Returns Policy

We accept returns for eligible online orders within 7 days of receipt, subject to the following conditions:
- Products must be unused.
- Products must be returned in the same condition in which they were received.
- Customers outside the UAE are responsible for return shipping costs.
- No restocking fee applies.
As many of our products are supplied pre-potted, original packaging is not always required.
Stock Items
Stock items purchased directly through quotations, trade orders, or bespoke supply agreements are non-returnable unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Bespoke Products
All bespoke products, including custom artificial trees, plants, green walls, and made-to-order items, are non-returnable.
Orders cancelled after production has commenced are non-refundable.
In the unlikely event of a manufacturing fault, we will rectify the issue wherever possible. Returns and refunds are not offered on bespoke products.
Refunds
Once returned products have been received and inspected, refunds will normally be processed within 1 week.
Refunds are typically handled as follows:
1. A credit note is issued.
2. The refund is then processed via bank transfer.
Products must be returned in the same condition in which they were supplied before any refund can be approved.
Product Information
As our products are individually assembled and designed to achieve a natural appearance, slight variations in colour, shape, foliage arrangement, and dimensions may occur and are considered acceptable.
To help customers make informed decisions, we regularly provide:
- Photographs of stock items
- Images of previous bespoke installations
- Showroom visits by appointment
Many products are supplied in weighted nursery pots ready to be placed inside your preferred decorative planter, which may be sold separately.
Following delivery, some products may require light shaping or arranging of foliage to achieve their intended appearance after transportation.
