How are the plants delivered?
We use specialist couriers – like what a florist would use – to ensure plants stay fresh, upright and undamaged. To add protection we package your order into open top cardboard boxes for Auckland.
For outside of Auckland, the packages are closed. Please note that plants delivered outside of Auckland is at your own risk and some plants may spend days in darkness for long-haul shipping, therefore, stress the plant out. However, they do bounce back after a few days being in the correct environment.
What day and time will the plants be delivered?
Currently we are dispatching plants every weekday, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). You can choose a delivery date during checkout. However, please allow 48 hours for us to prepare your order.
Please let us know by email, if you would like an urgent delivery and we can see what we can do to assist.
The recipient does not need to be home to sign for delivery. Contact us if you need us to trace the delivery.

What if nobody is at home when the plant courier arrives?
We’ll follow the special delivery instructions you provided during Checkout. If no special instructions were provided, we’ll find a dry and safe spot to leave your plant and we’ll notify you of this by placing a card in your letter box.
During Checkout we ask you for the recipient’s mobile phone number in case we have problems executing the special delivery instructions.
Please note that redelivery will incur additional charges ($11.50 per redelivery attempt).
In the case of apartment buildings or similar, if you are (or the recipient is) unlikely to be there when the courier arrives, we encourage you to choose an alternative delivery address during Checkout. For example, a place of work.
Can I add a gift message?
Yes. Tell us if the order is a Gift during Checkout and add a free Message Card (and type your note).
If the plant gift is a tree / large plant, we can also add a bow to the plant. Please request during Checkout in the Special Delivery Instructions field.
