    Cherry Berries Wintergreen

    Posted by Megan OMalley on Nov 28th 2020

    This review is for a plant purchased online via the Hirt’s Gardens shop on Etsy. I ordered the plant a few days before Thanksgiving, and was worried about how it would fare with the extra days in a box. First of all, it arrived a day early! And then, it was packaged extremely well, not a leaf or berry out of place! The photo was taken immediately after receipt. I am shocked that it actually has berries! No one can guarantee the life of a plant once it’s in someone else’s hands, but Hirt’s Gardens has done their best to provide a healthy seedling (or rooted cutting) with the best possible chance of survival. The transaction was easy, communication was great, and the plant is beautiful. I highly recommend ordering from this nursery!
