Sadly I’ve received so many dying in transit plants this year. It takes one day from shipment to get to me, I’m seriously considering not ordering from this company again next year because there is no refund policy on their plants.

I just received my order and WOW is all I can say. I have ordered from
Other companies over the past few months. Either 1/2 the plants were dead or they died shortly after. The plants today were beautiful! They were talk, thick and green. The soil was still moist and there weren’t any brown, yellow or dead leaves. I could smell the basil across the room because it was so fresh. I am a forever customer now! Thank you for sending such healthy plants!
