Believe it or not, but Fall is a busy time for most Garden Centres and Greenhouses. And not just getting ready for the winter slumber.
Most of our suppliers have staggered fall ordering deadlines for next year's products. We started compiling our orders back in August. We have submitted a couple and are working on finalizing the remainder.
Our suppliers offer various plants in an assortment of sizes and states of growth. Like this year, we will be offering plants grown from seed, un-rooted cuttings, rooted cuttings (aka liners), retail ready products, first year seedlings, and retail ready nursery stock.
After more than a year and a half of endless searching for suppliers offering what we are looking to carry, we are fortunate enough to have been set up as a customer with numerous suppliers.
As most of you who have visited us may know already, we strive to offer different plants, flowers, veggies etc from what the big box stores offer, and even what other retail sellers offer. We love different. We love unique. We love rare. We love hard to find. In short, we love a good challenge.
We felt we should let our valued customers know that if there is something you are interested in, looking for, have had a tough time finding, or just something you once saw and were wanting to try, don't be afraid to reach out to us and let us know.
Plant people love plants, and every year there are so many new introductions out there it is overwhelming!
While we can't guarantee we will be able to find it, we certainly love a challenge and are willing to see if we can find a supplier.
One example is many of you asked for Angels Trumpets (an annual flower). Out of our entire network of national and international global companies supplying young plants, cuttings and seeds to greenhouses, we have struggled to find a supplier in North America for this one plant. We are still searching and might just find them.
