monrovia spring 2014

Am I the only one excited about this possibility? I hope my local nursery will participate. I once asked them to order an all white Hibiscus and they acted like they had never heard of ordering plants for a client. New owners now and I do know Monrovia is one of their vendors. I like the fact that the plant ships to the nursery meaning no shipping cost to me. Of course I am sure there will be a fee of some sort but to me it would be worthwhile.

It's a good idea that might work. Sounds like Monrovia is trying to improve the process of getting a wider selection of their plants to buyers via independent garden centers, without burdening the garden center with extra inventory they don't want or can't afford. Since Monrovia makes regular deliveries to garden centers anyway, adding a few special-orders to the truck doesn't cost them any more and doesn't place a burden on the garden center, because the plant has a buyer waiting.

Monrovia like every other grower has been hammered over the past few years because of the Great Recession.
