Winter Packing & Shipping 2018-2019

Beginning November 7th, Carter and Holmes will be charging our Winter Packing Charge of $3.50 per plant shipment, instead of our regular $2.50 packing charge. We will be using Heat Packs as needed in order for plants to arrive safely, and when we do so we will charge an additional $0.95. Even though a box may be headed for a warm weather destination, many of our boxes pass through hubs in colder locations.
Thank you!
