We ship bare root plants kept fully dormant, in cold storage, from January through mid June. We ship potted plants January through June and in the Autumn. We ship books, supplies and gift certificates year round.

WEST OF THE ROCKIES - We ship plants by choosing the best ground service for you. The only season we ship bare root plants is January through Mid-June and only when the weather is above freezing. (see BEST TIMES TO RECEIVE YOUR BARE ROOT AND POTTED PLANTS.) We can send books and supplies all year. Although service may be quicker, allow up to two to three weeks for order processing and delivery.

EAST OF THE ROCKIES - We offer a choice of three shipping methods: Zone Skipping, Ground shipping or expedited service.

Option 1: Zone Skipping Saves You Money!
Many of our plants are large, which is great in all ways except they are very expensive to ship long distances. Zone skipping is where we contract an experienced trucking firm that has team drivers who drive day and night and deliver the packaged orders in about three days to an eastern regional UPS hub where they are then delivered in two to three days to you. This is a little quicker than regular ground shipping and a lot less expensive.

Option 2: Regular Shipping without Zone Skipping!
This option is if you missed the zone skip dates or prefer to choose a different date of shipment! Let us choose the ship time or you choose. UPS comes to our door and delivers to you, usually in a week or less. This option works fine when you order at the appropriate time for your area. If you order late and the weather is getting too warm, we suggest and sometimes only guarantee the plants if you have them shipped by 3 day air.

Option 3: Three Day Air Shipping!
The best choice for those of you who want earlier shipment or are ordering late in the season for your area.The reduced transit-time is easier on your plants. Our air service also allows you to choose when you would prefer to have your plants shipped. It's expensive especially for heavy potted items. Call us at 360-496-6400 for a price quote.
