Packaging and Transport Tips
- Lay tall plants down gently in a truck bed or SUV and wedge pots so they do not roll.
- Protect foliage from wind. Highway wind can shred palm fronds and tender leaves, so cover plants in an open truck bed.
- Keep plants out of a hot, closed car for long periods during Louisiana summers.
- Water as soon as you get home and keep new plants in their pots in partial shade for a day or two before planting.
Shipping Outside Our Area
Live plants travel best over short distances, so we focus on local plant delivery in Slidell and the greater New Orleans area. If you are farther away, contact us and we will let you know what options are available.
Why Choose Local Plant Delivery in Slidell?
Plants grown and sold close to home are already used to South Louisiana heat, humidity and heavy rain. A short trip from our nursery to your yard means less stress on roots and leaves than plants shipped across the country in a box. Local delivery also lets you order large plants, such as palms, live oaks, bamboo and 7-gallon shrubs, that are hard to move on your own.
When you order plant delivery in Slidell from us, you also get real advice from people who know the area. Tell us about your yard’s sun, soil and drainage, and we will help you choose plants that will thrive there.
Best Times to Plant in South Louisiana
Fall (October–November) is the best season for trees, shrubs and palms because roots grow while temperatures are mild. Spring (March–May) is ideal for bedding plants, herbs and tropicals. In the heat of summer, plant early in the morning and water deeply for the first few weeks. Not sure when to plant? Text us and we will help you plan your delivery around the weather.
