How to Order
Click to find...
To order plant starts from my current inventory, here is what you need to do.
-
If you want to see the actual plant you may purchase, please send me a message to request individual plant photos and information.
-
Locate one of my marketplace plant sale listings using the vendor profile link or by clicking on a listing link on this site.
-
Once you find the listing and have decided on how many plants you want and which types, then click on the send message button on the marketplace listing to submit a request for an order. .I receive orders online by checking my Facebook messenger app. Please use the market place listing to send the message so your name and messages are connected to the tomato plant sale listing. This ensures you can leave me feedback to share your experience with others, as well as facilitate payment and communication about the order.
-
Then we will communicate on FB messenger. Once we agree on the quantity and varieties you're ordering, then I will send an offer showing the total amount owed on messenger. This is not the actual payment but just an agreement so we can use all of Facebook's service features on messenger and the FB app. Click accept offer box.
-
Then it's time to pay if you're using ePay. I accept payment on the messenger app, on Venmo, or on zelle. I can take cash in person if necessary. We'll discuss where to leave it on messenger.
-
We also will agree on either porch pick up or local delivery and discuss details about that.
-
For porch pick up, once your order is filled I will send you a photo of your bag(s) in the location for pick up. If you have not received this photo please check with me before coming!! If you just show up I may not be available to respond quickly enough.
-
Then either you'll arrive for porch pick up as agreed upon, or I will deliver as discussed!
-
Porch pick up can be any time and you don't have to stay once you've left payment. It's all done!
remember, I only offer contactless porch pick up and delivery for orders.
If needed I can provide Facebook customers with my cell phone number for text messaging. However I do not use or accept phone calls for any of my plant business.
Please allow me some time to respond to messages while I juggle the mom and kid duty I also have!
Thank you!
Now offering a service for garden impaired or busy people -
I can come deliver the plant and have it all set up and transplanted in a felt pot full of soil with a metal tomato cage, all ready and set to go!
Buying garden supplies is so expensive - especially the fertilizers and different things you want to add to soil for healthy plants.
If you only want one plant so you can grow a few tomatoes in your backyard this is the perfect service for you.
You would actually spend way way more buying all the supplies for yourself.
Contact me for more info and a demonstration on what the price would be on your own, and what I offer.
Please pick which plant you want in varieties in stock gallery.
For local customers that do not have an active Facebook Account Only
Facebook-less Orders:
I want to allow people without Facebook accounts to still be able to order. I applaud your resistance to the social media beast. I admit partial defeat in my case as using Facebook for business helps keep my prices low and enables me to keep the order process organized and easy, which is why it's preferred.
Direct Order Process:
To send me a direct order, we will need to communicate over e-mail or text message once you have submitted this form. You will provide me with your location and an estimate of how many plants you want to buy, then we can discuss the cost.
Facebook Free Order Requirements:
For safety reasons I do not allow contactless porch-pick up for these outside of Facebook orders, and I also require using a form of electronic payment (Venmo, Zelle, Paypal). The order will have to be delivered to you by myself. See ePay button on site menu for details regarding my ePay options.
Locations with Free delivery:
I am happy to deliver to Rodeo and Hercules, and possibly parts of Pinole and Crockett for free.
Elsewhere, Delivery Limits:
Anything beyond my local immediate area will require a small and reasonable delivery fee, based on your address. I can only provide the cost of delivery once I have your address, so I can't list delivery prices on the site.
I only can deliver to most of Contra Costa County, parts of the Vallejo and southern Solano County. I may consider Alemeda County and other east and north bay locations, but I reserve the right to decline orders I feel I can not make time for, also orders requiring a long drive or a drive through congested areas.
For a distant delivery addresses the order will need to meet a minimum total amount based on my evaluation of difficulty.
Please don't overlook the fact that I'm a mom with kids doing distance learning and I only have so much time to devote to the plant sales. Thanks for your patience!
FILLING THE FORM:
PLEASE include your full name, address for delivery (this will remain private between you and me, and I do not share any customer info with anyone else, in my control.), what kind of plants you like and how many you are hoping to purchase, and any questions you have. I can not provide estimates or information until I am informed on how many plants you want. Thanks!
