The delivery was quick (although a little confusing upon checkout), and the communication was great. My uncle was very happy with his gift. All arrived as expected. Would recommend
Present for 13 year old grandson. He made it himself and was delighted with all the plants, scissors and bags of different stones and compost etc he received in an enormous box! Thank you
Bought two terrariums and they were both beautifully made and carefully delivered with helpful care instructions. Will buy again as they offer a great variety of products that make excellent gifts.

Extremely poor customer service
Not a good experience with this company. Firstly our biosphere arrived with a lot of condensation, which we swiftly wiped away. We also left the cork lid off to dry it out a bit. However after a few days a significant amount of mould built up on the plants - we had to throw them all out eventually as they were rotten, despite being in a room with the recommended humidty.
We contacted the company and they apologised and said they would send us new plants. These never arrived and have now ignored our emails for months.
Really poorly customer service and highly recommend trying other providers

Company in Liquidation
Bought a present for a relative for Xmas, as others plants have gone mouldy and no response back from company. Having looked them up on companies house (TERRARIUM UK LTD), they have gone into liquidation, so by all means register as a creditor, but wouldn’t expect to get anything back. Certainly if the website is still live do not place any new orders, and if you have the ability claim a charge back on your credit card for unfulfilled orders.

Scam company
Scam company. Got bought an ecosphere for Christmas, it was really expensive but seemed worth it. Beautiful when it arrived but the plants rotted after only 2 weeks despite us not watering it. Initially they seemed really helpful but now we can’t get hold of them. Initially I assumed they’d gone bust but they’re still advertising on Instagram. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

Does the Urban Botanist still exist? Or given up caring?
Like many others who have posted recently, I have tried to contact the Urban Botanist to complain about 2 things - a bonsai that has already died after only 3 weeks despite following their instructions, and the short battery life of the supplied fairy lights. It seems that this company has either folded (no sign on Company's House) or really has decided not to bother with any customer care. Phone numbers do not work, emails are returned with an auto-message regarding Christmas deliveries only . I would urge them to sort their act out AND for others to look elsewhere. Very disappointed.

I very rarely leave reviews but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do.
I ordered an ecosphere for my wife's birthday and it's already started to wilt and die.
I called the Urban Botanist's number and was asked to send pictures via email. I did this and heard nothing back.
I've sent 4 emails now with no reply and have tried to call them today but their number isn't working.
Their Instagram seems to be functioning still though, so I assume their in business.
Really bad customer service so far and very disappointed with a plant that should be 'self watering' and require little care.
As it stands. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
