Our Feedback
Dear folks at Victoriana
My order arrived very punctually yesterday morning and the vine is now planted.
I would particularly like to thank the person who was responsible for the excellent packing of the vine, which I am sure can be a boring job but was very much appreciated by me! Please pass this message on and my thanks to all.
