Does the recipient need to be home to receive the plant gift?

If the delivery address is a secure building and we cannot contact the recipient either by intercom or phone, and we cannot leave the gift safely, it will be returned for redelivery to be arranged.
Do you deliver to hospitals?
Yes, we do. Although we cannot guarantee personally handing over the delivery to the recipient, we will endeavour to leave it with the hospital reception or the ward with it clearly marked for the recipient. Please include the ward & bed number for deliver to ensure it makes it to the recipient. In line with current the COVID-19 situation some hospitals may refuse delivery. If this is the case we may need to issue a re-delivery fee for a second address. To avoid this please contact the hospital prior to placing your order to ensure they are accepting deliveries.
Can I choose a time slot for my delivery?
Generally we cannot offer a preferred delivery time slot. If you know that your recipient will only be able to accept the delivery at a certain time on your delivery date, please let us know and we will do our best to deliver your plant at your preferred date.

What special instructions should I provide?
If you believe the address is difficult to locate or unusual in anyway, the more information you can give us the better so we can ensure that your indoor plant can be delivered. We encourage you to leave a note in the notes section during check out that can help our driver locate the correct delivery location.
For example, if the indoor plant delivery is for a business address please provide the name of the business and whether the gift should be left with reception, on a desk, a loading dock, stage door or concierge etc.
For secure residential addresses please ensure the recipient is home or expecting the plant delivery. Alternatively you can leave a note specifying a safe place to leave the plant gift.
Unfortunately if there is nowhere safe to leave the plant gift, it will be returned to our Garner base and re-delivery will likely be attempted the following day. Fees may apply.
Do you have greeting cards?
We offer a complimentary gift card with all potted plant gift orders. Our gift cards beautifully compliment our gift wrapping. If no gift note is specified during check out we will write the recipients name, address and senders name on the Garner gift card. You can leave your message to your recipient on the cart page before check out.
Applying coupon codes
If you have a discount or coupon code you’d like to use, you will be asked to enter it once you have made your way through the cart. If you have any problems using the code, please check the capitalisation, spaces and any dates, terms and conditions of your code or coupon. Unfortunately you can only use one discount code/coupon at a time and if you forget to use it at checkout we are unable to refund the difference retrospectively.
I didn’t get my order confirmation email
