At Oswald Nursery, many of our first-year seedlings are sold through pre-orders before they’ve been fully grown. This is a common and trusted nursery practice that helps us plan ahead and grow exactly what our customers need.
Each spring, we start new seedlings from seed based on orders placed earlier in the year. By pre-ordering, you're reserving your spot in our growing schedule, ensuring you get the species and quantities you want.
Don’t worry—we only sell what we know we can grow, based on our seed inventory and growing capacity. Once your seedlings are strong enough and conditions are right, we’ll ship them safely to your door. You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on the way.
Fall Shipping Dates for Plug Seedlings October 20 – November 20 (weather permitting)
We begin shipping plug seedlings in the fall once they enter dormancy, usually starting around October 20. Shipping continues until about November 20, or earlier if freezing weather sets in.
