• Food enthusiasts wanting fresh, organic strawberries for culinary creations.

Planting and Care Instructions:

• Soil: Grows best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5-6.8, enriched with compost or organic matter. Avoid soggy soils to prevent root rot.

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment (1-2 times weekly), keeping soil moist but not waterlogged. Mature plants need weekly watering; use mulch to retain moisture and protect fruit.

• Sun Exposure: Loves full sun (6-8 hours daily) for optimal flowering and fruiting; tolerates light shade in hotter climates to reduce stress.

• Spacing: Plant 12-15 inches apart in rows 2-3 feet apart, or 1 plant per 10-12 inch pot for baskets. Limit runners to maintain tidy growth.

• Maintenance: Remove early flowers for 4-6 weeks after planting to strengthen plants. Feed monthly with organic fertilizers like fish emulsion during the growing season.

Shipping Live Plants

Live plants, particularly annual vegetables, can be quite delicate. To ensure their safe arrival in optimal condition, we take several precautionary measures:

1. Rigorous hardening off process: We prepare the plants to be resilient enough for their journey by gradually acclimating them to outdoor conditions.

2. Application of organic prebiotics and supplements: We treat plants with natural products to enhance their health and vigor before they make the journey.

3. Development of a strong root system: We prioritize cultivating a robust root system so the plants can quickly adapt and flourish upon arrival.

4. Custom packing materials: We use specially designed packing materials to secure and protect the plants during transit, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition.

Our live plants are sold in 3-inch pots and can be shipped to all US states, with the exception of Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington state. We utilize Priority Mail for shipping to ensure a speedy delivery and ship only on Mondays to ensure no plants languish in mailrooms over the weekend. 

Rates for Shipping Garden Plants
Delicate plants like peppers and tomatoes are expensive to ship, frequently costing more than the plants themselves!! While you can order whatever your desired quantity of plants is, our packaging is for plants in sets of 3. Thus, flat rate shipping is in multiples of 3, starting with 1-3 plants for $17. The shipping cost will auto-populate at checkout. For understanding our full plant shipping, go here.
