Freighting Plants

Please note: We have a minimum plant order of $35 (unless you are picking up plants).

Paying For Your Order

Freight costs are added after you have placed your order. Please note: Freight is added manually. We will send you a final invoice so please don’t pay us until you receive that. Because we are a small family business with other commitments, this process can take up to 48 hours. Thank you for your patience.

Plants and freight must be paid for before plants are sent (which is every Tuesday) following receipt of payment.

Larger grades will need to be costed on a case-by-case basis. Some of our trees can only be freighted during the winter months when they have lost their leaves. Please contact us.

Plants ordered and picked up will receive a 20% discount. This will be calculated after you have placed your order, so please don’t pay us until you receive that.

We do not freight Heirloom tomato plants, sorry.

We are regularly adding new stock to our shop. If you are looking for a particular plant or see something in our social media posts that you like please contact us and we will try to help.

Mailing Day 

Plants are usually sent on Tuesdays. Freight is generally overnight for the North Island and 2-3 days for the South Island. Please allow an extra 1-2 days for rural areas. Physical addresses only – no P.O. boxes. All our plants are shipped with Aramex.

Box Sizes

A bit about box sizes:

Mini: This will hold up to 6 x 9 cm pots or 3 x 1-liter pots plus 2 x 9 cm pots. It can hold 2 x 1.25-liter pots but many plants in this size will be too tall. We will always try to fit plants into the cheapest option for our customers.

Small: This will hold 12 x 9 cm pots or 9 x 1 liter pots or 6 x 1.25 liter pots and various combinations of these.

Medium: These have a bit more height for taller shrubs. They will fit 20 x 9 cm pots or 12 x 1 liter pots or 9- 10 1.25 liter / Pb 2.

Large: Plenty of head space for tall shrubs and some small trees. Holds 6-7 Pb 5’s or 12- 13 Pb 2’s.
