many varieties of Australian native plant seeds he purchased from us. He used our General Sowing Guide and is very pleased.   Judi James – Reseller, Coober Pedy, South Australia Note received advising our Sturt Pea seeds sell well from her shop in Coober Pedy and with recent rains (at that time), Sturt Pea is growing and blooming well in that area.   Tony Buck – Greywell, Hants, UK Faxed us to say that the Kangaroo Paw seeds purchased at Chelsea Flower Show have grown well and flowered (in June), raised exclusively in their greenhouse. Caused much interest among friends.   Julie Hughes – Birmingham, England Sent a letter with photographs showing Golden Everlastings and Sturt Pea in flower in her garden.
