Your order will be despatched as soon as possible. Seeds, books and hardware will be posted 7 to 10 working days

packaging.

advises you of the approximate delivery date of goods to follow. If you will be away during this time, please ring

$30. If an item is late being delivered to us but is less than two weeks away, we will post your order, advise you of
the delay and send the back-ordered item at no extra handling charge. If an item is unavailable for more than two
weeks we will contact you or not charge you for the item and advise when the goods will be available again. Our
website is updated daily with stock availability.

REFUNDS/RETURNS/GUARANTEE

Products are despatched in excellent condition but if damaged in the post, or for any other problems with your
order please contact us immediately and we will replace any damaged items. Plants travel well in the post and many
of our items are dormant when they arrive so check your instruction sheet for plant care instructions. If within 90
days of receipt of live plants, they are not performing as we have outlined please contact us and we will replace
them if still available, refund the amount or give you a credit as you advise.
