How To Purchase Plants

Purchasing plants from Venero Gardens is easy - and you have several options.
  • You can visit the nursery by making an appointment and pick out the plants yourself.
  • You can order plants for picking up at the nursery.
  • You can order plants * and garden markers to be shipped directly to you.
* Although our intention was to only ship bare root hosta, we are now shipping other plants. Our shipping rates below are to be used as a guideline for orders of small to medum sized bare root plants and a small quantity of larger plants. If your order is comprised of all larger bare root hosta for example, we will charge actual shipping and cartoning. Most plants are shipped bare root - including clematis and do so successfully. Potted plants including conifers will be shipped at actual costs. Thanks for understanding.

Mail Order Information

Although our intention was to only ship bare root hosta, we are now shipping other plants. Our shipping rates below are a guideline for orders of small to medium sized bare root plants and a small quantity of larger plants. If your order is comprised of all larger bare root hosta for example, we will charge actual shipping and cartoning. Most plants are shipped bare root, including clematis, and do so successfully. Garden Markers and potted plants including conifers will be shipped at actual costs. Thanks for understanding.

When you order hosta, they are dug the day of or the day before shipping and carefully packaged bare root- that is, all the soil is removed and the roots are washed. The bare roots are wrapped in damp paper towels and secured in plastic. Finally the plant is wrapped in newspaper to protect the foliage and carefully cartoned. We have no minimum order size, however, we do have a standard shipping charge. See below for information on shipping rates.
