Hard Goods Plants Have you ever wondered what an entire warehouse full of any supply item a florist could dream of would look like? If you want to find out, just pay us a visit! Not only do we carry an extensive line of basic essentials like foam, glue, tools, wire, basic glass vases in all shapes and sizes, baskets, candles, ribbon, and more, but we also have the largest selection of novelty product in the upper Midwest. Sure, it can be a little overwhelming at first glance, but when you can find the preserved product, silk stems, novelty glass, specialty ribbon, and MANY other novelty containers and accessories—even large-scale event supplies—that you can’t find anywhere else, it starts to feel less overwhelming and more like a florist’s dream come true. Our hard goods buying team closely analyzes and predicts current and upcoming trends before each season so our inventory is consistent and in line with what your customers will be asking you for. In fact, we hand-curate numerous collections and in-store displays throughout the year to help you get inspired and break the cycle of what everyone else is doing. Our extensive inventory allows you to be truly unique in the market. We even invite qualifying customers on our buying trips with us, so you can see firsthand (and buy!) brand new products before anyone else. Our commitment to keeping you current in the industry is just one of the things that sets us apart. Jacquie Knutson, Hard Goods Manager Recently, plants have been gaining popularity in the market, due to social movements like “going green,” urban gardening, creating “green” living spaces, increased environmental social responsibility, and others. You’re likely seeing an increased interest in living plants from your customers as a response to this—we’re even seeing more and more weddings and events featuring live plants—and our plant department can help you meet that demand. Throughout the year, we carry over 200 varieties of green and blooming plants, along with indemand novelty items like magnetic mini succulents (one of our top sellers!), cactus gardens, mixed garden baskets, and more! We pride ourselves on our consistent inventory and quality— and on our ever-growing selection of varieties and sizes—and our connections also allow us to source plants by special request. Not only are we at the forefront of trending plants like succulents, cacti, tillandsias, large tropical foliage, and more, but we’re also your number-one source for holiday favorites and go-tos like Easter lilies, poinsettias, spathiphyllum, and many more. When it comes to care and handling to ensure long-lasting and healthy plants, we’ve got your back with a wide selection of soil, fungicides, and other amendments to give you and your customers a reliable, lush, and hardy product.
