Guarantee Policy
 

100% TWO (2) YEAR GUARANTEE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS  (NURSERY STOCK)
It is normal for plants to experience some stress for a period of up to 2 years after planting.
Signs of stress can be wilting, limited new growth, small leaves or loss of colour. Our nursery stock will grow if properly handled, planted and good "after care" is provided (watering, fertilizing etc.). Failure to provide adequate care will render your guarantee null and void.   

Our Service Desk is here to help. You can call or visit us should you have any type of problem with your plants. If it is more convenient, you can also email digital photos to humber@gardencentre.com attention "Service Desk" and we will diagnose the problem for you.
 
· Should a plant die while guaranteed we will replace the plant once with a credit note. (NO CASH REFUNDS) To make a claim under our guarantee, simply bring the plant and your receipt to our service desk. For plants that are too large to bring in, please contact us to make other arrangements.
· The loss of one stem on a clump plant and/or winter dieback does not qualify a plant for replacement under our guarantee.
· When using your credit note to purchase plants, if the new plant is of greater value than the credit note, the difference would receive a guarantee.
· The exact variety, size or price of plant you originally purchased may not always be available.
· Products purchased receiving VIP or Loyalty Discounts are eligible for all applicable, full value guarantees. Sale items are guaranteed for value paid.
