Shipping Information December 2025

🎄 End of 2025 Schedule and Shipping Information 🎁

🚚 Shipping Cut-Off for Christmas 2025 🌱

If you’d like your order to arrive before Christmas 2025, please note:

  • Order cut-off: Place your order by 8:00am on Monday 15 December 2025 (AEDT).
  • 📦 Our commitment: We commit to shipping all orders placed before the cut-off in line with Australia Post’s Christmas sending dates.
  • 💌 Why this date? This earlier cut-off lets us send orders well before the busy (and hot) Christmas period, so they’re less likely to get delayed in transit.
  • ℹ️ About AusPost dates: Australia Post’s Christmas cut-off dates are generally based on metro-to-metro deliveries. For full details (including regional timeframes), please see the Australia Post Christmas sending dates.

🌱 Orders Placed After the Cut-Off

  • Orders placed after 8:00am on 15 December 2025 may still be shipped before Christmas if time allows, but we can’t guarantee pre-Christmas delivery.
  • If you really want your order to arrive this year, please order before the cut-off.
  • 🪴 Plant orders placed after the cut-off that aren’t sent before our break will be held and shipped from Monday 12 January 2026, in the order they were received.
  • 📦 Non-plant orders (pots, substrates, books, accessories, etc.) may still be shipped during our break on a limited schedule (see below), and may take longer than usual to dispatch.

🌟 Our End of Year Break: 18 December 2025 – 11 January 2026 🎉

We’re taking a break to rest, reset, and get ready for a big 2026.

  • 🗓️ Break period: Thursday 18 December 2025 – Sunday 11 January 2026
  • 🚀 Full operations resume: Monday 12 January 2026

During this time:

  • 🛒 Online store open: You can still browse and place orders as normal.
  • 📦 Limited shipping (non-plants only):
    • We’ll do limited dispatch runs once or twice a week for non-plant orders only (pots, books, substrates, accessories, etc.).
    • No plant orders will be shipped during the break to avoid plants sitting in hot depots or being delayed in transit.
  • 🏡 We’re moving house (for the plants): We’ll also be relocating to a new premises during this period, so thanks in advance for your patience with any small delays while we juggle boxes, benches and begonias.

📢 Staying Connected and Updated

  • 📧 Email: We’ll keep an eye on emails outside of public holidays, but reply times may be slower than usual.
  • 🌱 Store updates: We’ll be quietly working on restocks, new-season plants and fresh goodies for 2026, so keep an eye on the store and your inbox.

💚 Thanks so much for your support this year. We wish you a peaceful Christmas and a lush, green start to 2026! 🎄✨
