Pride Of Place Plants Inc. ™ - What we do: A new approach to plant marketing

We represent plant breeders from throughout the world to bring you, the grower, the Newest of their creations in woody plants, vines, perennials, conifers, and small trees. These specialized nursery people are generally operators of small wholesale nurseries who have spent considerable amounts of time, energy and costs developing New Introductions. One thing they all have in common is that their efforts originated with the criteria in mind to improve and provide success to the home gardener's gardening experience, be it through beauty, size, disease resistance etc. 
 
The Nursery industry seemed to be left out of the promotional push to advance New Products. If we take a look at the industries that have indeed captured our attention by effectively marketing their New trends and Products such as the automobile, fashion, hi-tech and music sectors, the lessons they teach us could be applicable to the horticultural industry, and as these industries do, the Horticulture sector should be rewarded for their hard work.
 
This is the need that we address at Pride of Place Plants Inc. We identify the buying trends and seek out the breeders with the varieties that will be selling in the upcoming years. We then facilitate the Licensing and Establishment of commercial production to meet the consumer demand for New and Better cultivars.  
 
We hope you will find some fantastic New Cultivars in the following pages, to assist you in your drive to provide your customers with a Fabulous New Cultivar and help to build their business, therefore accomplishing what the breeder has set out to do, and that is to enhance the home gardener's gardening experience!
