Horticultural Suppliers
Always plan ahead for the supplies that you will need to pot and grow your
crops. The quality of bedding plant plugs and poinsettia liners will
decrease quickly when the plants are left in liner trays. Insect and
disease problems may spread rapidly while you wait for the “right”
pesticide to arrive from the supplier.
Before ordering, always consider how your supplies will be delivered.
Shipment of bulky items by common carrier will be more expensive than
delivery on the supplier’s truck.
