Ivy Crisis

English Ivy

If you have somehow missed it, let me be the first to inform you that there is a massive shortage of English Ivy in the industry now.   We just sold every one we had in stock which includes our first Spring crop which was not even ready!  When I informed the customers that the plants were not rooted yet, without exception, each one said to send them anyway!  And it's not just us.  Every grower I have spoken with within several hundred miles is in the same boat. 

 

Hang in there. More on the way soon!

 

 

 

Thought for the Day

Native American

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. 

 

~Native American Proverb

Cat Stevens 

Where Do The

Children Play?

 

 No way that it's been 41 years since I first heard this on a 33 rpm vinyl disc at the Kappa Sigma House at Auburn University.  Where do the childen play indeed and where in the heck did the time go!!

 

These words are more relevant today than ever and a reminder that we are in the Greenest and the Greatest industry on this planet. 

 

I hope that there are some of you out there still young enough at heart to take a moment to enjoy the music and the words

 

By the way,  where were YOU in 1970??

The Camera Doesn't Blink

Have you ever met someone at a trade show, checked out their plants, been impressed enough to order but then suffered the disappointment of receiving inferior material?

 

We believe in taking plants to trade shows that are representative of what you will receive when you place an order.  So this week, we are featuring plants that we are actually shipping now.  As the late, great comedian, Flip Wilson used to say, "What You See Is What You Get!"   

 

While some of these plants are shown loaded on trucks, remember that our Minimum Order is Only One Tray!
