Basis of the Sale

All orders and purchases made through this site are governed by the terms and conditions set out here. You should read and understand these terms because they affect your rights and liabilities. These terms describe the basis for purchase by you and sale by us of the products described on this web site.

The availability, price and colour of plants we sell may vary according to seasonal and market availability. We will endeavour to confirm these details when we confirm your order for the plants, or prior to delivery. If there have been any material variations, you will have the option of cancelling your order. The one exception is Combo Packages. At times it may be necessary to substitute one or more items in a combo package. This will be done at our discretion, and we will make every attempt to provide you with a plant of comparable hardiness, style or colour.

You agree to pay all charges payable for your order. We reserve the right to limit the quantity of items that you may buy. We also reserve the right to cancel orders at our discretion. Orders are normally accepted if the products are available, the order reflects current pricing, you are based in the Delivery Area and your credit or PayPal account is authorized for the transaction.

A note about shipping: We ship from mid-April until the end of October. Order anytime. Until spring shipping begins, we'll take care of your plants for you. (Check our home page in April to find out when spring shipping begins.) (Currently, we do not "hold orders back": orders placed by October 31 will be shipped the same year.)

 

Pricing

All prices listed are in Canadian dollars, and all charges will be processed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise notified. All prices listed on this site are subject to confirmation. Where a price on the website may be different than a price in any promotional materials may differ, the price on the website will prevail.

 

Payment Terms

We will charge your PayPal or credit card account for payment upon receipt of order. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the right payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the products from your account on delivery of the products to you, we can cancel the order or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have.

 

Delivery

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver items within any time indicated. It is important that the delivery address on your order is accurate, and your order email is correct. We are not responsible for delivery delays beyond our control. We will endeavour to notify users if delivery is delayed. All items are delivered by a third party, and delivery is governed by their shipping contracts. We reserve the right not to ship to certain addresses, or accept liability if the address is incomplete, or incorrect. We do not redirect deliveries.

 

Risk and Ownership

Risk of damage to or loss of the products passes to you at the time of delivery to you or, if you fail to take delivery at the agreed time, the time when we tried to deliver. You will only own the products once they have been successfully delivered and when we have received cleared payment in full. Products supplied are not for resale.

 

Returns Policy

Cancellations

You may cancel your order within 24 hours of placing it, subject to an administrative fee of 10% of your order, unless the order has already been shipped, in which case, it cannot be cancelled. You may cancel your order within 48 hours, subject to a restocking fee of 15% of your order, unless the order has been shipped, in which case, it cannot be cancelled. Shipped orders cannot be cancelled, as it is not possible for you to return the plants to us, in the same condition that they were shipped. Please contact us at [email protected] to cancel your order.

 

Returns

Before you contact us, please read our terms and conditions regarding returns. The six "Return Exceptions" listed here are adhered to, without exception. If we okay a return, your must take steps to ensure that the plant arrives alive. Please water the soil (not the leaves or stems) before shipping; ensure the plant is in the pot it was shipped in, and with the original soil; and package the plant in the same way it was packaged when you received it from us. If the plant comes back to us damaged, dried out, dead, or it has been divided or trimmed, a refund will not be issued.

Return Exceptions:

  1. Plant varieties: All varieties of Actinidia, Bamboo, Clematis, Ribes, Roses, Sambucus, Syringa, and Wisteria will not be considered for return.
  2. Change of Mind: Please research the plants you plan to order, before ordering. It’s important to know if something will work in your garden. We do not accept returns based on hindsight.
  3. Expectations about plant size: We are a propagation nursery, and sell “Econoplants” and “Turboplants”, in 3” and 5” pots, respectively. When you think about the plants that would fit in pots this size, you’ll realize that they are young plants. The photographs on product pages are of established plants, so that you can make an informed choice about how each product will work in your garden. It takes a few years for plants to grow to maturity. On every product page, there is a link in bright pink, right above the pot size choice dropdown: Want to know what each pot size looks like?, which links directly to our pot size page. This gives you a very good idea of the size of plants you will receive. We will not consider returns based on plant size.
  4. Minor quality defects: Defects such as broken secondary stems, some leaf spot, and minor leaf damage due to insects are not conditions for return. We always select the best plants for everyone, but some in-transit or nursery quality defects do occur. Please, check your plants when they arrive. Keep them out of the sun and wind to allow them to adjust to your climate conditions for a few days.  When you plant them, water them well, avoid watering the leaves, and give them some love. Any minor defects will turn around quickly. A note about loose soil: Don’t be concerned if some soil has escaped from the plant bags, and is loose soil in the box. It doesn’t impact the health or growth rate of your plant, and is not a quality defect. (If soil has become loose, the plant’s roots hadn’t yet permeated it, which means it wasn’t using that bit of soil.)
  5. Ordering plants that are only to be shipped to Ontario and Quebec: If you live outside of these two provinces, any plant that you order is "at your own risk", which means all warranties are void, and plants will not be accepted for return, or refund.
  6. Carrier issue: We only use Canada Post. We're sorry, but it isn't possible for us to use other carriers at this time. If Canada Post just doesn't work for you, please cancel your order within 24 hours of placing it (subject to $10.00 administrative fee), to avoid a restocking fee.

Warranty

We aim to provide high quality plants and products to our customers.

Plants are warrantied for a period of seven (7) days after they have been received by the purchaser. If the plant should die of natural causes up to seven days after they have been delivered, we will replace it free of charge (although we will have to charge for delivery). We further undertake that they will be in good condition at the time of delivery and will be of the type ordered, or if that type is not available, we will let you know by email and, if possible, suggest a suitable alternative that is available. If you do not want the alternative suggested, you will be entitled to order another plant, or cancel your order.
