I’m really pleased with the plants supports; they are just the right height for our roses.
The stakes should be ideal for my taller Dahlias. Packaging was spot on and no damage occurred.

This is to confirm that I received the rose supports as promised last Thursday. I am so pleased with them, they have made such a difference to my wet and floppy garden and I have more planting space now that the roses are contained! Thank you so much for dealing with my order so promptly and for such a garden worthy product.
Kind regards, Glenise

Dear Gary - Just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with the plants supports - they arrived promptly, well packaged and once unwrapped made an immediate impact in the garden even without any plants. The birds are quite familiar with them now and use them to rest on. Our garden is very windy so I am pleased they are so strong. Thanks again for being so efficient.
Kind regards, Pauline

I just wanted to let you know that the gardener I gave these plant supports to absolutely adores them - thanks very much for selling such lovely, well designed items.

well, I am now the very proud owner of a beautiful ‘Cyclamen’ fountain. To say I’m pleased with it is an understatement, I am thrilled with it. It must be so rewarding making such beautiful works of art and I, for one, am so glad you do it.
Thank you so much, I am over the moon with it.

I just wanted to write to thank you so much for the fountain you recently made for us. My mum absolutely loves it and is looking forward to seeing it working in due course. Also, thank you again for making so much effort to getting it ready for her birthday, when you were clearly under a lot of pressure with other commissions. It was a pleasure communicating with you throughout the purchase process.

November 2011 - I can say, without fear of contradiction, that so far everyone that has seen it has been seriously impressed with your work on this, me more than most I must add, and once again I would like to thank you for all your efforts in the creation of this piece of art. Going forwards, if required I would be only too pleased to provide any form of reference that anyone may request and will forward some photographs of the leaf in position to you in the imminent future.

Our Celebration Tree recognises the 40th anniversary of our Little Hulton Hospice, marking the fact that we’ve been providing specialist palliative care to people in Salford for 40 years.  It is also a beautiful and lasting way for our supporters to celebrate the people who are special to them.  We chose the Love Tree and it sits so beautifully in our main reception.  We are delighted with the tree and have had lots of positive comments about how striking it is.

Thank you, Gary, and Bronwen for your all your help in getting this from an idea to reality for us.  The samples you provided really helped showcase the quality of the tree and the leaves.  Your support and advice throughout the process has been invaluable and we are really pleased with the final sculpture.  We look forward to our tree blossoming in the months and years to come and we know we can count on your continued support.  Thank you.

Our beautiful Memory Tree which was made by Metallic Garden had proved to be a very popular addition to our hospice. It has pride of place in our reception area and we have received so many positive comments from visitors, families and our volunteers. The design and quality of the tree is exceptional and the customer service from Metallic Garden is exceptional. Thank You for all your advice and continued support.

Working with Gary and Bronwen at Finch Tree has been a real pleasure. They took the time to send us samples, worked with us on the designing of our Memory Leaves and gave us feedback on what would work best. This has resulted in us all being really pleased with the product and I am sure the people that purchase one in memory of a loved one will be happy with the product.
