Do you wholesale? Not at this time. If you would like us to contact you if and when we do begin offering a discount to horticultural professionals, please call or e-mail and leave your contact information, and we'll keep you in mind. Do you ship plants or seeds? No. Right now we are not equipped to ship anything, although, we may come up with a seed list for next year. We get a lot of long distance calls about the nursery, especially regarding tomato plants. We regret that we cannot afford to return these calls. You'd be surprised how quickly long distance charges add up, and also how long people tend to talk about tomatoes... (that could be me...) Please use e-mail to contact us. Can I bring my dog when I visit? We LOVE animals, but please leave yours at home or in your vehicle while you are shopping. New "friends" can cause quite a disturbance among the critters who live here. The parking area is relatively shady, and your pets should be safe in your vehicle for a short while there, if they just have to come along (I realize that some do...) They may not be safe running around the nursery, and we often have customers who are not "dog people". Do you sell goat's milk, cheese, etc? No. We do not have a license to sell dairy products. Our soap looks good enough to eat, though... What is your warranty? We warranty that our plants are healthy and true to name at the time you take possession of them. We offer no warranty beyond that, because, as a relatively small grower, we cannot afford to replace plants that die or fail to thrive as a result of neglect, improper care, improper planting, improper siting, inclement weather including but not limited to drought and late freezes, deer, voles, rabbits, Labrador Retrievers and other damaging animals. You get our meaning...so much can happen after they leave here. Please be reasonable and understand that no plant that we can produce can survive and thrive without some degree of care on your part... that is the nature of gardening, especially in these hot and droughty times... Plus, while most of the plants we grow are easy, tough and low-maintenance, there are some that are real collectors plants, which can be a bit temperamental (don't worry, I will tell you if your choices qualify..) You may or may not be successful with them. Again, that is the nature of the beast. That is the challenge. And, that is your burden as a gardener. (I still deal with that issue when I buy special plants for my garden from other nurseries. You live and learn, sometimes over and over.) If you have reason to believe that a plant you purchase from us was not healthy when you bought it, then by all means contact us in a timely manner and we'll take care of you on a case by case basis. Large volume local retailers who offer you a lifetime warranty will charge you a pretty penny for that warranty (it is included in the hefty price tag), and they are banking on statistics regarding how many people would take advantage of the warranty if the plant died, how many of them would be able to locate the receipt, etc. Please don't assume that because they offer such a warranty and I do not, that their plants or customer service are better than mine. It is a sales gimmick. I don't do gimmicks. I do plants- healthy, beautiful, wonderful plants- so buy them, enjoy them, and take care of them.
