| 1) What are the prices of your plants?
Most plants are listed with price codes (A, B, C etc.) after
each plant on the order form. Refer to the chart at the end
of the order form or availability list for the corresponding
price. Pricing structure favors the purchase of full trays.
2) How many plants to a tray?
For 5 pint containers, there are 6 plants per tray. For quart
containers there are 15 per tray, except for Vinca, Aegopodium
and Waldsteinia that have 12 per tray. For 3" pots there
are 16 plants per tray. For 5" containers (Temperennials
and some herbs) there are 8 plants per tray. 1 and 2 gallon
containers are not shipped in trays, but you must purchase
at least 6 for the discounted price.
3) I see a plant described in the catalog, but I cannot
find it on the order form.
At the time the catalog was printed we had the plant available,
but by the time the order form was printed, it had sold out.
Generally if a plant is sold out in winter or spring, it will
become available again in the summer.
4) What is the best time to place an order for spring
so that I will get as few sold out as possible?
It is best to place an order September or October for the
next spring. Our inventory is at its largest in September
and is much smaller in May.
5) Can I come and pick up an order any time? Can I pull
an order myself?
In April and May we do not allow customers to pull their
own orders, as much of our plant material is already sold.
You may always of course place an order via fax or phone that
we will pull for you. Generally we need 2 days notice to pull
an order and it is best to call 1 week in advance to schedule
a pick up. Starting in June after we have shipped the majority
of orders, customers may come and pull their own orders with
out an appointment, using a current availability. Be aware
that we have 5 different locations and that it can take up
to 2 days to walk our fields completely. Refer to our hours
of operation. Note that except for April through May, we are
closed Friday afternoons after 1:00pm.
6) How do I become a customer?
If you are in the horticultural industry, merely place an
order and provide us with complete customer information, such
as name of company, address, and complete a tax ID form if
you work in CT, NY, MA.
7) How much is it to ship an order to my location?
Refer to delivery guidelines on
this website.
8) Directions to our fields and office.
Refer to the directions listed
on this website.
9) Billing terms and discount structure:
Refer billing and discount terms
described on this website.
10) How do I order?
Call or fax your sales representative listed under the Sunny
Border Nursery Staff directory on this website or fax or call
the main office. For large orders it is best to mail or fax.
You may also email an order, but we do not have an order form
that goes directly to the office on the website at this time.
Therefore you would have to save the order form to your desktop,
fill it out and email back to us as an attachment or a copy.
