Absolutely thrilled with my silver lady fern! The plant arrived in perfect condition—lush, vibrant, and clearly very healthy. Communication throughout the process was excellent, with timely updates and helpful responses to my questions. Would definitely order again!
The heartleag they delivered looked so healthy! I’m looking forward to have this plant in my collection.
A beautifully delicate palm, delivered with love and care—thank you!
This is the first time I purchased from TAPS and I was so happy with the quality of the plants. It made a beautiful gift for my mum who has been searching for a cardamom plant for so long. I will definitely purchase from them again
This plant was handpicked for me and it is beautiful. It’s very healthy and quite the stunner.
So colourful and pretty looks majestic in my front courtyard!
Delivery was quick and delivered with care and quality tops I highly recommend 👌 The Australian Plant Shop for all your garden needs!!!
The Palm looked heathy and beautiful, it took some time to arrive but was worth the wait! Much bigger than I thought a an amazing specimen.

We have white walls and this plant is perfect! The plant is very healthy and luscious! It was delivered right to our door with care and a smile.. I would definitely buy again!
The plants I received were so well packed for transport and just completely healthy with lovely thick stems and perfect foliage. I 100% recommend buying from The Australian Plant Shop as they will make sure you get a plant that is value for money.
Very healthy looking plant and arrived very quickly upon placing order. 10/10 would order from here again :)
A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.
The plant arrived early afternoon yesterday & is indeed a beautiful specimen. Thank you so much.
I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
Fastest delivery! Friendly! The ZZ plant is so beautiful! Perfect gift. Accommodating! Definitely will order again soon!
