I'm very pleased and impressed with the quality of this tree.
We were not sure what type of plants to order for the butterflies we wanted to attract in our garden. The way the Eden of Wings website was set up and with the help of the owner, Guy we were able to pick a couple of beautiful plants. Guy is very knowledgeable. We appreciated the "extra mile" he went to help us make the right decisions.
