4. Plants and Perishable Goods
Plants are living products and require ongoing care.
Because plant health is affected by factors outside our control, change-of-mind returns on plants are generally not accepted after they leave our premises.
Returns or claims relating to plant health may only be considered where:

-
The plant was not as described at the time of sale
We may request:
-
Photos
-
Care information

Watering history

Planting details

Inspection of the plant
Normal plant stress, transplant shock, leaf drop, weather damage, pest damage, or poor care after purchase are not considered faults.
Natural variation in plants does not constitute a defect.

Returns are generally not accepted for bulk materials once delivered or collected.
This includes:
-
Soil

Mulch

Gravel

Decorative stone

Special order, custom-made, made-to-order, and supplier-ordered products are generally non-refundable.
