    I have been selling them since they started the program. They are a very large part of our greenhouse sales.I don't use the pots or banners it just doesn't fit in our decor. They will make your combo program take off.Good money per sq ft.We are also off the beaten path and a Mom & Pop----- Works for me ---------Upnortdareh

    I went to a seminar Monday also, it was great, I really like the info on the plants available thru PW, the other part of the seminar didn't have much zing. I wished that they had shown more centers that were impressive so that I could improve my center and show off my plants better. I really enjoy seeing what others are doing. They mostly showed the don'ts or what they are doing in Japan, (whole different market, and not that impressive to me, tooo sterile) But I am looking forward to adding the PW line to my container gardening portion of my business.

    I really like the quality of their product.
    My business is only open for 2 to 3 months so I really need that to bring in the customers. I am planning on using their book for container examples, love the way they look.

    So to answer your question, I haven't used their stuff yet, but can't wait to give it a try.

    thanks for the input- at the seminar- we won a nice kit of advertising cards and banners- meadow- i think we were at the same seminar!- have checked out the nice web-site and think we will register to be certified- like the aditional advertising- i like the idea of not having to use all the containers - thanks again and heres to a good and fun season!!!

    You are probably right about us going to the same seminar, I am the one that won the 1st prize of the display table. Wow I was really blown away.
    Are you going to sell the PW container mix also? or just the 4 1/2 liners or larger?? Do you purchase from Waldo's?
    This will be my 6th year in business, so I am still trying to grow my business.

    Hi to you Flowers
    I love the table. I will probably make it a display in smaller pieces. regarding Waldo's they are actually (site is waldoinc.com) and they sell supplies for greenhouses and garden centers, pots, planters and PW soils, they are on the southeast side of Toledo. another great site is glasshouseflowers.com, it tells a lot of plant growers in the NW Ohio area. Beroke's are listed there also.

    I am really looking forward to this season.

    Do you pick up personally at Beroke's? or do they deliver by Semi, I pick up because I am very small. But I love run around there picking and choosing what I want to sell.
    Last year I got there in time to get pineapple sage it was something different.
