Garden goods genesis

Connects are clever silicone “flowers” that help you connect your canes together without using twine or wire.The folks at Strong Marketing will tell you that the best garden goods don’t magically appear. Much like the garden itself, high-quality tools and gift items must be carefully cultivated.

Company founder Alice Strong personally selects the best items for the home and garden. Alice’s skill is nurturing well-made products and bringing them to the larger market with the same care of a mother for her kids.

“It’s the ‘birthing’ of new products that I enjoy the most,” said Alice.

Strong Marketing offers an unmatched collection of fresh new garden ideas and tools for the hobby and professional gardener. The company works closely with patent attorneys and first-time inventors to hand-pick newly designed items that complement the trends and new markets.

The result: The best products on the market with the best margins for independent retailers. And let’s not forget superior customer service, to boot.

“We are devoted to excellent customer service and fast turnaround, so you are never back-ordered or without what you need when the sun comes out,” Alice said. “Visit our wholesale website. There is always something new!”

Speaking of new, here are three recently released items you’ll want to market in 2011:

Violet Companion. Gardeners can pamper their delicate violets with this hand-crafted tool. It’s 8.5 inches long and crafted from solid brass. The design is based on a beautiful 19th century tool found among our grandmother’s treasures. Continue the tradition by nurturing cherished violets with this top-quality tool.

Water Right hoses. Tired of pooor-quality coil hoses from overseas? These slimmer, sleeker, slender, designer American-made hoses offer the quality that your customers want, and you can drink from these hoses (no phthalates; 100-percent FDA approved). All orders received prior to Feb. 1 will receive a free display crate with the store’s name on it.

Connects. This clever silicone “flower” helps you connect your canes together without using twine or wire. You can just build and build. If it is a tomato cage or a teepee for peas, this clever products works on almost any shape any size. AND ... the cane size doesn’t matter because the holes will easily stretch over the cane. The more you have the more fun you have!!
