Remember that terra-cotta pot collection that used to sit nested in stacks in a corner of your store – all while serving as your “Container Section”? Thankfully for you and your customers, the New Generation Planter has more going for it – lots more going for it – as these great examples show:
- What is it? Crescent’s Agave line. Why should you sell it? They’re attractive and durable. Where to find it? www.crescentgarden.com
- What is it? The Glazed Mushroom Cap Pot from Ceramo. Why should you sell it? Or ... what’s the slant? Just look at the photo. Where to find it? www.ceramousa.com
- What is it? Campania International’s Large Square Medallion Planter. Why should you sell it? Part of Campania’s ultra-lightweight Polyethylene Collection, this planter’s easy to transport. Where to find it? www.campaniainternational.com
- What is it? The Memory-Pot from PP-Plastic Peuker OHG. Why should you sell it? This container is perfect for your customers who don’t have much time to water. It takes three minutes to fill the reservoir, which then irrigates over time as the plant needs it. Where to find it? www.ppplastic-products.com
- What is it? The Frontier Carriage Wagon from Fabtron Corp. Why should you sell it? This line of rustic wooden carts and wagons can be used to creatively display plants in the plant yard at your store or in the landscape – or anywhere else, for that matter. Where to find it? www.frontiercarriages.com
