Ordered a plant through Walmart and unfortunately received the wrong plant. After contacting Walmart, they were able to get the shipper to respond, and Mr. Hirt was very generous and sent me the Banyan tree plant I ordered and told me to keep the Spath.
Both plants arrived in excellent condition, well packed. I was very impressed and want to let everyone here know that Hirt's gardens went above and beyond correcting the error, and want to encourage everyone here to consider ordering plants as we begin 2021 surrounded by the bleakness and harsh reality of a pandemic going on for over a year. How better to make a statement than to surround ourselves with a new, living plant to nurture and bring color during the winter. And on top of that, you will be supporting an American company which is needed more than ever in our life time.
And for those that already know me, the plant sent by Hirt's garden was the Ficus benghalensis, Audrey Banyan tree, which is significant because our bitch gave birth to three puppies last Memorial Day weekend, and the boy we kept to raise has a registered name of Sacred Banyan. I never thought in my wildest dreams we could grow a Banyan tree, but alas Hirt's garden made it all possible. A perfect addition, since we have a volunteer Coastal redwood sprout last summer and the redwood is in the Sequoia family with our other litter mate named Mighty Sequoia.
