Shipping

Seeds

We ship worldwide by letter mail through Canada Post with just a postage stamp. Delivery time 1-3 weeks.  

The quantity of seeds specified is the minimum you'll receive. We always include some extra seeds. 

Depending on the time of year you ordered seeds and what your local climate is like, you may decide to plant them outdoors and let them stratify naturally over the winter, or you may want to stratify them indoors.

Trees

Shipping is through Canada Post Expedited Parcel. We try and keep our shipping economical, our trees average 400-500g each packed in a poly bag with some damp composted cedar sawdust. Berry bushes are a bit lighter. Our boxes range from small 4 x 4 x 20" up to large 6 x 6 x 40", and we can fit quite a few trees in a box. Fill up your cart and continue to the checkout page where you can enter your address and find the calculated shipping rate. We're just sending the estimated weight to Canada Post and they figure out the rest. 

Local pickups are available in Brandon, Manitoba - if you select that option choose a date and we'll arrange for the pickup by email.  If you live right in the city we might even just drop it off for you.   Our pickup location will be in the city of Brandon instead of directly at our nursery just west of the city. Eventually we'll do pickups here and nursery tours, but for now we setup a location nearby in Brandon and email you the arrangements to make things convenient for everyone.

Before your trees arrive, decide where you're going to plant them and it's helpful to go ahead and prepare the site. Here are some tips on planting.
