We aim to provide all customers with a safe online shopping experience. Our system encodes your credit card and contact details to ensure our safe transfer to us. The records of all activities you undertake or record using our website will remain strictly confidential and will only be disclosed to our employees and contractors for the purposes of fulfilling your order. We do not disclose any information to third parties. We respect your privacy and personal information and comply with the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We may use your email address to send our email newsletters and other announcements regarding promotions, new products, and special events. Should you wish to be removed from our mailing list at any time, please email: marketing@gardenlife.com.au.

Currency
All amounts listed on this website are in Australian Dollars (AUD).
Payment Options
You can pay by credit card, debit card or Afterpay on our website, or you can call us to place your order over the phone. Our customer service phone line is open from 9 am – 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
Placing An Order
By placing an order with us, you will be deemed to have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. If you are unclear about any aspect of these Terms, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Prices and availability of goods are subject to change without notice. If an item is purchased online and found to be out of stock, you will be contacted within 24 hours and offered a full refund or notified of when the item will be available.
Delivery & Shipping
Please read our full Delivery policy.
We deliver Australia-wide (some exclusions may apply), using a range of third-party couriers to get orders to customers in the quickest and most cost-effective way. Delivery costs are calculated based on our current flat rate shipping offer. Your order will be dispatched for delivery within five business days from purchase. Couriers offer a door drop service for boxed items and kerbside drop off only, for large or heavy items in wooden crates or pallets. If you’d like a VIP delivery service, find out more here.
Light to medium-weight items will arrive boxed and will be dropped at your door. Large, heavy, and fragile items will arrive on a wooden pallet, and some will also be in an enclosed wooden crate. They will be dropped to the kerb. Please ensure you double-check the weight of your pot before ordering. It’s a good idea to organise an extra set of hands (or more!) on delivery day for large, heavy, or bulky items that come in a wooden crate or pallet. Sadly, couriers will only ‘drop’ the delivery and cannot help with opening or carrying products into your home, or taking away packaging, crate rubbish, or wooden pallets.
Click & Collect
Click & Collect orders are available within three business days from the date of purchase and can be picked up from our store in St Peters during trading hours. Collections must occur within 14 days of an order being placed. Should you require storage after 14 days, a storage fee of $25 per week per pallet will be charged. Storage options are subject to availability.
Installation
The customer is solely responsible for the installation and use of products. Garden Life is not responsible or liable for any installation by a third party.
Garden Life is not able to offer an ongoing warranty once our pot products are installed. This is due to the nature of the pots and the exposure to the elements, plants, soil, and water.
Garden Life’s pots have drainage holes. This is to ensure water is free flowing. Please ensure these holes are not blocked before planting/installing soil. Please do not use geo-fabric, textile fabric, silt fence, cloth or similar materials, as it will become clogged by silt and roots which will prohibit water from exiting the pot.
Please place the pot in its designated location and fill it with good quality Australian Standard Potting Mix specific soil. Potting Mix is free draining which enables the water to flow through the soil profile.
Once planted, the pots need to be raised up on packers or other material, to ensure water drains away freely. Excess water in the soil profile can adversely affect the structural integrity and the exterior finish of the pot.
Returns & Returns
Please read our full Return & Refunds Policy.
Sale Items & Custom Products
Sales items are considered a final sale and cannot be exchanged, returned, or refunded.
Promotions & Coupons
We run a range of promotions ongoing and display T&Cs in marketing materials and on this website. Coupons issued via this website cannot be used in association with any other discounts or promotions, such as, items that are already on sale or discounted. Coupons cannot be used for shipping.
Manufacturing Natural Variations
Due to the handmade nature of many of our products, the dimensions listed are a general guide. Variations in size, weight, and colour can be expected. The following variations are not considered faults or defects. Products may:
- Contain minimal colour or texture variation
- Expand, contract, or distort as a result of exposure to heat, cold, weather
- Mark or stain when exposed to certain substances
- Be damaged or disfigured by impact or scratching
- Damage or disfigure due to incorrect installation methods
- Have non-structural crazing cracks
- Have scuff marks or slight scratching
Warranty
We regret that Garden Life is not able to offer an ongoing warranty once pots are installed. This is due to the nature of the pots and the exposure to the elements, plants, soil, and water. A pot is still fit for purpose if it has natural deterioration or discolouration due to its use as a garden pot.
Full refunds including shipping costs will be available in the instance of a major fault/defect as per Australian Consumer Law.
Any modifications or changes made to the pots will automatically void all warranty. Should a valid warranty claim be made, Garden Life is not liable for any costs associated or incurred by the customer as a result of removing and re-installation of faulty pots.
If you wish to make a claim, please contact our customer care team at 02 9517 3633 or via email: grow@gardenlife.com.au. You will be asked to provide the order or invoice number and date of purchase; and photographic evidence to support your claim, including a top shot of the product with at least two close-up images of the defect.
For the avoidance of doubt, a product is not defective if there is a manufacturing variation referred to above.
Subject to the above and subject to any condition, warranty, or right implied by, or any statutory consumer guarantee contained in, any law (including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) which cannot by law be excluded by agreement.
We give no warranties if any expressly set out in these terms and conditions; and all implied conditions, warranties, and rights are excluded.
The following only applies if you are located in Australia and deemed a “consumer” under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and may not apply in your case. Our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure. You are also entitled to have the products repaired or replaced if the products fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. By stating these rights, we do not vary or extend the remedies otherwise available to you. The name, business address, telephone number, and email address of the person giving this warranty are:
