Protecting Your Environment
Nature Hills sells plants across the continental US, which has its challenges. We work with every state department of agriculture to ensure that we are completely up to date with all restrictions as each state changes and updates its compliance. We have eliminated the sale of Invasive or diseased plants across America.
Nature Hills has a full-time compliance officer, and we have also signed up with an advanced software company called Plant Sentry™ to keep tabs on every State’s restrictions. We can quickly stay current with all state and federal restrictions so you are not even able to purchase any plant that your state has restricted or prohibited. Our goal is to prevent the movement of invasive plants, insects, or disease problems.
Remember, that you may see plants on our website that are invasive in your area, but they may not be problems elsewhere.
As the states modify and update their lists of prohibited or restricted plants, we immediately update these changes. Plant Sentry™ ensures that we only ship plant materials to your home that are clean, vibrant, and disease-free, and are not invasive in your area.
Have Peace of Mind When You Choose Plants from Nature Hills!
What it takes to combat invasive plants and pests is staggering, not to mention its economic impact, and the effect on wildlife and local pollinators. It’s simply not worth the risk!
The shipment of potentially harmful, infested, or invasive plants has brought about large-scale issues such as Dutch Elm Disease, Bronze Birch Borer, and the nematodes that cause Pine Wilt Disease. More recently there are issues such as Citrus Tristeza Virus, Emerald Ash Tree Borers, and Spotted Lanternfly are threatening many areas of the country and devastating large areas of affected plant life.
We’ve taken the lessons hard learned from these widespread problems and put into motion stringent efforts to help prevent more issues from spreading. Nature Hills has taken the initiative to step out in front of this problem with Plant Sentry™ software. Ensuring every shipment is compliant with all agricultural laws and regulations.
Because we're protected with Plant Sentry™, we are able to concentrate our energy on our production areas. We grow super-quality plants and ship them in boxes that are engineered to ensure that your plants arrive in excellent condition. We also watch the weather and temperature before and during shipment to ensure your plant arrives safely and is not heat or cold-stressed. Hurricanes, wildfires, heat waves, and snap chills may delay your shipment, but Nature Hills is committed to ensuring you receive a healthy plant regardless of what Ma Nature is throwing at you!
We take pride in knowing that we are doing our best to guarantee the plants we ship are compliant with your state and ensure you receive a quality, healthy product that will give you and your family years of enjoyment! While protecting environments, wildlife, pollinators, and you!
