Cha-ching! (12-14)

The staff at Roosevelt Trail Landscape & Garden Center in Windham, Maine, is so confident its customers will be satisfied with the trees and shrubs they buy there that it offers a 3-year unconditional homeowner guarantee on all of said plants purchased. And, lest there be any question about the significance of this commitment, just take a peek at the picture above; winters can be a tad harsh in Southern Maine.

"For years, the warranty on plants has been a gray area between retailers and gardeners, and our 3-year unconditional guarantee program serves to eliminate this," says a note on the company website. "We have tremendous faith and confidence in our tree and shrub suppliers and in our horticultural staff here at Roosevelt Trail Landscaping and Garden Center and our ability to maintain a beautiful, healthy, quality plant product. We as the retailer have an overwhelming effect on the survivability of your landscape plants, and we will unapologetically stand behind every single tree and shrub we sell."

That kind of confidence in the products a garden center sells fosters similar confidence from the folks who buy them -- confidence that ultimately is spelled "C-h-a-c-h-i-n-g-!"
