📦 Postage & Shipping Information
All plants are carefully prepared and packaged to ensure they arrive safely and in excellent condition.
Orders are lovingly packed and dispatched on Mondays only, to help ensure they arrive before the following weekend, as our shop is closed on Tuesdays.
To ensure same-week dispatch, orders must be placed by midnight Sunday.
If Monday falls on a public holiday, dispatch will not take place until the following Monday. While we always do our best to send orders promptly, should any unexpected lengthy delays occur, we’ll be in touch to let you know.
Shipping Options
At checkout, you can choose between the following postage options:
Bare Root Shipping (Most Economical Option):
Most soil is removed to reduce weight, and roots are securely wrapped in either sphagnum moss or damp shredded paper. This is the most cost-effective way to ship plants.
Potted Shipping (Where Possible):
Plants may also be sent in their original nursery pots with soil intact. Shipping for this option is calculated by weight and will be more expensive. However, plants generally arrive with less stress and there is no need to pot them up on arrival.
Simply select your preferred shipping method at checkout.
Please note: Due to plant import restrictions, we are only able to ship to WA, NT, or TAS if prior arrangements have been made.
