Plant Material Return Policy
In order to safeguard against introduction of pests or diseases WHN cannot accept returns of plant material once it has left our facility or has been unloaded from our delivery truck. This policy is under the advisement of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) since WHN can only sell material that has come from inspected nurseries we cannot afford to risk introducing a pest or disease into our nursery from returned plant material that has not been inspected and approved by VDACS. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers, but we must remain in compliance with VDACS in order to maintain our clean nursery certificate we can only sell material that has come from an inspected nursery.
