Gertens Warranty, Shipping, & Returns Policy

To honor Gertens Guaranteed To Grow Policy, we require the proof of purchase for the one-time replacement of plant material. The proof of purchase must include both your receipt and either the plant material or a clear photo of the plant. If your plant, tree, or shrub is too large to transport OR if you're unsure whether your plant is dead or not, you can also take a photo of it and send it to questions@gertens.com and we can help guide you on the best next steps. If you are signed up for our Customer Rewards Program you may not need your sales receipt as long as the purchase was made through your Rewards Customer account.

CURBSIDE PICKUP

Gertens offers FREE curbside pick-up on almost all of our plants and products. If you order online, please note that we will first contact you that your order is ready to be picked up. This is just to ensure that the item is in-stock and ready at our curbside pick-up area for you. Order turn-around time varies by the time of year, but we typically have most orders ready within 24-48 hours.
