When will my order be processed

Orders coming in during spring and fall for that season’s shipping are generally charged the week before shipping. Early orders booked for fall shipping may be processed mid to late September for shipping in October. Early orders booked for March to early April shipping may be processed mid to late February. Otherwise, most orders are generally charged the week before shipping. Orders received using PayPal accounts may be charged before the 30-day time preauthorization expires.

Product guarantee

The Greenwood Nursery Stress Free Guarantee. We are dedicated to working with our customers to help them achieve success with their Greenwood purchases. With proper care and attention, new plants will leaf out and grow during the first growing season and years beyond. At Greenwood Nursery we do our best to ship plant stock that is healthy, in planting condition at the best time for the delivery location.

Should any plant or package arrive damaged, notify us within 48 hours of delivery. A photo may be necessary to document the damage as well as file a report with the shipping carrier. The damaged plants will be replaced as quickly as possible. Pictures may be required.

Product guarantee

Plants on Close-Out or Clearance – Limited Guarantee:

Plants on Close-Out or Clearance are based on current in-stock inventory and will ship as quickly as possible (most within the following week). Plants are guaranteed to arrive healthy, dormant, and ready for planting in the ground. Due to extreme discounts, we cannot guarantee the plants beyond that.

Dormant Plant Guarantee:

In the event that a deciduous plant dies within 1 year after delivery, Greenwood’s Stress Free Guarantee provides for a one-time replacement or store credit for the plant purchase. Shipping charges may apply when spring planted plants grow but do not survive winter. Does not apply to Close-Outs or Clearances.

Fall-shipped dormant plants will emerge by the following mid to late spring. Spring plants shipped dormant generally emerge within 8 weeks from planting.

Please contact us at that time if your plants are not leafing out within their expected time frame. Pictures may be required, as they also help us work with customers to determine any potential growing issues.

NOTE: Please contact us if you experience any problems with your plants. We are here to help and will work with you any way that we can to get your plants on the road to successβ€”or provide replacement plants if necessary. Give us the opportunity to help!

Guarantee may be voided for the following reasons:

Plants damaged due to weather, animals, negligence, shipping outside of recommended planting zones, shipping outside of recommended shipping times, mechanical or other environmental issues.

How will my order ship?

Ordering Information

Orders may be placed at any time during the year. We will schedule them into the next available shipping week for your delivery area. Bare root plants begin shipping in mid to late October and continue until the latter part of June. Container plants and ground covers ship year-round according to availability. As we sell out of plant varieties, we begin booking them for shipping the following spring or fall season, depending on the specific plant variety.

Payment Information

We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, money orders, personal checks, and PayPal. Personal check orders require 14 days to clear before shipping. Sales tax is charged on orders shipping within the State of Tennessee. Any fees incurred by the customer on a purchase (e.g., card overdraft fees) will be the customer’s responsibility.

Greenwood Nursery will not be responsible for anything beyond the purchase price of the plants. Our plants are grown in fields, on container yards, and in open greenhouses, where they may be exposed to elements such as insects or chemicals. While we limit chemical use, as a certified nursery, we are required to follow Tennessee state agriculture guidelines. Any legal matters will be handled in McMinnville, TN.

Prices

Prices are set by variety and then by size. If you notice a price that seems inconsistent with our pricing structure, please let us know.

Disclaimer: While we do our best to publish accurate pricing, human error may occur. If a product is incorrectly priced, we will correct the price before the customer is charged and notify the customer of the correction. If you see a strange price listed, please contact us so we can correct it. We appreciate your help.

Pricing is subject to change at any time. Quantity discounts apply only to multiple purchases of a single variety. Due to increasing energy costs, prices and delivery charges are subject to change.

Visiting Greenwood Nursery

Greenwood Nursery operates as a wholesale/mail-order facility and does not have a retail atmosphere for customers to browse and select their own plants. However, our staff is happy to arrange order pickups for customers in the middle Tennessee area. If you plan to be in our area and would like to pick up your order, please note this in the comment box when placing your order.

WhenΒ should I order

Orders may be shipped through UPS or USPS (post office). We will select the best method of shipping based on ordered items. Please include both your mailing and shipping addresses to avoid delays.Β 

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. Our bare root plants are dipped in a terra sorb solution (water retention gel), wrapped in shredded paper and, then,Β sealed in plastic wrap to ensure freshness. We must point out thatΒ some plantsΒ may not bloom the first year after planting but shouldΒ the following year.

Our lilies and some ferns will ship as dormant bare bulbs or tubersΒ packed in peat moss. Trees, shrubs, perennials, ground covers are shipped bare root orΒ potted. On the individual plant page in the Shipping Details section, you will find how that particular variety of plant is sold (bareΒ root or potted) and what size (bare root plants are notedΒ in height range and potted are noted as pot size)

Orders containing both plants and hard goods will be held until order can ship as complete. Unless otherwise requested.

