Wholesale - Quick Start Guide For Garden Centers

Welcome! This guide will help you choose proven products, create strong displays, and start selling successfully from day one.

Start With Best Sellers

These core categories perform consistently well across garden centers and retail stores:

Merchandising Tips

  • Group products by garden purpose (Vegetables, Flowers, Lawn)
  • Place fertilizers near plants or seed displays
  • Use simple signage like “Organic Garden Solutions.”
  • Keep best sellers at eye level

Add-On Sales Opportunity

The BASICS Collection of 100% cotton and cotton canvas accessories pairs well with gardening lifestyle and gift merchandising. Botanical and floral Totes, pouches, aprons, and kitchen textiles encourage impulse purchases and increase average transaction value. The Basics Collection includes collectible vintage glass with bright colorful designs that are attractive on the shelf.

Seasonal Planning

  • Spring: All-Purpose, Vegetable, and Flower Fertilizers
  • Summer: Soil boosters and plant nutrition, wettable powders
  • Fall: Soil building and amendment products, garden minerals
  • Year-Round: BASICS cotton accessories
