During the coronavirus pandemic, our goal is to continue operations to the fullest extent possible given the current circumstances. Some employees are working remotely. We don\u2019t anticipate any disruption in answering your phone calls or emails during this time, but many of us live in rural locations with slow internet. As we navigate our new remote work applications, we ask for your patience. For our employees that are continuing to come out to the Nursery, we are practicing social distancing, adjusting work schedules to minimize contact across teams, and sanitizing our workspaces daily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, to a few potential questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Are you still open during Minnesota\u2019s \u201cStay-at-Home\u201d order?<\/b><br \/><\/strong>Yes. Prairie Moon will continue to operate as an essential agricultural business (Category 1114: Greenhouse, Nursery, and Floriculture Production). Orders can be placed online, over-the-phone, or through the mail.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have an open order. \u00a0Will it still be sent?<br \/><\/strong>Yes. We expect to begin shipping plants on schedule this spring. Our bare root plants will ship, by order date, beginning mid-April. Potted plants will begin late-April based on both order date and plant readiness. We have been sending email reminders with shipping windows this winter; those shipping estimates remain accurate. If our plant shipping departments are compromised by illness or we foresee a delay in your order, we will reach out to you immediately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m considering placing an order.\u00a0 Are there any changes I should be aware of?<br \/><\/strong>No. As is normal for this time of year, some of our most popular plants are beginning to sell out. Our website has the most updated availability for seed, plants, and tools and we\u2019re ready for your order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Earth Day, Arbor Day, school, park district, or community event has been cancelled. Can I return or cancel my order?<br \/><\/strong>Yes. We understand these are unusual circumstances and we are making exceptions to our normal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiemoon.com\/cancellation-return-and-guarantee.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cancellation &amp; return policy<\/a>. Please contact us right away to let us know about your specific situation by calling 866-417-8156, or email <a href=\"mailto:info@prairiemoon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info@prairiemoon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>I live near Prairie Moon and would like to pick up an order. Should I change my plans?<br \/><\/strong>As a reminder, we are <u>not <\/u>a retail garden center; we are a mail-order nursery.\u00a0To save shipping costs, local customers have been able to pick up orders in the past.\u00a0At this time, we would prefer to ship your order to minimize the number of people coming to the Nursery. If you have already arranged a plant pick up, we will contact you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve signed up for one of your <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScBP7wK4ad_n4fmwn8BKxopKpqN0CMFLo_NsuM_y5emxIXceQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>summer tours. <\/strong><\/a><strong>Are they still on?<br \/><\/strong>We feel it\u2019s too early to make the call yet for our June, July, and August tours, but please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiemoon.com\/directions-and-tours\">website<\/a> for updates as the tours draw near.\u00a0 If you have already signed up for a tour, we will be in touch with any changes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>We are grateful for your ongoing support and<br \/><\/strong><strong>commitment to the environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>We believe nature provides solace and peace even in the most<br \/>challenging times, and we hope you find<br \/>sanctuary in the outdoors this spring.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 UPDATE &#8211;
