QUALITY is a watchword for us. We work high-volume production houses because we supply perennials from coast-to-coast in the US and Canada. We earned our place in the industry by offering material worth re-ordering, a sign to us that we did a good job. That said, we always try for better. We switched from a chemical-based pest control system to one founded on biological principals. Our plugs responded well, and our customers rewarded us with more business. We can get behind that winning cycle.
We strive to provide VALUE to the buyer in three ways: as a source of new and exciting material; as a curator of premium perennials, both new and heritage, that are worth selling; and as a supplier of high-quality liners at a reasonable price. We don’t want to be known as “that expensive place” or even “expensive, but worth it.” We want people to enjoy a wide range of different perennials.
On the flip side, we also don’t want to put ourselves into the dollar bin. Cheap products require shortcuts that starve the plants. We want to be proud of the product we ship, so we ask for a fair price in order to do the best job we can.
Finally, we have a corporate committment to SUSTAINABILITY. We are not organic, but we are replacing most pesticides with a better way. We practice biological controls adapted for high-volume production greenhouses, customized down to the bench level. This shows that a switch away from pesticides and petroleum is possible, even under traditional market pressures.
