Garden center questions
Do you guarantee your plants?
Trees, shrubs and perennials from the garden center are guaranteed for one year. If one dies, bring the tag and receipt and we’ll replace it or give you store credit.
Do you deliver plants?
Yes. We deliver within 20 miles for $45, free on orders over $400, and our crew can plant them for you too.
Can you help me choose plants for my yard?
Bring photos and rough measurements to the Saturday garden clinic, or ask anyone in a green apron. For a whole-yard plan, book a free design visit.
Planning more than a few plants?
Our designers can plan the whole yard and our crew can plant it. The first visit is free.
