Order Form (for Plants)

Plants and Starts Shipping
Shipping Seasons:
Spring shipping runs from mid-April to the end of May.
Fall shipping runs from early September to mid-October.

Starts are available for spring shipping only.

Specify if you have a preferred ship date. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences, although we are unable to make any promises about when your plants will ship, as we are often at the mercy of the weather. Confirmation of your order will be sent to you unless the order arrives within three weeks of shipment.

Please let us know if there are dates when you will be away or unable to receive your plants – none of us want your plants to languish unattended on the stoop!
Shipping Delivery:
Plants are usually sent via UPS, although we may send small packages via U.S. Postal Service. For small orders there is no cost difference between the two methods. However, for larger orders, over 2 lbs (about 4 plants), there will be a delivery surcharge if you request that we send your parcel through the U.S.Postal Service.

Please Please! Let us know if you cannot accept delivery by UPS or USPS!

Addresses West of the Mississippi, plus FL and MN: Shipment will be by UPS 3 Day Select or US Post Priority.

Addresses East of the Mississippi: Shipment will be by UPS Ground Service, or US Post Priority.

Alaska, Hawaii, Canada or overseas: Sorry, we do not ship plants.

Delivery Address: Because we cannot guarantee delivery on an exact date you should give us an address where the box can be left even if no one is at home. Please be sure to give us your full street address, including Rd., Dr., Ave., Blvd., etc, because without this UPS may add a delivery surcharge, which we would then have to charge you for.
Seed Shipping:
Seeds are sent anytime via U.S.Postal Service. The cost is $4.50. If you so indicate on the order form, we can include your seeds with any box of plants you may have ordered, and in this case there is no separate seed shipping charge.
Canada: Add $3.00 to normal charges.
Overseas: Add $5.50 to normal charges.
 
Payment:
We accept checks, money orders, and Visa, MasterCard and Discover. We would greatly appreciate it if you do not use a credit card for orders under $20.00.
Purchase orders from institutions are accepted.
Vermont Sales Tax:
Add 6% to orders from Vermont, or those to be picked up at the nursery. Shipping charges are non-taxable, so add the tax just to your plant subtotal.
Substitutions:
It is inevitable that we will run out of certain items, and so it is most helpful to us if you give us a list of your preferred substitutes. These plants will be of equal or greater value. You can also simply tell us the type of plants you would like as substitutes, for example plants suitable for shade, for spring bloom or for an 18th century garden. We will send substitutes unless requested otherwise, in which case a credit slip or refund will be issued.
