  1. Barrie Garden Centre warranty program is aimed at indemnifying the customer against loss of a tree or shrub in the event of death of such tree or shrub, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. We will not be held responsible for any amount greater that the original purchase price.

Notably, but not exhaustively, the customer must have respected growth requirements for trees and shrubs such as drainage, winter protection and adequate watering. We therefore urge you to seek our advice, should your plant be struggling, before considering a return.
