How we package our plants for shipping.

For those who are curious, here is the process we use to prepare our plants for shipping:

1. First we gently shake off the loose potting mix to reduce shipping costs.

2.  After 10 plants have been prepared, the roots are layed upon a bed of moist shredded newspaper and gently rolled up.

3.  We double check to make sure that ALL of the roots are contained within the moist newspaper ball.

4.  We then enclose the roots of each bundle in a small plastic bag tied off with twine.

5. Each bundle receives a label showing the common name and the botanical name of the plants in the bundle.

6.  Next we wrap each plant bundle with large sheets of dry newspaper to protect the foliage from damage during transportation.

7.  The bundle is then placed in a brand new packing box and cushioned with dry shredded paper to prevent the bundle(s) from shifting within the box.

And that's how we do it at Paige Plants Nursery.
