Acerca del rescatador de plantas
"Las plantas no deberían terminar en la basura sólo porque ya no parecen 'perfectas'. Merecen nuestro amor y cuidado, porque sin ellas ninguno de nosotros existiría. Con demasiada frecuencia, las plantas de interior son tratadas como artículos desechables, como un ramo marchito de flores, pero están vivas y hacen mucho por nosotros, lo menos que podemos hacer es hacer todo lo posible para ayudarlas a recuperarse" - Sarah @theplantrescuer

Presentamos Plant Rescue Box en colaboración con la autora y escritora Sarah Gerrard-Jones. Sarah, también conocida como @theplantrescuer , es una amante de las plantas y hace todo lo posible para salvar las bellezas botánicas que encuentra en su vida diaria.

Al comprar nuestras cajas de rescate, puede ayudarnos a reducir las toneladas de residuos que genera la industria vegetal cada año. A medida que crecen las ventas online de plantas, también crecen las montañas de plantas que se desechan. Los minoristas se muestran reacios a vender una planta si tiene la más mínima imperfección por temor a que el comprador se queje o exija un reembolso. Cuantas más quejas recibe un minorista, más propenso está a tirar plantas sanas sólo porque no tienen un aspecto "perfecto". La mayoría de nosotros estamos de acuerdo en que tirar verduras porque están torcidas no debería ser una práctica aceptable y, sin embargo, hay plantas de interior que se descartan en gran escala por la misma razón. Esto tiene que parar.

Desde que lanzamos nuestras cajas, ¡han sido muy populares y un gran éxito! Hemos estado hablando con algunos de nuestros proveedores y ahora estamos aceptando las plantas rechazadas de nuestros proveedores y usándolas en nuestras cajas de rescate de plantas, así como en cualquiera de nuestro taller que no esté en óptimas condiciones.

¿Cuántas plantas hay en cada caja?
En nuestro Caja de plantas de interior y Los números de los cuadros de plantas perennes de exterior variarán de una semana a otra. Generalmente incluimos 3 plantas por caja pero a veces hay más o menos dependiendo del valor.

En nuestro Caja de plantas inusuales y raras y Caja de plantas grande, es probable que haya una planta dependiendo del valor, pero probablemente coloquemos algunas plantas comunes más pequeñas en estas cajas. Para tener una idea de qué plantas clasificamos como inusuales y raras, consulte esta página .

En nuestra Caja de Hierbas, normalmente recibirás una mezcla de diferentes variedades de hierbas, seleccionadas al azar.

En la caja de semillas, recibirá aproximadamente de 4 a 6 paquetes de semillas, según la disponibilidad, que pueden tener una fecha de caducidad corta o estar fuera de temporada.

Las plantas se recogerán al azar y solo contendrán plantas que estaremos encantados de rescatar nosotros mismos.

¿Debería comprar una caja?
Las plantas necesitarán algo de cariño, por lo que lo ideal es que tengas una comprensión básica de lo que necesitarán para prosperar. Si desea obtener más información sobre cómo cuidar y rescatar plantas, estos recuadros son un buen lugar para comenzar.

¿Puedo obtener un reembolso?
Todas las plantas vendidas serán imperfectas pero con el cuidado adecuado crecerán; lo sentimos, no se realizarán reembolsos. El precio refleja el estado de las plantas. A veces, las plantas pueden llegar con plagas; hacemos todo lo posible para verificar, tratar e inspeccionar todo a la llegada y salida de Sprouts, pero a veces se pasan por alto cosas.

A veces puede haber un pequeño retraso en enviar su pedido si no tenemos plantas de rescate disponibles actualmente, pero lo enviaremos tan pronto como podamos.

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.

Link to your shipping policy

We get a lot of boxes, packaging and whatnot at Sprouts from all our various supplier's deliveries. We re-use this packaging material where possible, plus we take in donations from local businesses and customers to our shop to avoid excess packaging going to landfill. Sometimes your delivery might look a little different, or come in a branded box from another company, but rest assured the items inside are carefully packed with love and attention inside. We use paper tape and all our branded materials included are fully recyclable. Sometimes we use polystyrene, bubble wrap or plastic wrap in the packaging, all these items are not new and where possible, please use them again.

