During a down economy families go back to the basics and seed sales skyrocket. Our sales for Botanical Interest have increased by 19% over last year's to date and we anticipate a continual increase for the 2013 season.
Don't encourage your customers to go to the chain stores or big box stores to get their seed packets for fall or for Christmas stockings and gift baskets. Carry packet seeds and we will keep your racks full and inviting!
During WWI and WWII, Americans were encouraged to plant gardens at home to help ease food scarcities and support the war effort. These Victory Gardens (also called War Gardens or Food Gardens for Defense) helped to boost public morale and made citizens feel that they were doing their own part, however small, as well as provide some food security for their own families.
During these times of financial instability, an ongoing war, and increasing food prices at the grocery store, maybe we should all help bring back the concept of a Victory Garden.

Why a garden center, nursery, floral shop or hardware store should carry Botanical Interests seed packets:
1) Botanical carries a sizeable line up of Heirloom Seeds, Open Pollinated Seeds, Native North American varieties, Certified Organic, Non-Gmo Hybrids, and large packets of Sprouting Seeds;
2) 95% of every dollar comes out of a purse, not a wallet
3) Botanical Interests has the largest seed selection (especially a large selection of organics) with over 455 different varieties available at the most reasonable pricing;
4) Large packets make a very attractive and welcome stocking stuffer or gift basket addition;
5) Serious (and not so serious) Gardeners buy their seed packets starting in the fall and continuing through late spring;
6) Botanical has a very high germination ratio that you don't get from other less expensive brandsl
7) And last, but not least, is women start shopping for inexpensive, practical and appealing stocking stuffers, Christmas card inserts, gifts for their children's teachers, the mailman, the elderly couple next door . . . . .
