Shipping Timeframes
We work hard to make sure you receive healthy plants that will lead to a thriving wildlife garden. Our growers nurture your plants until the timing is best to send them your way. Shipping begins each year in spring after the last frost date for your area has passed and ends in early fall when the plants start to go dormant.
Most regions are now shipping, starting with the oldest pre-orders. Some orders are delayed due to slower than expected plant readiness for several species. The southeast is currently shipping orders & pre-orders. The west will begin shipping in late May. Check your shipping region for more information.

What is my USDA Hardiness Zone?

Sometimes called “growing zones,” hardiness zones refer to a map developed by the USDA that separates the United States into regions based on the average low winter temperatures. The USDA Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones and further divided into 5-degree F half-zones.
If the shipping window for where you’re planting is open, your plants will ship within 10 business days* of the order date. You’ll receive a confirmation email from orders@gardenforwildlife.com with tracking information as soon as your order ships.
*Important note: To ensure your plants arrive healthy, we may delay shipments to certain areas during times of extreme temperatures, natural disasters, or other conditions that will impact the plants during transit. Any delays will be clearly communicated. For more information, read our Shipping Policy or check our FAQs.

Our growers are working hard to get these shipped out as quickly as possible. Once all pre-orders have shipped, the shipping window status will move to “Open”. As always, you’ll receive a confirmation email from orders@gardenforwildlife.com with tracking information as soon as your order ships.
