Shipping

Seeds

Allow 5 to 10 business days for seed orders to leave the nursery. Delivery time is additional.

Within Canada: Canada Post’s Lettermail estimates are 2 business days locally, 3 within Manitoba and 4 nationally, excluding the mailing day. These are not guaranteed; some destinations take longer. Large seeds and larger orders may require parcel shipping, with delivery depending on the service selected at checkout.

International: Based on our experience, seed delivery commonly takes 1 to 3 weeks after dispatch. Customs and postal delays can take longer. Available shipping options depend on the destination.

Some seeds need a period of cold, moist stratification before germination. Depending on the season and your climate, you can sow them outdoors or stratify them indoors.

Trees and nursery plants

Trees and nursery plants ship within Canada during safe planting windows. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout from the order size and destination.

Spring shipping

Spring plant orders ship from mid April through early May, after the ground thaws and while plants are dormant or just beginning growth. Exact timing depends on the weather, the destination, and the type of plant.

Fall shipping

Fall plant orders ship from late September through mid October while the weather remains suitable for planting. Potted trees and shrubs are sent early enough to establish before winter.

Before your plants arrive, choose the planting location and prepare the site. Read our planting and care notes.
