What to do? 'Replacement Certificate'

Posted by Dragontree 9CA (My Page) on

I don't know quite where to post this, so if you think it should be somewhere else please give me a holler.

Here is my problem :

I have a replacement cert, for about $65 from Royal Dutch Gardens. Last year they sent me a big green sack of slimy, rotten bulbs (and helped destroy what little trust I still had in online nurseries). After a great big stink (on top of the smell that came from the bag), I finally got them to issue this valuable certificate. Thought I was smart, too!

Since then, I understand that most people who get replacements from them end up with more rotten plants.

If you do a search on them, you will see they have a 100% negative rating on one garden watchdog site.

So what to do with the cert.?

I'm taking suggestions - humor appreciated!

And No, I won't trade it. I wouldn't put anyone else through this!

I would donate it to a school. The students can learn how to grow plants or how to file a report with the Better Business Bureau.

Plus You get to write it off your taxes. :)

Thanks! That is a super idea. I will check and see if any of the schools around here are interested. Thanks for cheering me up!
