Looking forward to Halloween

When ordering for the first time I relied on other reviews here to hope the plants would arrive in good condition. My order exceeded expectations , you could immediately tell the care and effort that GrowJoy took to ship these plants. They were healthy and are already thriving after transplanting. I cannot wait to see the pumpkins they yield in the fall !

Plants came a little unhealthy because of the distance. Planted them anyways but not luck. Let the company know and they sent me new plants without any hassle at all. I’m happy to report that my pumpkins are growing like wild flowers. Thank you! I’ll always come back.

Helped create a memory

My special needs son really wanted to plant something and help it grow and I thought pumpkins would be a great idea, but by the time we got a garden plot ready it was already mid July and I worried about the timing of growing from seeds. Enter GrowJoy, who via a quick and easy online order process, speedy shipping, and excellent product delivery quality enables us to get back in track. They are growing great and we’re excited to see if we’ll have pumpkins for Halloween!

Pumpkin seedlings

Healthy, green, well-packaged.

From Thomas | June 29, 2018


As usual excellent service

Have ordered numerous vegetable plants from GrowJoy and as usual, the plants arrived on time, were well packaged, in great shape, and ready to go into the ground. I have given up on seeds (too many don’t sprout) and these guys have filled my bill.

From Joseph | June 08, 2018


Wonderful large Start Will buy from again

Great Nice starts, good roots, healthy looking. safely arrived great packing. Definitely Buy from again. VERY PLEASED. The only little thing to improve this purchase, would be a better idea about shipment arrival.

From Penny | May 20, 2018


Pumpkin plants

These pumpkin plants arrived in excellent condition and so much easier than trying to start from seeds and deciding which seedlings to keep. I planted and they just took off growing. I am very happy with all the plants I have purchased.

From Jean | May 18, 2018


Pumpkin yay!

So I got 2 Connecticut Field Pumpkin plants. Awesome. They shipped in a reasonable amount of time. The plants where good growing and strong. I would order from them again

From Christine | October 09, 2017


Connecticut Field Pumpkin

The residents of my brother's group home wanted to grow their own Pumpkins for Halloween this year, and I knew we were late for planting, so I ordered 15 plants. They arrived promptly, packed in an ingenious way to keep them safe and healthy. They transplanted beautifully and are growing like crazy. You guys are the best. Thanks very much!! Great Pumpkins!

From Laura | August 18, 2017


Outstanding!

Excellent experience with the GrowJoy company. I'm usually able to purchase Pumpkin plants at my local Lowes or Home Depot but they were not available this year and all other garden stores did not have Pumpkin plants. I look forward to growing Connecticut Field Pumpkin pumpkins for Halloween and GrowJoy company was able to deliver healthy plants within a very short period of time. They saved my favorite part of Autumn which is watching my Pumpkins grow in my own little Pumpkin patch. I highly recommend this online garden company.

From Kelly | July 11, 2017
