A Note about Shipping Rates: We believe that UPS is THE MOST dependable choice for delivering healthy plants as quickly as possible.

We feel your pain about shipping costs but you will receive excellent, personal customer service and beautifully tended, certified, organic Herb Plants, grown with love and delivered as quickly as possible. Thank you for supporting a small family business!!

Occasionally, customers ask us about priority mail as a shipping option, but due to our extremely rural location, our tiny post office is simply not equipped to handle our shipping volume and it has been our experience that USPS is simply not as dependable for prompt and safe plant delivery.

We ship well established, healthy plants and we want them to look that way when they arrive at your doorstep and we truly believe that fast, efficient shipping is a worthwhile investment toward this goal.