We have partnered with Zedify to offer low-carbon deliveries in Central Bristol for £6.99.

Zedify collect and deliver orders from us Monday - Friday and will usually deliver your order the same day its collected. If you place your order before 11am, we will aim to get it collected the same day but this isnt always possible.

We cannot give an idea of time, but if you would prefer delivery on a certain date (Monday - Friday) please get in touch or leave a note at check out with your preferred delivery date and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Zedify deliver to the following postcodes BS1, BS2, BS3, BS4, BS5, BS6, BS7, BS8 (1, 2, 3A - 3N, 4), BS9 (1,3,4).

You will get an email when your order is ready to collect, where possible please come and collect your order the same day as we have limited space. If you are going to collect your order at a later date, please let us know in the message box at check out so we know when to expect you. Some items such as gift sets, kits and pre-order items may not be ready to collect the same day, again please let us know what day you would like to collect and we will let you know if there's any issues.

We do not offer free returns, but if you are unhappy with your delivery, please get in touch. If your parcel or order has been damaged, please take photos and send these over to our team so we can look into this for you.

If you have ordered an item and you would like to exchange it, we should be able to do this for you. There may be an extra charge for delivery, but get in touch to discuss. For plants there is a 7 day return policy and 30 days for everything else, apart from sale items which are none returnable.

a little disappointed

One of the pots, labelled as mini echeveria with mother plant lost, contained nothing but some soil and some very brown rotted roots- so absolutely no hope for that one. The baby Philodendron Ring of Fire roots were very rotten- I tried really hard, but it has not survived. Happy with the other plants, which were just a little tatty, but feel those 2 were way too far gone.

Hey, sorry to hear you was dissapointed with your order. I have just checked back through at the photo of the plants we included in your order. The two little plants in little pots - Philodendron 'Ring of Fire' and mini Echeveria, where I believe, thrown in as 'extras' and this should have been explained on the handwritten note which included our recommended advice for each plant - apologies if this wasnt clearly noted. I can see the Echeveria in my photo, whilst is small, is green and alive, it's possible it didnt travel in transit well. The other plants in your box had cosmetic damage or where a little bit tatty like you explained above and these plants alone where over double the RRP of the box size you purchased. I hope the plants are doing well in their new home, thank for rescuing them and supporting the scheme! Cheers, Jessy

They made it

I received 5 plants with handwritten information about why they were struggling. I managed to keep them all and they are now thriving. So glad I could save them. I liked the personal touch of Sprouts of Bristol.

Not what I was expecting.

I was really excited to receive this box based on other reviews.
I received three plants, one very small but not wonky which was lovely, one which definitely needs tlc but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for and sadly the third was way past needing tlc and was never going to survive. I love the idea of these boxes but not sure I’d buy another one at this stage I’m really sad to say.

Fantastic bundle

I ordered the rescue bundle (I like a challenge and getting plants I wouldn’t always think of buying) and received a wide range of plants all needing some TLC but all could be revived. The order included a note with a little detail on what the issue with each plant was and the action needed to help get them back to best.
Wouldn’t advise for first timers or newbies as they will need work but if you like a little challenge and to eventually see your plants thrive then definitely worth it!

Letter from the founder - September 2024 - Sprouts of Bristol
This month we have been busier than expected, which is obviously amazing. We have worked with some amazing businesses, including a very nice doughnut cafe thats opened on College Green that you need to check out. We have welcomed Jazz to the team, she's already settling in amazingly. And we look forward to the end of the year for that ever so special quarter that is very very important to retailers like us up and down the country.

Letter from the founder - August 2024 - Sprouts of Bristol
We have launched our first (hopefully monthly) ‘Letter from the Founder’ blog post. I talk about a string of bad luck, from water gushing from various ceilings in my life to a break-in, and also reflect on the incredible work we have done to win two awards earlier this year. I look ahead to what’s coming up in August, projects we are working on with our clients, and some thoughts about the rest of the year. And I give an insight into my brain, why I am who I am and why I’m so thankful for all the opportunities, passion and excitement that running Sprouts has given me as a founder and as a woman.
