Guarantee and Credit Policy
Gardens Plus is a family (plus great staff) run business. All plants are personally dug, labeled and packaged by us just prior to shipping them out.  We only ship #1 quality stock grown in zone 5b.  Your satisfaction is what our business is based on. We guarantee that every plant that leaves our nursery is in perfect health, a great value and true to its name.   Most of our plants are grown on our property.  If you have never ordered through the mail before, don't worry.  If you are worried see our comments section from previous customers.  The only difference is, the plant is shipped with less or no dirt and no pot to save on shipping weight.  Your daylily is washed and foliage may be trimmed.  Remember there are various different sizes (mini's to large tetraploids) and plants reflect this.  Please note the picture shows single roots; we ship at least DOUBLES unless noted. Hosta are carefully wrapped to help protect the leaves.  If you are in any way not satisfied, please contact us as soon as possible. We will not substitute varieties unless you have listed them on your order form.  Gardens Plus can not be responsible once delievered if your package is stolen.  Please have someone home to accept the parcel from Canada Post.  We email expected date of arrival always if you provide an email address.
If I run short of any selections I  will replace plants shorted with those off your substitution list of equal or greater value and similar size and colour if you list them for us.  If you prefer to not have varieties substituted just advise us on the form and we will send a cheque or credit your credit card. 

Gift Certificates
We also offer Gift Certificates all season long.  They make a perfect gift for any gardener on your list!  Provide us with the details and we will send the certificate with a gift card and copy of our current catalogue. You can choose any dollar value or even a plant or two {If you email us the details we can let you know the total}.  Those plant certificates bought off season will be shipped in the spring.  We always consider the address/zone they are going to and can work out the details with the recipient. 

Shipping/handling
    We ship using Expedited Post.  We ship on Mondays/Tuesdays, so that you will likely have your package for the weekend.   If you provide us with your email address we will send a quick note to give you a heads up - so you can prepare to receive it. 
     We find best results to start shipping from here once they have started to grow in the later spring.  Depending on the season prefer to ship from May to early July and mid August to late September for most Canadian zones (if you would like it later just ask - but better to get perennials in 6-8 weeks before frost).   We ship orders out in the order we receive them (also considering what zone you live in and any dates you indicate if later than scheduled).   If you are planning on being away in May or June please let us know.  Please add shipping to the cost of your order or see below for min. / max.  If purchasing plants and Gift Certificates together do not add shipping on the certificate value. For ON & QC for orders under $130.00 add  $13.00 over $130.01 add 10% and Other provinces orders under $160.00 add  $16.00 over $160.01 add 10%. ** Please note some of the large-extra large Hosta there is a additional charge due to the size of the plant/box at this time of year.  If you pay by visa or MC we would just charge at cost.  Usually 2-3$ more. 
Express Post is also available for quote just ask.  Usually 1.5 to 2 times the rate.
