  1. Is the Touch of Nature website an online version of our catalog?

No.  We are pleased to offer our online customers a different program than what you normally would expect from a flowerbulb company.  We offer a high quality product, but also gardening information and inspiration.  Our online program offers varieties and combinations to assist you in the arts and crafts of gardening.  

We give you the opportunity to plant a "unique" garden from your neighbor...a garden you would be proud to show off.  Ordinary gardens have bulbs planted in rows like soldiers or in plots of 5 or 10.  We will show you how you can combine varieties and make an impressive "show" that lasts.

Items are shipped via Federal Express, UPS or U.S. Postal Service.  FedEx and UPS do not deliver to P.O. boxes so we do need a physical shipping address for your order.  A phone number is required for all shipments to be processed.  We do not ship to Hawaii, Mexico, Canada or overseas.

  1. Do you offer gift message services?

We offer a custom gift-message with a handwritten gift card on any of the items you buy for an additional charge of $3.00 per address.  You can request a gift-message during checkout.

  1. What happens if an item is back-ordered / not available?  When will my credit card be charged?

We will email you when a backordered item becomes available for shipping.  You can decide if you still want to receive items that were not initially shipped.  You will not be charged shipping charges for any backordered items.  If an item becomes unavailable, we will notify you immediately.  Your credit card will not be charged for an item that is backordered until that item is shipped.
