Tree & Shrub 1-YEAR warranty policy

 

Plants purchased at the full retail price that fail to survive the first year will be replaced with another plant or store credit.

 

  • Replacements will not be considered on plants that:
    • have cosmetic damage alone
    • that were purchased at a discounted price
    • that have been planted in containers, raised beds, or parkways.
  • The warranty is valid for one (1) year from the original date of purchase.
  • The warranty covers 100% of the original amount paid for the plant.
  • You must have a copy of your cash register receipt to activate the warranty. For your convenience please email us at treesandshrubsgethsemane@yahoo.com with a current photo of the dead plant in the ground and an image of your receipt for review.
  • There will only be one replacement of the tree or shrub, or store credit issued for the dead plant material. No cash, debit, or credit card return will be issued. The replacement plant will not have a warranty.
  • Delivery and planting services are not covered under the warranty.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY PLANTS BACK TO THE STORE! We will not accept any returned plant material that has left the property due to the possibility of contamination. Our plants are sourced from growers that are part of a certification program that are inspected on a regular basis to help prevent the spread of disease.
