Shopping Online

Where do I start shopping, buying or ordering online?

You can start at the shop: Shop

I want to print a list of the plants availabile online, how can I do that?

Go to the printable plant availability list.

Hours/Holidays

If the week contains a holiday, we'll check UPS to make sure there is at least a one day buffer in shipping. If there is not, you'll receive your plants the next available full week. If the Holiday is in the middle of week(July 4) , we may skip the week. We try to get the plants to you as soon as possible, but setting in the sun in Tuscon or snow in Denver is not something our plants need to experience.

Where do we ship?

Most everywhere in the Continental United States except we DO NOT SHIP to AL, ARK, DE, FLA, GA, IN, KY, LA, MISS, TEXAS, TENN, WV.

Shipping Costs

We will attempt to ship to Oregon and Virginia but there is a $25/per order phytosanitary certificate charge from the California Department of Food and Agriculture demonstrating that the plants are free of brown snails that needs to be acknowledged before we can ship your plants. This is required by certain individual states.

There is a handling charge(gathering, bagging, boxing plants and driving the 25 miles into UPS) that is $18 per order.

Then, depending on your shipping location, there is a shipping cost per plant. This is listed in the table below.(Remember, we're shipping bowling balls, not ping pong balls.)

Number of plants	California	Mountain/Pacific time	Central time	Eastern time
First plant	$6	$8	$15	$16
Second plant	$2	$3	$5	$7
For each following plant	$1	$1.5	$5	$7

Taxes

There is only sales tax if you are located in California.

Payments?

Visa, Mastercard or mail a check. Also, there's an order form you can use to fax/mail in your order, with credit card number. (It goes into the office with the dog under it, very secure.) The online order goes through Mal's Ecommerce, a secure drop box for credit cards, wonderful for small businesses with retail stores. Mal's allows us to do mail order in a safe and secure manner.

When do we ship?

We ship every Monday (or occasionally Tuesdays when overwhelmed), to prevent any delays that could possibly happen that might keep your plants in shipping over the weekend.

How do we ship?

We ship via United Parcel Service. The gallon sized plants are shipped with soil, we do not ship bare root. The plants weigh between 3-4 pounds each.

Plant Size

We only ship one gallon sized plants.
