Shipping Season
SEED, TOOLS and BOOKS are sent year-round. Most orders ship within 1-3 business days.
BARE ROOT PLANTS are shipped during optimal transplanting time: Spring (April-May) and Fall (Oct). Some ephemeral species are also available for summer shipping. Since our plants are field-grown, Nature sets the schedule each year as to when our season will begin and end. We fill all orders, on a first-come, first-serve basis, to the best of our ability depending on weather conditions beyond our control.
POTTED PLANTS (Trays of 32/38/50 plugs and 3-packs) typically begin shipping late April and go into June; shipping time is heavily dependent on all the species in your order being well-rooted. If winter-spring greenhouse growing conditions are favorable and all species are well-rooted at once, then we ship by order date (first come, first serve). We are a Midwest greenhouse, and due to the challenges of getting all the species in the Mix & Match and Pre-Designed Garden Kits transit-ready at the same time, we typically can't ship before early May. Early shipment requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
*We are unable to ship PLANTS (bare root or potted) outside the contiguous US or to CALIFORNIA due to regulations.
Packing
SEED is packaged in paper envelopes for small quanties, and plastic bags for large quantities. If multiple bulk qtys of seed are ordered of the same species, we pack them as one. i.e. two 1/8 oz is packed in one 1/4 oz envelope. Small qtys of seed are sent in paper padded mailers to protect the seed from being crushed during transit.
BARE ROOT PLANTS are packed in slightly moist peat moss and bagged by species. Depending on order size, we pack in paper padded mailers and cardboard boxes. We use compostable packing peanuts to help protect bare root orders; these are cornstarch-based and can be dissolved in water.
POTTED PLANTS are grown and shipped in plastic pots and trays. We pack in cardboard boxes and inserts.
Delivery
We ship using USPS, UPS and Spee Dee. UPS and Spee Dee are often used for expediting plant orders; they will not deliver to Post Office Box numbers, so please also include your street address if ordering plants. We send tracking numbers to your email address so please use a valid email address that you check regularily when you order.
