A license from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture is required to transport and resell any live plant within the state of Tennessee. This includes any plant with a live root system, including:

- tomato plants
- herbs
- flowers
- nursery plants (shrubs, trees, etc)

It does not matter if you grew the plant from a seedling acquired from a licensed nursery; every agent/nursery along the way must be inspected and maintain a valid permit.

\*Regulations are subject to change and it is the responsibility of the vendor to make sure that they remain compliant and up-to-date. During the application process copies of applicable permits will be requested.
