Below is our 2011 approximate shipping schedule for your orders.

Zone 9-10........................................NOW (Weather Permitting)

Zone 8.............................................Mid-March

Zone 7.............................................Early April/Mid-April

Zone 6.............................................Mid-April/End of April

Zone 5.............................................Early May/Mid-May

Zone 4.............................................Mid-May/End of May

Zone 3.............................................First of June

The above schedule is approximate shipping times for hardy plants. Orders with tropical plants are sometimes held longer due to weather patterns in some zones. During shipping season we check weather patterns weekly to try our best to ship the plants when it is safe to plant them outside. Shipping plants before zone appropriate does void our plant guarantee. We will ship plants and snails during the months of December, January, and February when we feel temperatures are mild enough so the plants and snails will survive in transit. If you request for us to ship plants or snails when we feel temperatures and weather conditions are unsafe, it will void our live delivery guarantee. As always, we will hold orders here and ship them zone appropriate.



Please note, if you would like your order to ship right away then leave a comment saying "ship now" under customer comments during the checkout process. Thanks!



Also, the following plants are illegal to ship to California and will be substituted or removed from the order.

Water Hyacinth
Water Lettuce
Cabomba
Mexicana Water Lily
Variegated Giant Reed
Salvinia
