Herb Plant Specifications and Shipping
|
|
We grow herb plants in either 2.5" pots or 2.5"
deep pots. These pot sizes filled with our own
growing medium produces strong plants with
elaborate root systems, deep green leaves, and
strong healthy stems.

Before, the herb plants are packaged into boxes the
root ball is secured within the pot using kraft paper
and rubber bands. This eliminates soil spillage
during transit while allowing proper circulation to
the root system.

example to show how the majority of our plants
are prepared prior to shipping).

Lastly, the annual herb plants are secured within
the shipping box with recycled peanuts(picture on
right). These peanuts are 100% recycled material
and are waterproof. Peanuts fill the void in
between objects constricting the amount of
movement within the box, allowing the plants to be
in prime condition upon arrival.
In a 6' upside down drop the peanuts kept the
plants in the exact same position and condition, as
they were originally packed. While, mail carriers
are not that harsh on packages, we decided to go
the extra mile to insure plants are in top condition
upon arrival.

Herb Plants ship from April 1 - July 16
We do not ship herb plants when the areas along the transit route are experiencing
temperatures 32 degrees or below.
When, we halt shipping plants due to weather related problems these plants will ship, as
soon as, ideal conditions prevail.
