If your tree or shrub has died, dig up the plant and bring it in with your receipt. We like to see the specimen to attempt to figure out what went wrong and to prevent you from losing a second plant. Each plant is only guaranteed once. Receipts are required for replacing of guaranteed plant material.

The tree or shrub I purchased from you is doing poorly. What do I do?

Bring in a sample of the plant and some pictures of it in your yard or garden so we can try to diagnose the problem. If we can’t figure it out from that, we’ll schedule a time to come out and take a look at it in person.

What is your return policy for plant material?

Plants must be returned within one week of purchase and preferably within a day or two. Refunds will only be given if plants have been properly maintained with water and are still in their original pots. We reserve the right to refuse any return of plant material.

I want custom planters made, can you do that and how long will it take?

Yes we do custom plantings in pots. Plantings are done on a first come, first serve basis so schedule your planting early. In the busiest part of the spring it can take up to two weeks. In the off season it usually only takes a few days. You can either come in, speak to one of our designers and pick out your plants, or you can give us color preferences and lighting conditions and we’ll make the plant selection for you.

I have little black bugs flying around my houseplants. What are they and how do I get rid of them?

You have fungus gnats (aka fruit flies). Usually they like wet soil so don’t overwater and don’t keep excess water in saucers. We also sell a few products to control them.

How much do you charge for planting a tree and when can I get it planted?

Our planting fee is 60% the cost of the tree with a minimum of $100 planting fee. There is also a delivery charge on top of that (delivery charges vary by location). We plant on a first come, first served basis. Usually we are about 1-2 weeks out for planting but in the height of the spring we can be up to 4 weeks out. We can give you a more accurate wait time when you purchase your tree.

To draw up a plan for you it costs $150.00.

You can come to us anytime, but the spring planting schedule fills up quickly so early in the year or even in the late fall can be the better times so you can get on the schedule.

I paid for a class but I can’t make it. What do I do?

Things come up, people get sick. Please give us as much notice as possible if you are unable to attend a class. If you have paid in advance we will provide the materials and any handouts that were presented at the class for you to pick up at another time. Because we need to pre-order materials for the classes, we cannot apply the fee for the class to another future class but we will try to accommodate you as much as possible.

How many people are in each class?

Each class is unique and can accommodate a different number of people. It is up to the instructor of the class to determine an actual limit on the number of people the class can handle.
