Payment Processing and Security

We use Square payments as our payment processor because of their security protections for both the purchaser and seller.  In addition to the security features they employ, they also accept all major credit cards.

 

If you are unfamiliar with Square you will find it quick and easy If you don't have a major credit card we also accept certified cheque or money order. Your order will be delayed as we will have to wait till we receive payment but will be glad to hold the plants that you have ordered. If you would like to pay with alternative methods contact us to make arrangements at:
