Plants by mail is not a new concept! My truck farmer grandfather was ordering tomatoes, peppers and other plants by mail nearly a hundred years ago. My father ordered roses by mail from 1940 to 1980, and I have been buying via the mail and Internet for nearly 40 years!

Buying plants via the Internet allows you quickly to choose from a wide selection of varieties--many of which you may not be able to find in your local garden center.

Herbs

Perennials

Scented
Gereniums

Here are some other reasons why buying plants and other garden goods online is a great way to grow your garden.

Garden Tools

Ultimate convenience

We ship our plants and products directly to your door. That means you don't have to wait in line at local nurseries, and risk not finding the plants you need. Plus, you'll get to enjoy more time in your garden.

One stop shopping/great selection

One of the benefits of shopping for plants online is that you can find varieties not generally available at your local garden center. Plus, you can view all available plants with a click of a mouse without driving around town hoping to find what you need.

Support and information

We provide great printed planting and care guides with each order, and provide similar guides, plus much more in the way of tips and advice on this website. You have direct access to the grower!

Competitive pricing

You'll discover that buying online (including shipping) is often no more expensive than purchasing from quality nurseries. When it comes to plants, you get what you pay for and bargain plants are often disappointing.

We guarantee what we sell

Our plants are guaranteed to be true to species and arrive in good shape. If your plants are damaged or dead, we will replace them or give you a full credit toward your next order.

We handle your credit card information carefully and with the utmost care. Our site is secured by Thawte
