Delivery

We are located in mid-coast Maine, with locations in Thomaston, Rockport and Trenton. Our delivery range is extensive along the coast, to the islands, inland, and along the I-95 corridor in- and out-of-state. Please ask for a quote on delivery.

All deliveries are tailgate or curb-side only. In some circumstances, we may be able to accommodate special arrangements. Additional charges may apply for on-site moving of plants, extra labor needed to safely unload, larger orders, and/or a fuel surcharge. Please specify any special arrangements when requesting a quote on delivery.

It is the customer’s responsibility to have adequate labor and equipment on-site to receive deliveries. Extra charges will be added to the job if our staff must wait to be unloaded or if unloading takes more time than anticipated due to site conditions, special arrangements not made in advance, and/or lack of adequate labor or equipment on the receiving end. Please plan ahead to make all arrangements and ensure all is in place as needed to receive your delivery.

Please call 207.594.7754 or contact info@plants-unlimited.com to arrange for delivery.

Landscape Design & Consultation

Plants Unlimited is excited to have two landscape design professionals on staff to assist clients with their garden and landscape designs and plant selection!

We take pride in our communication. We make an effort to make your vision come to life and we believe that comes from talking with you about what you want and how you want to achieve it. One of our professionals will meet you at your property to discuss your ideas, review site conditions, and formulate a plan. We will hand-draw a plan and provide a cost estimate for the job. We enjoy walking with you through our grounds to guide you to the plants we have in mind for you.

We’re very excited for what we will create together!

Our Landscape Designers

HANNAH WARD HOWLAND

Hannah Ward Howland is a third-generation horticulturist. She inherited her passion for plants from her father and grandfather while growing up in their family-owned nursery and garden center in western Massachusetts. Hannah attended the horticulture program at the University of Maine in Orono, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree while concentrating in landscape design.

While this is her second season with Plants Unlimited, Hannah has been designing landscapes in Maine for the last seven years. She loves putting those skills to work while guiding clients to find the right plants for their projects. “I am especially passionate about finding new and modern ways to incorporate our Maine natives into designed landscapes” (per Hannah). Hannah resides in Friendship with her husband and their dog, Lilly. She enjoys spending time out in nature; hiking and birding with her family and working in her perennial, vegetable and cutting gardens.

JASON WHITE

Jason White has worked with Plants Unlimited for six years as a Landscape Designer – the last two years also being General Manager. He grew up in New Hampshire and began working in the landscaping field as a teenager. Jason graduated from the University of Maine in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Horticulture Design. He has experience working in residential and commercial landscaping from Connecticut to Maine.

Jason was awarded Young Nursery Person of The Year by Maine Landscape & Nursery Association in 2021 and is the Vice President of the Independent Garden Centers of Maine. “I take a lot of pride in helping our customers find that perfect plant here in the yard or making your dream house look even better through our Design & Consultation Services” (per Jason). Jason and his wife, who have two boys, have lived locally in the area for 10 years. He has always enjoyed playing sports, working with plants, and being outdoors. You can still catch him out on the field playing in local softball leagues!

We are happy to offer a delivery service to South Coast, Midcoast, Central, Downeast and Northern Maine. If what you’re looking for doesn’t happen to be in our extensive on-site inventory, we will work to find the plants and products you need.
