Safety Procedures

We’ve implemented safety protocols to minimize contact and keep our customers and staff safe during this challenging time. This includes extra cleaning measures and maintaining social distance. Read our comprehensive safety plan

 

Failure to Pick-up


The Shop in the Garden has limited space to hold orders for an extended period of time. Orders that have not been picked up will be held in the Shop in the Garden for you to pick-up for one month after you have been notified that your order is ready for pickup. After that, your purchase price will be considered a donation to the Garden and you will forfeit your purchase. Please keep in mind that plants may no longer be in the condition that they were sold if not picked up in a timely manner.
