Terms and Conditions
Payment in full, including shipping costs must accompany each mail order. Please send a check or money order in U.S.A. currency. Mastercard or Visa accepted. We do not accept C.O.D. or cash orders. A $15.00 fee is imposed on all returned checks.

Hardiness
All our plants are hardy here in Zone 4/5 (U.S.D.A.) unless otherwise noted. Blooming dates reflect our Maine location.

Availability
Of course we try to plan our inventory to fill all your requests. However, circumstances can and do change with living plants. All orders are subject to availability of good quality plant material. With out comprehensive stock of over 1000 different plants grown, we obviously cannot guarantee to be able to supply all those requested at any one time. Therefore, we suggest listing substitutions when placing an order.

Guarantee
We try to ship only during the cool months in spring and fall, however we cannot be responsible for damage to plants enroute due to heat. We also cannot replace lost by causes over which we have no control, such as drought, extreme heat or cold, possible neglect or winterkill. Claims will receive consideration only when made within ten days after delivery.

Shipping
All plants are shipped freshly dug or from containers, depending upon the season. We now ship all summer, April to November.

If you wish, you may pick up your order when you visit us. Please notify us at least a week in advance when you plan to pick up your order.

Peaonia orders can be placed anytime but due to their growth habit they will only be shipped in September (subject to weather).

Iris will be shipped in the spring and the fall. During the peak of their growth, when foliage is 5" or greater, shipping will be paused until fall. (subject to weather).

Packed With Care!

We take great pride in our careful packaging techniques. We use fresh sphagnum peat moss fibers harvested right here. With the perfect shipping environment our bare rooted plant systems arrive fresh and ready to be planted in your garden.

What size plants do you ship?

Our plants are grown in a variety of ways here at the nursery. We have a large amount of field stock as well as containerized plant material. The plants we ship to our mail order customers are the same plants that our walk-in retail customers choose from. We do not ship seedling size plants; we guarantee all our perennials are at least two years old. Our container stock is grown in either a two-quart container (5-inch square), or a tree band (3.5-inch square). The size of each plant depends on the nature of its growth habit and dormancy cycle. On average, our shipped bare-rooted plants are about the size of an average fist.

How are your plants shipped?

When preparing orders for shipment, we adhere to a specific process for each plant. In the case of containerized material, plants are extracted from the pots or dug from field production and bare-rooted. The plant is then wrapped in damp sphagnum peat moss and packaged by species including plant tags. 

If ordering in late spring or fall, foliage and/or roots may be pruned for shipping. Certain wildflowers or delicate plants may be shipped in their containers to protect tender roots or bulblets. 

And finally, depending on specific state regulations some perennials may arrive pre-dipped in a pesticide solution as mandated by law.

What is your guarantee policy?

 We reserve the right to refuse any order should circumstances make this necessary. Orders are booked on the understanding that the customer accepts our terms. We guarantee all our plants to be true to name and will replace any nursery stock that proves otherwise. Our liability in all cases is limited to the purchase price of the plants. We try to ship only during the cool months in spring and fall, however we cannot be responsible for damage to plants enroute due to heat. We also cannot replace stock lost due to causes such as drought, extreme heat or cold, possible neglect, or winterkill. Claims of plant damage will receive consideration only when made within ten days after delivery. Our plants are annually inspected by the Maine State Department of Agriculture, Division of Horticulture.
