Admittedly, I know nothing about plants or gardening but the maths says each plant is around £14.99.
I've just had a look at this and they are all quite cheap plants, easily available. I could maybe understand it if they were all established shrubs or trees - still wouldn't pay it - but these could all be sourced for a tiny fraction of that cost, in fact most could be grown from seed.
I’ve just had an email about them and so had a quick look. All I can say is “no way, Jose!” At that price I expected to see wooden troughs or the like, not plants.
For that price, I would want a professional gardener to bring them, plant them and tidy up the whole garden. Then go away and return with a full landscaped garden plan, which he/she would undertake for me, complete with new paving and a garden pod.
Just told hubby and his comment was unprintable.

Good heavens! I watched Dragon's den and I thought that they were offering big wooden planters full of mature flowers and plants for people to buy to quickly brighten up a dull patio or back yard, not just plants that are ready to go into your flowerbeds - I mean what's new about that? Yes I get it that they curate a selection to suit your surroundings and how they can tell you what plants suit the type of soil you have, but surely all that information is available for nothing online. A quick and lazy solution for people who've got money to throw around, with that in mind then QVC's a good fit. I'm actually staggered at the prices, I didn't think they'd come cheap but for that sort of money I'd expect not to have to plant the blessed things myself!
Surely it is a mistake?
It was mentioned on the show by one of the dragons that an easy garden solution like this would appeal mostly to the millennials of this world, and I'm sure it was said that a QVC audience was not that and I agree. Of course we can't give a sweeping generalisation but I would've thought that more older folk have been brought up in households where gardening was regular family activity and now retired know a fair bit about plants and how to care for them. I'll count myself in this although I'm not lucky enough to have a garden these days, however when I was young there was no decking, hot tubs, built in barbecues, massive trampolines and the like for the kids. There'd be a small shed, maybe a greenhouse or a cold frame but definitely not a wooden house at the end of the garden containing a bar, settees and various other accoutrements! Despite my saying that QVC is a good outlet for those who have plenty of money to throw around, I think they'd be more likely to throw £300+ at a hairdryer than they would on something that takes away from a pastime they enjoy eg gardening. I think they'd be better off advertising in the glossy mags and Sunday supplements or better still reducing their insane prices!Dig featured on Dragons’ Den last night. I recorded it and have just watched it. Sara Davis invested in them and mentioned QVC so that’s the reason that Dig have arrived on the channel. She asked for 15% of their business, which was 3 times what they originally offered, and invested £75k with them.
I wonder how long they’ll stay with QVC though as they’re so overpriced?
