No appointment is required to pick up your order. During peak seasons we can have multiple customers here at the same time, so calling ahead to let us know you are on the way will get you in the queue for our next available puller. We do not pre-pull orders, so please be patient if multiple people are here at once as we have a limited pick up pull crew.
No, we do not allow customers to walk the nursery. We have a lot going on around the nursery and want to keep everyone safe. And, some of what you see is already booked and not available.

We have high quality standards and will share any notes if anything you request doesn't meet them.
