We Dig all Plants Fresh
Plants are first dug fresh from our fields or greenhouses and placed in large refrigerated coolers to keep them dormant, minimizing stress during handling and transit.

Superior Root Hydration (Terasorb)
After digging, plants are placed Terra Sorb, a premium-grade water retention crystal formulated to enhance plant hydration. Designed with medium-sized 5-10 mesh granules (roughly 2mm to 4mm), this potassium-based polymer swells with moisture, acting like a reservoir within the soil. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, it slowly releases water and nutrients back into the root zone, significantly reducing how often you need to water—often by nearly half.
Unlike traditional soil amendments, Soil Vigor doesn't clump or compact the soil. Instead, it boosts aeration, encourages strong root development, and maintains fluffy, well-balanced growing conditions. It's especially beneficial for plants that thrive in consistently moist, nutrient-rich environments.
Long-lasting and efficient, Terra Sorb gel remains active in the soil for weeks and It’s completely safe for use around edible plants, including herbs and vegetables.

Packaging For Transit
After our bare root plants are dug and then taken and soaked in moisure retaining gel, the roots is then surrounded with shreaded,wet paper filler. They are then surrounded by protective plastic, creating a moist, stable environment that prevents desiccation and damage during transit.

Protective Boxing & Labeling
Each carefully wrapped plant is then placed into durable, corrugated boxes specifically designed for shipping. These boxes are built to withstand transit and are clearly labeled for safe handling and identification.

Shipped Same Day
Once packaged, your plants are prepared for shipping. Our streamlined process ensures they are shipped efficiently, minimizing transit time and maximizing their chances of a successful establishment in your garden.
