Shipping plants is actually easier than you think and quite common! At Blossm, many of our community members ship plants all over the country! Best practices for shipping plants.
After discovering his love for plants, Brian was eager to spread the joy that he gets from them to others in his community. One day, he found himself exchanging one of the plants he had propagated, a rubber plant, with a neighbor, who let him pick one from her garden.
