Need More Plant Buyers?
How about shipping to Canada? Before you think that your products won't be wanted in Canada think again.
I've seen tropical plants being used as annuals, giant palms being rented for outdoor venues, and liners being bought to use as bonsai in northern markets from plants grown here. I would highly encourage you to check out this opportunity and consider the possibilities.Attention All Horticulture Companies!
