Shipping Division 
Unlike many of the larger mailorder nurseries, Plant Delights grows its own plants. When your order is ready to ship, our crew of shippers pulls your order...usually a few days prior to shipment. The orders are then staged by ship date in an adjacent greenhouse until they are ready to pack. Our shippers are experts in packing your plants so that they arrive in the best condition possible. If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your interest!
