Products and Services

Due to the seasonal and varied nature of our product, we cannot guarantee any specific variety of flowers  will be available for an event, for purchase or provided in a subscription bouquet at any point in time. Colors and sizes of bouquets will vary with what is in bloom at the time. We may have a limited amount of products available for purchase on our website at any given time. We limit sales and distribution of our products to a specific geographic area that we are able to service. Anyone choosing to make a purchase who is located outside of this dedicated area will need to be able to pickup or have their products delivered within our service area to receive their order. 

The Rural Botanist requires at minimum 2 days notice to prepare a bouquet or an order. This timeframe may be extended depending on a variety of factors including but not limited to weather, vacation, illness, etc. 

Event bookings are subject to availability. 

We aim to meet high quality standards and provide quality products, but we cannot guarantee a quality standard that will meet every individual expectation. Therefore issues of quality, within reason, will not be corrected.  Refer to our return and refund policy for more information. 

After purchase of a Business Subscription, you will be contacted by the Rural Botanist to choose delivery dates and sign a sales agreement.

Subscription and Individual bouquets can be delivered for an extra charge of $15 per delivery (i.e.: if you have a 10 week subscription you will be charged for 10 deliveries).  If you choose the delivery option this charge will be added to your subscription purchase automatically. I deliver within Sturgeon County, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan and Edmonton. If you are located elsewhere please arrange a pickup location within our delivery area.  

Alternatively, you can pick up your order free of charge from our farm. Approximate pickup and delivery dates, times and location will be arranged.  

Business subscriptions will be delivered to your place of business.

To ensure quality, you must be available to receive your bouquet upon delivery. Delivery times will be arranged ahead of time. If you are not able to receive your delivery in person, please leave a bucket of cool water on your front porch somewhere out of the sun for me to place your flowers in and plan to be home promptly. If there is no vessel of water the bouquet will be left on the front porch where quality may be compromised if not tended to shortly. Once delivery has been completed The Rural Botanist relinquishes any responsibility for the condition of the product. Should you be unavailable for any delivery date during your subscription period you have the choice to have your bouquet delivered to another address within our delivery area (friend or family) if you contact me at least two days prior to delivery otherwise that date will be forfeited (no returns or discounts for unavailable dates). Please ensure the occupants of the new delivery address are aware that there will be a delivery that day.
