[Sacred Succulents] shipping hiatus

[Sacred Succulents]

	Greetings,     

	It has come to my attention that the email sent over a week ago did
not reach everyone and there is still some unresolved issue with the
email list from problems back in March. It seems to have something to
do with me posting to the the list from my other email address so I'll
use this one until resolved. 
	We will not be shipping orders from now until July 21. (orders that
were postmarked by June 21 will still be sent)
Orders received during this time         will be shipped on a first
come first served basis starting July         22. 
Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. After a    
seemingly endless parade of calamitous events the past few years and  
  our recent computer crash we have fallen painfully behind with many 
   aspects of running the nursery, maintaining the catalog/website,
and     correspondence. This has become increasingly stressful for us
as it     has been nearly impossible to get caught up despite our best
    efforts. After 20+ years we are also faced with needing to
renovate     much of the nursery such as our current task of replacing
the     majority of our plant benches and several shade structures.
Faced     with this increasing mountain of daily tasks means that for
months     now we have been struggling to maintain the level of
customer     service that we so value. The only viable solution we
have to create     the time needed to address so many integral
necessities is to     suspend the packing/shipping of orders for a
month. This is no     different than what we have done in the past to
make time for seed     collecting expeditions except much less
exciting. We hope to not     only make a huge leap towards getting
caught up with our essentials     during this month but actually get a
little ahead with propagating     new plants, revitalizing the
catalog, getting more photos posted on     the website and the new
Rare Plant List sent. We still need to pay     the bills and feed our
family during this time so orders are     welcome, just know that they
will not ship until after July 21. To       this end we will offer a
discount on orders that are sent between       June 21 and July 21:
During this time only you can take a 5%       discount on order
subtotals (before tax and shipping) between $25       to $100 and 10%
discount on any order subtotals over $100 (does     not apply to sale
items or wholesale.)
Thank you for your patience, understanding and support!
Some local customers have volunteered-- we can use an help with a
number of projects so let me know if there's a day before July 21 you
want to come lend a hand!

	We do have some new specimen plants listed on the homepage and more
