The best plant packaging I have ever seen in 30 years!

My herbs arrived from Romence Gardens in fantastic shape. The plants were held beautifully upright with cardboard triangles inside the rectangular box. It's the best plant packaging I have ever seen in my life. Hands down! I am 63, btw, so that is saying something. I figure I started shopping on the internet in my 30s, so, 30yrs :)
