The HGTV HOME Plant Collection has announced its new partnership with The Perennial Farm of Glen Arm, MD, for 2015, according to Randy Hunter, Managing Partner of Agricola Management Group, exclusive licensee for the Plant Collection. The Perennial Farm will supply a range of perennials for the 2015 Essential Perennials Collection. The HGTV home and lifestyle brand works in conjunction with Agricola Management Group to develop its various Plant Collections.

“The Perennial Farm is an excellent example of the exceptional growers we select as strategic growing partners,” said Maria Zampini, Agricola Management’s director of plant development. “Perennial Farm consistently delivers high quality plants at value prices to markets in their extensive territory – from the Carolinas to Maine. They are recognized as a leading powerhouse perennial grower and they join our team of more than 30 growers in the U.S. and Canada for 2015.”

“We also look forward to partnering with Perennial Farm for another important reason - sustainability. In addition to the seasonal beauty offered by our Expressions Annuals™, our customers increasingly want the sustainability of quality perennials that are landscape anchors offering hardiness, color and reliable performance, year after year,” said Zampini. “Agricola Management continues to seek high-quality growers to partner with us in our exciting growth opportunities.”

“We are pleased to be a new strategic grower partner for the HGTV HOME Plant Collection. Our customers tell us they want the highest quality plant material at a good price value, delivered when they need it most,” says Tom Watson, product manager with The Perennial Farm. “We also know our customers expect a high level of customer service and support and they want a grower that they can rely on as a business partner to help them grow their business. We are committed to meeting those expectations and more with our partnership with the HGTV HOME Plant Collection.”

“The Perennial Farm is recognized as the “Price Value Leader.” We listen to the needs of our partners, including the HGTV HOME Plant Collection, and continually adjust our operations, support and business strategies to satisfy clients and their customers in an ever-changing business environment,” says Watson.
