Checking Out

At the checkouts you will need the plant’s name, its cost, and how many you have. This is important: Shoppers who do not record the cost and quantity for each plant will have to go to the Price Check/Info Desk so they don’t impede those who have recorded the information.

If you have a plant that you cannot identify, you can stop by the Info Desk before getting into the checkout line. All prices must be recorded on your sheet before checkout.

You will be able to pay for your plants with cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express. You may be able to move through the cashier lines more quickly if you pay by check or exact change or round up your payment. Checks should be made out to Friends School of Minnesota or FSM.

Be advised that Friday morning and early afternoon are very busy and you should expect to wait to check out. This also happens on Sunday, particularly for the first few hours.

Rare Plants area has its own cashier… Once you've selected your plants, you'll pay this cashier separately from your final checkout for plants found outside of Rare Plants. This means you can take your plants with you during the rest of your shopping.

After checkout, you can leave your plants at the curb southwest of the Grandstand and return to pick them up in your car. Students or other volunteers will be helping at the curb. You will receive a number to differentiate your plants from others’ (similar to a supermarket system).
