1)
Come in, call, email or fax.
Drop-ins at our Colma
facility are welcome any time during operating
hours.
Although many items are seasonal, we try to keep a large selection of
trees, shrubs and ground covers in stock for immediate purchase. We also
welcome inquiries about the availability of any particular item.
You can also order your plants ahead of time so that we can have them assembled before you
arrive. See Will Call.
Because we are wholesale only, the nursery is not open to the general
public. Should any of your clients want to see their plant material first,
we encourage you to escort them. At no time do we encourage our customers
to send their clients to the nursery on their own. 
2)
Specify order or inquiry/price quote
When contacting us, please specify whether you are placing an order,
inquiring about price and availability or all of the above.
When we receive your order we will furnish a price quote. We will also
furnish details regarding plant availability.
Because we are both growers and brokers we will source those items on
your list, which may not currently be in our inventory and provide pricing
of materials (plants) from our vendors. Plants that we receive from outside
agencies may be limited in quantity and therefore subject to availability.
Also, please be aware that pricing may fluctuate from vendor to vendor.
We encourage you to request a quote before or at the time of placing
your order.
3) List plants and specifications
In placing your order/inquiry, the following information is required:
Quantity
Size by container typically, or by trunk caliper/tree height if
applicable
-
(typical container sizes: 1 gal., 5 gal., 15 gal., 24" box, etc.)
-
Trunk caliper is measured in inches, tree height in feet
Plant botanical name (genus and species), with variety and form
if applicable
-
e.g. Plumbago auriculata (genus & species)
-
e.g. Pittosporum undulatum std. (form)
-
e.g. Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' (variety)
-
e.g. Ligustrum japonicum 'Texanum' cone (variety & form)
After you have received your quote, simply confirm which plants you want
and we will secure and hold the order for you. After your order confirmation
is received, we will finalize the order with our inventory and suppliers.
Should there be any items that are unavailable at that time we will inform
you and, if possible, suggest available alternatives. 
4)
Timing
It is important for us to know when you need your order. Please furnish
a will call or delivery date. Orders can be held for up to 15 days after
confirmation. Any orders requiring longer hold times will be done by special
arrangement only and may be subject to a maintenance fee.
5) Will call pickup or delivery
Please let us know if you will be picking up the order or if you would
like it delivered.
Please refer to the
Order Form to determine the information we will need in order to fulfill
the order/quote.
Filling Your Order
Once the order has been confirmed, we will assemble your plants in
our will call or shipping area, as appropriate. Orders will first be filled
with our in stock inventory. Once in-stock items are assembled, the order
is sent to purchasing to confirm availability and order any necessary
remaining material from our vendors.
Depending on the number of in-stock items, average order turn around
time can vary from inside-of-a-week to up-to-a-month. This wide variance
is due to the fact that some of the nurseries we work with deliver to
us three times a week, others once a week and still others once a month.
If you need your plant material ASAP, we will work with you to select
varieties that are either readily available on-site or come from one of
our more frequent delivery partners.
Status
of your order
Please, feel free to call any time during normal
business hours to check your order status.
Once the order has been assembled, we will contact you to let you know
it is ready.
If your order is close to completion, but is being held up by an item
or two that are unavailable or hard to find, we will call to alert you.
Similarly, any other time we anticipate a delay, we will do our best to
make you aware of the fact as soon as possible.
