Sending palms mail order @happypalms

[happypalms]

Growing so many palms and having a nursery I do sell a few palms by mail order. It’s a simple online business you basically wake up and have made a sale for a few palms to various locations around Australia and to some countries overseas. I post on Mondays so I get the palms ready over the weekend, the key to getting your palms to arrive in a healthy condition is packaging, first I place a bit of cardboard and paper towel over the soil and tape that in there. This way you tip the plant upside down and shake it all about that’s Australia post job to do that without losing the soil and disturbing the palm. Then a paper towel is placed inside a plastic bag then taped around the bottom of the container so no moisture damages the packaging and it helps keep the palm hydrated for its journey around the country or world. Then I use zip ties to secure the palm in the packaging so no damage is done during transport to said various locations. A business card is placed inside and then they are sealed up the address is placed on the packaging and away my little palms go to start a new life in another garden. They arrive as seeds in the mail and then they are sent out to gardeners by mail. I love it knowing my palms are going to various locations and gardeners to be loved it gives me joy and happiness @happypalms

For the rare stuff try Floribunda or Jungle Music. You're a lot closer to Jungle Music than I am so the shipping shouldn't be nearly as bad. Or hell, drive down there. Make a day out of it.

You also have to write DEFINITELY NOT ANTHRAX OR WEAPONS on the boxes now. New policy.

What! like who has a couple kilos of anthrax to post. And if it had anthrax in the box with a declaration of anthrax iam sure it wouldn’t be getting into the country in a hurry.