When will my order ship?

Orders containing only hard goods generally ship right away as
inventory allows. Those items ship year around and generally within one week.

When ordering plants during fall or spring shipping, we will set your order for theΒ next available shipping week appropriate for your location. April and May are our busiest months and sometimes shipping delays happen. Plants may arrive later than scheduled to us or the shipping department may get behind. This is not the normal, but does sometimes happen. Please bear with us if this happens. We do not
typically charge your order until the week before we are able to ship.

Our bare root (field grown) trees and shrubs normally come into the facility for shipping November, December and January (as available for fall shipping) and February, March, April and May (as available for spring shipping).

An example ofΒ month by month shippingΒ would be as follows as plants are available:

January - zones 9 - 10Β 

February - zones 8 - 10Β 

March - zones 7 - 10

April - zones 6 - 10

May - zones 5 - 9

June - zones 3 - 8

JulyΒ - zones 3 - 7

August - zones 4 - 7

September - zones 5 - 8

October - zones 5 (some areas) - 9

November - zones 6 (some areas)Β - 10Β 

December - zones 8 - 10

Methods of shippingΒ and cost

We ship orders through UPS and the U.S. Post Office (Priority Mail) and select the most effective way to transport your order to you in a timely manner.Β UPS shipping addresses must contain a physical street address, so please include both your mailing and physical addresses to avoid delays.Β 

Customers are emailed tracking information for their orders within 24 hours of order being shipped. Once picked up or delivered to carrier, it becomes property of the customer. Greenwood does not monitor packages once shipped. We have no indication if a package is delayed or arrives with exterior box damage. In most cases, damage to the outside of the box does not mean that plants would be damaged. Please contact Greenwood
Nursery for any assistance.

Greenwood NurseryΒ cannot be held responsible for delivery problems due to incorrect addresses. Please double check that you have typed in the correct name, full address and ZIP code information. We can only supply the information that we receive from the customer. When an incorrect delivery address is provided and an order returned because it cannot be delivered, a second shipping fee will be charged to reship the order.

Please note: It is up to Greenwood Nursery to issue a call tag for any package. Any packages shipped to Greenwood Nursery as freight collect will be billed back to the customer.

Alaska orders:Β Most plantΒ orders going to AlaskaΒ can be sent through Priority Mail. We will estimate shipping charges and additional charges may apply.

MayΒ IΒ specify when I want my order to ship

Yes, please let us know if you have a specific time frame that you would like for your plants to ship out. We will work with that schedule according to plant inventories

MayΒ I delay the shipment of my order

After you place your order and are issued a scheduled shipping week, if your plans change and you need to reschedule or delay the shipment of your order, please contact our Customer Service Department by calling (800) 426-0958 or by emailing customerservice@greenwoodnursery.com Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm Central Time.

Please include your order number, zip code, and name. We will make every effort to accommodate your request, but if we have already packed and shipped your order, it may not be possible to delay it.

Do you ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada or overseas

Greenwood Nursery only ships orders within the continental U.S. We no longer ship to Hawaii, Canada, overseas, or APO/FPO addresses. Some plants can be shipped to Puerto Rico, but they are shipped at the customer's risk. We cannot be responsible for any delays or quarantines.

Please inquire about shipping charges to Alaska β€” in most cases, we can ship plants there.

Agricultural Regulations

Each state has its own restrictions on shipping plants into its borders, and we must comply. Some plants may be considered invasive and may be banned in certain states or not allowed entry β€” such as fruiting plants or ornamental fruiting plants in California.

We will note these restrictions in the Shipping Details section of each plant page and keep it as up to date as possible.

What if an item arrives damaged

We will ship plants that are healthy and ready for planting. Our packaging techniques ensure the most efficient and safest delivery of your order from our location to yours. If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours of receiving the shipment by calling our Customer Service Department at (800) 426-0958 or emailing customerservice@greenwoodnursery.com.

Our office staff is available Monday through Friday, 8am–4pm Central Time. Be sure to include your order number, zip code, and name when contacting us. Save the damaged product and shipping carton, as we may need to file a damage claim with the shipping carrier, and they will require pictures of the damage. The carrier reserves the right to inspect the damaged product and carton for up to 7 days. We will immediately reschedule your replacements for the next available shipping week.

MayΒ I request that an item ship earlier for my planting zone

If an item is in stock and already shipping to another zone, we should beΒ able to ship it to your zone as well, but this service would be at your own risk.

HowΒ will I be able to track my order

As long as you have provided us with a valid email address and added us as a contact with your email provider, our shipping department will notify you by email once your order has shipped, including your UPS, FedEx or Priority Mail tracking number.

Although you will receive a tracking number, please note that it may take up to 24 hours for updated information to appear on the carrier’s website.

Greenwood Nursery is notΒ responsible for anything more than the replacement of plants purchased from usΒ that do not survive within one year as per the guarantee.
