Wait… What Is Wholesale, Anyway?
You pull into the parking lot of Win Gardens Greenhouse, expecting to stroll through rows of lush plants, fill a cart with vibrant blooms, and leave with an armful of greenery for your garden.
Instead, you find a sign:
WHOLESALE ONLY.
Wait… what?
If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t buy directly from us, you’re not alone. We get this question all the time:
"Why aren’t you open to the public?"
"What does wholesale even mean?"
"So where can I get your plants?"
Great questions. Let’s break it down.
What Exactly Is Wholesale?
The simplest way to explain wholesale? Think of your favorite coffee shop.
When you walk in and order a latte, you’re shopping retail because that business selling directly to consumers. But where did that coffee come from? The shop didn’t grow the beans; they bought them in bulk from a wholesale supplier that sells to businesses.
That’s us—but with plants.
Instead of selling individual pots or baskets, we grow plants in large quantities and supply them to retailers, landscapers, and businesses.
Key Differences Between Wholesale & Retail
That means you won’t find a checkout counter or shopping carts here. Instead, we work behind the scenes, growing and supplying the plants you see at your favorite garden centers.
Who We Sell To (And Why It’s Not Individuals)
Since we’re a wholesale-only operation, we exclusively sell to:
Independent Garden Centers & Nurseries (Think: Meadowlark Gardens, Mt. Garfield Greenhouse)
Regional Box Stores (Like TrueValue)
Professional Landscapers (Who install plants for large-scale projects)
Retail Plant Merchandisers (Who supply plants to businesses)
These businesses buy from us in bulk and resell to customers like you. If you’ve ever picked up a plant at a local nursery or garden center here in the Valley, it could have started here at Win Gardens.
