The results are in, and retail buyers LOVE the Garden Center Insiders sample box!

“I really appreciate the Sample Box and all the work it took to put those together. It’s a wonderful resource and I hope it continues. I go to shows and see product, but the Sample Box was a great way to put things in my team’s hands and let them view directly. Thank you so much for doing this and including us!!”

“Thank you for the sample box. A few of the items seem like a fit for our store.
